  • As the support leg of the bottle rack stacked above may be at least partially inserted into the accommodating space extending downwards from the upper surface of the receiving housing, this helps to make the bottle rack stably supported above the bottle rack having the accommodating space. Thus, the user may longitudinally store a bottle in a groove of the bottle rack stacked above, which facilitates the user to more flexibly use the bottle rack and may improve space utilization of the refrigerator. For example, when it is only necessary to use some bottle racks to store bottles, some unused bottle racks may be stacked to save the space.
  • Each bottle rack may have one or more grooves to respectively place wine bottles. Each bottle rack may have the same number of grooves, or may have the different number of grooves, for example, one or some bottle racks have a groove, while other bottle racks may have two or more grooves.
  • In addition, "a plurality of bottle racks" herein should cover two or more bottle racks.
  • Preferably, the accommodating space may include a through hole penetrating the receiving housing. In a preferred embodiment, the accommodating space also may be formed by a concave portion, which is recessed downwards, of the receiving housing. The through hole has the advantage that material can be saved.
