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

Now I’m starting to understand what people want with these pantries. 1-2 crates of beverages
Bucket of potatoes
Homemade jam
Hand supply of canned goods
Bread box
Bread maker
Ice cream machine
Various baking utensils (bowls, small dishes, molds) on the top shelf
Box of sweets
It’s somewhat designed as a replacement for a refrigerated kitchen cabinet.
No, a few things ALWAYS have to be available: frozen pizza and ice cream,
Flens Fassbrause rhubarb, medium sparkling water, diet Coke, hohes C juice. We don’t drink beer.
Tulip canned ham, Meica sausages, Maggi ravioli.
In the fridge, a proper selection of yogurt, semolina pudding, and quark.
Dan Cake tiger roll and Thy Snitter and Giflar.
That’s roughly the basic stock that always needs to be kept on hand.

Fummelbrett, do you ever have fresh food at your place? If so, you would usually shop at least once a week. So why do you stockpile such large amounts?Sugar – I mainly need it for making jam, preserving compote, and sweet-and-sour vegetables. Flour is mainly used for baking bread.
Fresh produce? I buy it very rarely. Our meal plan often depends on what’s currently growing in the garden. Lettuce is available practically year-round; everything else is either seasonal fresh or frozen, stored, or preserved. At the moment, I only need to buy garlic, ginger, and lemons. But those items last a long time. Meat is ordered in larger quantities from the butcher, portioned, and frozen. As I said, I don’t like shopping very much. But everyone has to decide that for themselves – and realistically assess their need for storage space.
