Can I store the bottles in the refrigerator on their side? Would they leak?

Yes you can. I put two in my book bag on my way to work every morning. They get knocked around and never leak a drop.

They held in liquids very well in my freezer. I laid then on their side and nothing leaked. Hope this helps!

No. After 1 month this unit I running beautifully, but the bottles laying down are lose to the closed door. No room up front.

Don't know about wine bottles, I store water bottles. A few of the shelves the water bottles just fit on there sides. And the bottom has a basket area that does not come out.

I don't think you would refrigerate these. The point is to keep your wine in a "wine glass looking receptacle" that is fairly break resistant and spill proof. I suppose you could refrigerate if you wished, but as a red wine drinker, we don't drink our wine cold, per se.

I have never tried placing them on their sides. There is no reason to do that. The only reason that wine bottles are placed on their sides is to keep the cork from drying out. Once you open the bottle, it can be stood upright. I hope this helps!

We have the 5 gal. models and although we have not carried them on their sides, I doubt they would leak. These are very well made, heavy duty containers

No, at least not when I've used these bottlestoppers. My suggestion is to just make sure you push the stopper all the way in before placing the bottle on its side.

The fridge size is ok, but the height between shelves a little short. So, Some bottles are unable to store.

That is what I wanted to know...... It is very helpful to know that it leaks if it is stored horizontally. Thanks.

if you are laying the bottles on their sides, not a problem...if the diameter of the bottle fits in the grooves of the holder, and if it is a long bottle it might hang out over the edge.

Yes you can. I only had 3 doTerra bottles handy but they fit in perfectly. I would guess you could store up to 6 or 7 bottles in each compartment. Good idea!!

Yes on wine bottles and martinelli's sparkling cider. They are wonderful! No leakage with bottle on side.

I don't know, as I bought my bottles one at a time. Just keep them unopened in a dry area and they should be OK.

The shelves are not moveable....of course you can remove a couple of them if you need to. I found that some bottles are very tight to get in but have been able to get the Pinot bottles in. If the bottle is really unusual you may have an issue. I remain pleased with the cooler. It maintains the exact temperature and very silent.

You can remove them... If you want to store 1.5L bottles. That's it. You sacrifice an entire row of 750 ml bottles doing that.
