ᐅ Drink crates and bottles? Where do you usually store them in your home?

Hello everyone,
We are currently planning our floor plan and are trying to decide whether to include a pantry or not. So far, we have a storage room where we also keep most of our beverages and food supplies. Our second refrigerator is also located there. We find this very practical and would like to keep it that way in the house.
However, it’s not easy to integrate a proper pantry into the floor plan. We have concerns about the utility room because of the heat. It’s probably warmer there than in the rest of the house due to the equipment. That would likely make it less suitable for storing drinks and the refrigerator. We also considered partitioning part of the utility room with a wall to create a pantry. This would fit well in the floor plan, but we wonder if a wall would really keep the separated pantry cool, or if it would just get as warm as the utility room.
How do you manage all your beverage crates and bottles? Where do you store them?
Best regards
Herr Stein

Modern appliances do not emit as much heat as older ones. In our utility room, it is only slightly warmer (less than 1°C (2°F)) than in the other rooms.

I couldn’t do without a pantry. I already get anxious when I have only 5 packets of sugar or 5 packets of flour left. I just don’t enjoy shopping; sometimes I don’t go for a whole month.
Drinks are always tricky because they take up quite a bit of space. A lot of room is needed – at least 6 cases of water, plus a case each of cola, lemonade, light beer, and wheat beer. Plus juices and wine. Personally, I wouldn’t want to store all of that in the utility room – so if I were you, I would separate a room specifically for food and drinks, depending on how much you want to store. As for temperature, I wouldn’t worry too much as long as there isn’t a south-facing window in that space.

How about the humidity? Our washing machine and dryer will probably be placed in the utility room as well...
