Just wondering how people are storing bottles of 1000+ bottles. We have recently built a large 3 tier shelf to hold 2500 bottles. I was wondering what others have done to store large quantities of wine? Especially in limited area. I will post pics another time. Dimensions are 4'x8'x75" (height to bottom of top shelf, step ladder needed. lol). I figured 4, 2x6x8's strapped to a 4x6 oak post should be fine. There is another 3x4 post midway down the 8' stretch and 2x6 "X" from the bottom of the 2nd shelf to the bottom of the 3rd shelf. We hope it will hold 70 cases per shelf or 3500 lbs per shelf approximately. Is that enough?
