A merchandising device for bottles having integrally formed externally projecting neck rings comprising track means providing a pair of substantially parallel supporting surfaces having opposed edges spaced from each other to form a slot of substantially uniform width adapted to receive the necks of said bottles underneath said neck rings, and means for supporting said track means in a fixed position, is characterized by the fact that said track means comprises at least one elongated element having a web having parallel edges extending in the direction of its length, a first flange extending in one direction substantially perpendicularly from one of said parallel edges, and a second flange extending in the opposite direction substantially perpendicularly from the other of said parallel edges, the flanges being of different width transverse to the direction of elongation, and by the fact that said supporting means and said track means include means for supporting said elongated element in a first position in which its first flange serves as one of said substantially parallel supporting surfaces and in a second position in which its second flange serves as one of said substantially parallel supporting surfaces, whereby bottles having different neck widths can be accommodated. The device is also characterized by the fact that each of the supporting surfaces comprises a downwardly sloping portion for effecting feed of bottles by gravity, an upwardly sloping portion for retarding movement of the bottles, and an upwardly extending tab for positively stopping the bottles by engagement with their neck rings.
