How about stair stringers? Turn them on their sides so a V shape is
formed, and connect them with short pieces of wood.

I bought some racks from Ikea, very similar except they are rotated 90
degrees, they worked out cheaper than buying the material and I had a
lot to do at the time so I went for it.

Ok. Here's the racks that Dean built on two occasions on Hometime :

Perhaps they will work for you or not.


I would also look into styrofoam containers. I have some for my wine
collection.
I just did a Google, but couldn't find them. If you live near a winery
or
patronize a particular one in another area, ask them if they have them
or know where do get them. They are a "clamshell" molded box. Fits
two bottles, I have ones that fit 12.

To which wall studs are you planning to attach? Under the stairs?

Uf you really don't care about appearance why not just get as many plastic
milk crates as you need and zip tie them together? You can make a support
for the bottom row so that they can be stacked on one of the corners instead
of flat and each crate can hold at least a dozen bottles. While the racks
from grotto are gorgeous it seems to me that there is way too many cuts and
assembly time involved. Also they only hold standard 750 ml bottles where
as the mikl crates will hold anything at all.

Just my $.02.

Depends on the block. The ones with two cavities, yes. Three cavities, no.

Will a wine bottle fit in the cavity of a cinder block? :)

Thanks Tyke. =20
I have been looking for ideas for quite some time. =20
These are the best so far.

You may not want to purchase from this site, but their design seems to meet
the requirements of maximum storage and to my eyes minimal construction
complexity.

The design avoids any circle types of cutouts, all straight cuts.

The studs that make up the walls on either side of the stairway.

Some piney one-by's arranged in diamonds gives you a lot of stable
storage for your piney dollar.

Similar to this:

I'd simplify it a little.
