    Abstract: A rack to hold up to 116 standard wine bottles or similar contents consists of a square outer frame having two diagonal partitions in each direction, the partitions being slotted to interfit at their intersections. Four end pieces are provided, one for each end of each pair of partitions and the end pieces are bolted to the outer frame members. Each end piece consists of a rectangular base and a strip along opposed edges of the base which is nailed to the base. Each strip in cross-section has a back, a front parallel to and congruent with the back and two complementary sides consisting of right-angle grooves. Holes extended from back to front for the bolts which connect the sides to the outer frame. A T-nut or other fastener is preferably recessed into the front to engage the bolt.
