I am looking for a beverage cooler that can be integrated as an under-counter unit, for example, in a kitchen island. The typical models are wine refrigerators, where bottles can only be stored lying down. However, we actually want to store mostly other drinks upright — beer, soft drinks (with a height fitting 0.5 liter PET bottles), prosecco, and opened wine bottles. If the cooler has two temperature zones, it would be useful to have the cooler zone for the upright drinks and use the warmer zone for red wines. A glass door and quiet operation would be a plus.

I have also looked for beverage drawers but only found ones from the commercial sector that are not ideal in terms of aesthetics, noise level, or energy efficiency. The only exception is the CoolDrawer cooling drawer from Fisher & Paykel, but it is not available in Switzerland...

Or should I just use a wine refrigerator and remove a few shelves to store bottles upright?
