The invention relates to a tray which is used for the horizontal storage and support of bottles. The invention comprises a surface having an upper relief defining groups of housings which receive horizontal bottles. According to the invention, a wider zone and an opposing narrower zone are defined in each of the aforementioned housings. Moreover, each group of housings comprises two first parallel adjacent housings which are disposed in the same plane and a second additional elevated, inverted housing. The narrower zone of the second housing is fitted between the narrower zones of the first housings, such as to be in contact with the wider zone of same. In addition, the plane of the second housing is elevated at a height in relation to the plane of the first two housings, said height being equal to the dimension of the wider zone of the housings. The inventive device requires less space than standard systems since the bottle placed in the second housing is inserted more deeply between the other pair of housings.
Rack for horizontally supporting and storing bottles which includes a surface with an upper relief which defines several sets of compartments designed to accept a bottle in each laid out horizontally, each compartment defining a wider area and an opposite narrower area. This rack is characterised by the fact that each set of compartments is defined by the first two compartments which are equal in length, parallel and substantially running together on the same plane and a second, additional, inverted compartment on an elevated plane with regard to the aforementioned plane for the aforementioned two first compartments. The narrower area on the second, additional compartment is enclosed between the corresponding narrower areas on the aforementioned first two compartments and substantially in contact with the wider area on the same.
