A cylinder product vertical storage rack for storing generally cylindrical shaped products, such as wine, in a generally horizontal orientation. The rack includes three parallel equi-spaced sets of longitudinal continuous support elements defining support surfaces each having an effective width selected to longitudinally accommodate one or more of cylindrical products of a pre-determined length. The sets of support elements are oriented such that the second and third sets of support elements intersect and supportingly engage the first set of support elements at equi-spaced intervals at included angles with respect to the first support elements of +60 degrees and -60 degrees respectively, to produce a lattice structure defining a plurality of multiple cylinder receiving regular hexagon prism shaped openings having sides of length x, each of the hexagonal prism shaped openings being in apex to apex contact, with a pair of opposed equilateral triangular prism shaped openings also having sides of length x disposed there between. In the preferred form rack is configured to hold 19 bottles in each regular hexagon prism shaped opening. Fg 4 31 Fig. 1 |
