Abstract: A stacking support for at least one row of wine bottles is of sheet-like form with indentations (10) shaped to receive and locate at least one row of bottles in parallel relationship in a first layer. The indentations (10) are so arranged that when a second like support for carrying a second layer will be laterally offset with respect to those of the first layer so that the bottles of the second layer will be supported by the bottles of the first layer. The support is so configured that when it is used in conjunction with the second like support (16) the two supports (16) cooperate to ensure anti-sagging support in the zone of the endmost bottle-carrying indentation (10e) of the second layer only partially supported by the first layer.
