This is a bottle dryer I made back in December of 2012 that holds 54 12oz. bottles. I uploaded the photos into the image area but I thought more people would see it here. I didn't like the idea of the bottle tree, and I thought others may agree. The cost was estimated at less than $10.00 because this was actually made from scrap wood in my garage. It is nearly the exact size of my towels in the kitchen, so I place one underneath to absorb any drainage from the bottles. The bottles stand perfectly along with the spacing. The following are the dimensions and material that I used.
1/2" Plywood Sanded dimensions are 22 1/2" x 15"
4 - 1" x 3" cut to 2" length for legs
Neck holes are 1 1/4" with 2 1/2" spacing on center
Finishing is optional but highly recommended to prevent absorption of moisture. Personally I painted the bottom black, and stained the top along with a two coats of polyurethane.
In addition you could also use UHMW, if you have the means to work with it.
