Wine Bottle Size Chart
A question we hear a lot is:
What type of racking will I need for my wine collection?
The answer is:
What type of wines are you storing? Cabs? California Chardonnay? Barossa, Burgundy, Bubbly, Pinot Noir, Dessert Wines?
Each wine style is packaged in a unique bottle style. Some wine bottle sizes are so different from others they require their own special racks. Therefore, the wine racking you buy should reflect the different styles and bottle sizes in your collection.
We Specialize In Wine Racks For All Bottle Sizes
Wine Racks America produces wine racking for any bottle style, from split to magnum, and specialty racking for 3L Jeroboams and carboys.

Best Wine Racking System Based on Bottle Size and Dimensions
A wine racking system should be able to accommodate a variety of wine bottle sizes, from splits to magnums to turleys.
The wine bottle size chart on this page shows the wide variation in wine bottle shapes and sizes. Standard wine bottles are approximately 3-3.2 inches in diameter and around 12 inches tall, while champagne bottles are slightly fatter and taller. Bordeauxs and cabs have a pronounced shoulder, while large pinot and champagne bottles have a long neck and slender shoulder.
Given the diversity of wine bottle sizes, you’ll want to choose a racking system that can accommodate a variety of bottle shapes and sizes. Our modular racking systems are perfect for the job.
All our racking systems are designed to comfortably store most standard 750ml bottles, and we offer specialty racks for larger champagne bottles, magnums, and splits. Cubes and bins are another option—perfect for storing a wide variety of bottle types and sizes.
All our racking systems are designed to withstand the temperature and humidity conditions in a wine room or cellar.
Choosing a Material
Choosing a material comes down to your aesthetic preferences and goals. Wood wine racks are traditional and timeless, while metal racking systems are sleek and modern.
Wood Wine Racks
We offer a variety of high-quality wood options, including:
- Ponderosa Pine: Ponderosa pine is a durable softwood with a clean-looking finish. We use furniture-grade ponderosa pine sourced from the Pacific Northwest.
- Knotty Alder: The all-American hardwood of choice, alder wood is easy to mill and stain. Known for its unique character, knotty alder wine racks create an eye-catching display. The knotty alder wood we use is grown and harvested in the USA.
- Premium Redwood: This beautiful, mildew-resistant wood species is native to the west coast of North America. Unparalleled in appeal, Premium Redwood looks amazing in wine cellars. Note: Premium Redwood is not available for certain InstaCellar™ cabinet products.
- Grand Mahogany: This straight-grained hardwood has pink to light-brown coloration and makes beautiful wine racks. Our mahogany is FSC certified and sustainably farmed in South America. Note: Grand Mahogany is not available for certain Living Series products.
