Crates for 750 mL Bottles?

[Irrenarzt]

I use milk crates for 22's and they stack in there all nice and perfect. But I've mostly moved into 750's over the past couple of years and these unfortunately do not pack as well into the standard square crate.

I'm curious if anyone has seen a slightly larger crate that will work better with 750's? If not, what do you do to deal with your filled or stored 750 bottles?

I wish I had something longer lasting like a wooden crate, but I currently use old wine boxes. I almost never buy or drink wine, but there is a liquor store near my work that let's me take as many as I want.

Yeah I'm looking for something more durable than a cardboard box. If anyone knows of anything like this, please post it up.

I used this, it will fit 15 of my 750ml bottles. I made the crate a bit taller for stacking. I wouldn't want to make the crates too much bigger because of the weight. I may make a crate big enough to fit 18 soon.

Kickass. Thanks for the information. I was thinking I would have to DIY this and this will help. I can tailor the dimensions to fit the 750's...
