1. A stackable retail display glide rack for maximizing selection of predetermined beverage containers within a beverage display case, the predetermined beverage containers each having a height and width, said glide rack comprising: a plurality of elongated generally planar base members each having a top surface, a bottom surface, a length, a width, a front end, a rear end, a first side and a second side, each bottom surface including a plurality of uniformly spaced indentations extending along the length of a corresponding base member, wherein a generally planar vertical partition is connected to the first side of each base member and extends substantially along the entire length of each base member at a perpendicular angle;wherein each vertical partition has a top end, an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the outer surface of each vertical partition comprises a plurality of first horizontal protrusions and a plurality of first openings, wherein the plurality of first horizontal protrusions are uniformly spaced along the length of each vertical partition and a corresponding individual first opening from said plurality of first openings is formed in the outer surface of each vertical partition between each adjacent pair of first horizontal protrusions in an alternating manner;wherein the second side of each base member comprises a plurality of second horizontal protrusions and a plurality of second openings, wherein the plurality of second openings are uniformly spaced along the length of each second side and a corresponding individual second protrusion from said plurality of second protrusions extends from the second side of each base member between each adjacent pair of second openings in an alternating manner;wherein when in use, the second horizontal protrusions of one base member matingly engages corresponding first openings on an adjacent base member and the first horizontal protrusions of said one base member matingly engages second openings in another adjacent base member so that the respective base members are interconnected;wherein the corresponding adjacent vertical partitions of the respective interconnected base members form individual rows between each adjacent pair of vertical partitions;each of the individual rows including an open top end, a height and a width that approximates the width of one of the predetermined beverage containers, and further includes an open front end that is configured to receive and dispense a plurality of the predetermined beverage containers in each of a horizontal manner and a vertical manner;wherein a plurality of vertical protrusions extend upwardly from the top end of each of the vertical partitions, each of said vertical protrusions including a shape and dimension that corresponds to the indentations of each base member so that, when in use, respective vertical protrusions and respective indentations of corresponding base members are removably connected in order to allow each of the rows to be stacked into a vertical column, thereby increasing the number of rows in the glide rack and enabling additional beverages to be stored therein. 2. The stackable glide rack of claim 1, wherein each row includes a pusher configured to move the beverage containers to the front end of each row. 3. The stackable glide rack of claim 1, wherein the stackable glide rack includes a shape and dimension suitable for use on an inclined retail gravity feed shelf. 4. The stackable glide rack of claim 1, wherein each of said base members, vertical partitions and vertical protrusions are constructed from a single material that was molded at a time of construction. 5. The glide rack of claim 1, wherein each of the vertical partitions have an identical height. 6. The glide rack of claim 1, wherein one of the predetermined beverage containers includes a conventional sized 16 ounce can. 7. The glide rack of claim 1, wherein one of the predetermined beverage containers includes a 24 ounce bottle. 8. The glide rack of claim 1, further comprising an identification unit positioned along the front end of each of the rows, said identification unit being configured to identify a type of predetermined beverage container stored in a particular row.
