How many wine bottles fit in a 40ft container?
A 40ft container holds about 22,000–24,000 wine bottles in cases. That's a serious shipment — roughly 2,000 cases.

Weight warning
28,000 kg exceeds the 26,580 kg payload limit. A fully loaded 40ft container of wine will be weight-limited before it's volume-limited. You'll likely need to leave 2–3 pallet positions empty.
Practical maximum: about 22,000 bottles (1,830 cases, ~23 pallets) to stay within weight.
