There are a lot of options.
One can build diamond bins pretty easily.
Some people advocate stacking cut 3.5" PVC pipes, cheap and easy way to make
"racks" (I'd go two bottles deep). .
I put some on my extra wine in "milk crates", but I just stack the crates, I
don't make bins out of them. If you want something against wall where you
can reach in and grab bottles, probably best not having flat bottoms. Maybe
you could assemble square crates so they are in diamond formation.
