Storage¶
Overview¶
The Storage system represents how bottles are organized physically.
Shelf Concepts¶
A Shelf (or rack) is a container for bottles. It may be either:
- Unstructured — a freeform space with no limits on capacity
- Structured — a grid with fixed rows and columns
Unstructured / Unlimited Shelf¶
Unstructured shelves act like bins, crates or a fridge — you can add as many bottles as you like without worrying about coordinates.
Characteristics¶
- No defined rows or columns
- Effectively unlimited capacity
- Perfect for bulk or casual storage
Example¶
Fridge¶
| Wine | Row | Column |
|---|---|---|
| Château Margaux 2015 | ||
| Penfolds Grange 2014 |
Structured / Grid Shelf (Rows × Columns)¶
Structured shelves define a clear grid — each bottle sits in a specific slot (row and column).
This is perfect for users who want to know exactly where each bottle is stored.
Characteristics¶
- Fixed number of rows and columns
- Each slot holds exactly one bottle
- Prevents overfilling or duplicates
- Makes locating a bottle easy
Example: “Main Rack”¶
