Just wondering if I can get some ideas on how to store wine. Cardboard boxes tend to fall apart after a few weeks and I could do with some
feedback on what others do.

If you are like me and want maximum numbers for a given space, I have found the simple solution to be to place 2 rubber bands around each bottle, or 2 on one bottle then the neighbor 1, and pack them tightly into a drawer or box.
I have done the GRR twice with this arrangement in my Discovery 2 with no breakages.
The drawer also includes numerous cans of beer also separated by rubber bands.
If you have more than 1 row, then place a bit of cardboard in between.

We have one of those silly corner cupboards which are good for nothing except you can fit 6 bottles in the bottom and then place an old pillow protector against the door as you close it. Top shelf takes at least one bottle of the top shelf stuff e.g. Scotch but again need to protect with old pillow protector.
As for tinnies, I can fit 52 cans into the 32L Waeco but I place an old place mat between the 2 layers. Refill every night so there is no room for movement caused by missing cans.

Get some square longlife milk cartons, cut the tops off, wash them out and a standard wine bottle fits perfectly. Put a dozen of those in a cardboard wine box and it will last for years.
For the fatter
champagne bottles, can do similar but you need to cut a few individual chamagne bottle boxes in half. Get the boxed
champagne with some brands like Croser.
