How many wine cases (12 × 750 ml) fit on a EUR pallet?
Wine cases (12 × 750 ml) of 330 × 250 × 170 mm (also called 12-bottle wine cartons) on a EUR pallet 1200 × 800 mm (stacked to 1.8 m) — deck 1,200 × 800 mm, cargo up to 1,656 mm high. Calculated by the Cubestow engine on 2026-09-08.
Boxes kept this-side-up (turned on the floor plane only). 55% of the space used, 9 layers high, about 992 kg (99% of payload). Payload-limited: 90 would fit by space alone. Open this load in the 3D planner →

The answer in detail
A 12-bottle case of 750 ml wine, bottles lying down, measures about 330 × 250 × 170 mm and weighs 15–17 kg. Wine ships upright-case-only; the weight adds up quickly — a full 20ft of wine reaches the payload limit before the roof.
Boxes are stacked on the 1,200 × 800 mm deck to a total height of 1,800 mm including the 144 mm pallet, i.e. 1,656 mm of cargo. No overhang is allowed in this plan.
The simple grid estimate is 3 along the length × 3 across × 9 high = 81. The engine's validated plan holds 62, below the raw grid because the payload limit cap the load.

Frequently asked
How many wine cases (12 × 750 ml) fit on a EUR pallet?
62 wine cases (12 × 750 ml) of 330 × 250 × 170 mm fit on a EUR pallet (deck 1,200 × 800 mm, cargo up to 1,656 mm high), boxes kept this-side-up (turned on the floor plane only). That uses 55% of the 1.6 m³ available and weighs about 992 kg.
How high can a EUR pallet be stacked?
This plan stacks cargo to 1,800 mm including the 144 mm pallet — 1,656 mm of boxes on a 1,200 × 800 mm deck with no overhang, up to 1,000 kg. Many warehouses and carriers set their own limits (1.2 m, 1.8 m or 2.2 m are common), so check the receiving site's rules.
Why does the payload limit matter for wine cases (12 × 750 ml)?
Geometrically 90 wine cases (12 × 750 ml) would fit, but at about 16 kg each the EUR pallet's 1,000 kg payload is reached at 62. Heavy cargo fills the weight allowance before the space.
How was this number calculated?
By running the Cubestow 3D load-planning engine on the exact dimensions above, allowing rotation on the floor plane only, stacking with at least 80% base support and the container's payload limit, then re-validating the plan for overlaps, support and weight. Real loads leave room for dunnage, door clearance and uneven cartons, so treat the figure as the practical maximum.
