How it is built

  • Shelves run the full width; dividers sit between them, so every divider is the height of one cell.
  • Shelves and dividers are 20 mm shallower than the sides.
  • Cells of about 100 × 100 mm hold standard 75 cl bottles lying down.

Common mistakes

  • Making the cells too big: bottles roll and knock each other.
  • Placing the cabinet next to a radiator or in sunlight: wine likes a stable, cool place.

Tools you need

  • Table saw
  • Drill/driver
  • Clamps
  • Edge banding iron

Frequently asked questions

What size should a wine cubby be?

About 100 × 100 mm for standard 75 cl bottles; 110–120 mm for champagne and wider bottles.

How many bottles does it hold?

One per cell: rows × columns. The default 7 × 5 grid holds 35 bottles.

Should wine bottles lie down?

Yes, bottles with corks are stored lying down so the cork stays moist. The cells keep each bottle level and apart.
