Wine bottle holders are pretty standard with decent cabinet companies. They can be vertical as you saw, or horizontal. You can get one row/column or two rows/columns or more. They can be box-shaped to hold each bottle, or lattice-shaped.

A couple of cautions. Having a vertical one next to a fridge or a horizontal one on top of a fridge runs the risk of ruining the wine from the heat of the appliance. You will still need filler between the fridge and the wine holder to protect the wine from heat. Also, look to see where the sun hits in the kitchen. If you have direct sun from an eastern or western-facing window directly shining on the wine, it will ruin the wine.

You really do not want wine next to a very warm blowing hot air refrigerator. It will ruin your wine. This is why people make mistakes when designing their own kitchens. Sometimes, although they are upfront costly, designers can save you thousands in mistakes.

Thanks all!

In reality I knew this (wine should be stored cool and dark) already, but got so wrapped up in just the logistics of layout and visuals that I didn't really think any deeper. Guess it'll probably be a filler strip for us between the fridge and adjacent wall.

Wine may not be right, but there are lots of narrow cabinets for trays, dish towels, etc. As noted above, a good kitchen designer is invaluable. Have you chosen your line of cabinets?

“Guess it'll probably be a filler strip for us between the fridge and adjacent wall.”

You must have missed Live_Wire_Oak’s rec above for a broom closet next to the fridge rather than useless filler. Or a narrow cabinet that can hold cookie sheets, roasting pans and similar stored vertically, along with narrow shelves for dish towels or other miscellaneous as Latifolia mentioned. There are also narrow pull-out pantries you can use for that spot.

Rather than use a filler strip you can get a 6 inch wide cabinet that can hold cans, spices, etc.

First, all walls require fillers next to cabinets. Period. Walls aren’t straight and plumb. Cabinets have to be. It depends on the cabinet line and construction (framed vs frameless) how that starter filler is handled. It could be a 1/2” extended stile that gets scribed. Or it could be a 1 1/2” separate filler that gets scribed to allow clearance of any molding and accommodate the wall wonk. That starts the run off level and plumb.

All filler pullouts must have adjacent cabinet walls to attach the mechanisms to. A 6” pullout gets you 3” of space that fits exactly 1 spice bottle in depth. It must have cabinets on both sides of the filler, or you have to start adding sturdy side panels and losing even more space for 3” of storage. It also costs as much as a 30” wide cabinet for those 6” of which only 3” is usable. 10:1 pricing, You have to be desparate for inches to use pullout fillers. Wider pull out pantry type cabinets hold far more, and are usable even at the 9” exterior width, (+starter filler+ panel) with the 6” interior usable space. But they are also crazy expensive for the amount of space you get. That’s why the wider the better for pullouts. $1200 for a 9” one and $1800 for a 15” one, say go with the 15”.

This is why a plain Jane broom closet wins the race if budget issues are a concern.

Agree that storing wine near a refrigerator that generates heat is not a great solution. If you like the vertical storage idea, locate the wine strip near a tall pantry or storage cabinet instead.

Use a filler, hang the broom in the garage, if Budget is a concern. And use the space away from the refrigerator. I saved you money and I’m no KD.....
