Abstract: Stackable crates of synthetic material for bottles, especially wine bottles, having a compartmental subdivision for the accommodation of one bottle each in one compartment, first supporting surfaces for stacking the crates one upon another in a vertical position, second supporting surfaces at at least two opposite side walls for stacking the crates in a horizontal position, with each compartment comprising portions of elastically shapable material adapted to be brought into engagement with the bottle wall at circumferentially spaced intervals, and with two sizes of crates provided, of which the smaller crates--measured outside--are half the length of the greater crates but the same width, and in that the second supporting surface are arranged in such a manner that the supporting surfaces of the smaller crates may respectively be supported by supporting surfaces of both halves of the side walls of the greater crates, and the greater crates may respectively be supported in the horizontal position while being re
