Ok, so I spent way too much time last night looking for some sort of formula, if there is one on whole placement on a Gravity wine bottle holder. I would think you need to take into consideration all dimension of the board? Any help
Thanks in advance

Here are the dimensions I used:

Depending on your hole size and cut angle, the 5-7/8” dimension will change. The best thing is to make a test piece first from scraps. Just to start somewhere and adjust until it works. I found it really wasn’t too difficult.

If you search wine balancers here, you’ll fine several different formulas. Part of it is if you want the bottle held level or not. I know Jim Jakosh just recently posted his formula as well.

The best and quickest way is to use trial and error. With all the different size bottles, it would be difficult to pin down specific dimensions. I assume you want the bottle to be neck down to keep the cork wet?

Ideally, if you make the hole large enough to slide the bottle in and out and buy a bottle that has a couple inches of play that is fairly straight, 45 degree’s will balance. Sneak up on it.
