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

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
