Benefits of technology

[0012]Further, it is a second object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator that can control a storage temperature depending on the kind of stored wine.
[0013]Further, it is a third object of the present invention to provide a refrigerator that can protect wine from vibration which may be generated while operating the refrigerator.

Problems solved by technology

However, according to the refrigerator in the related art, since storage temperature environments appropriate for various stored goods are not satisfied, the storing condition of some stored goods are deteriorated.
In particular, in the case where a stored good sensitive to the storage temperature, such as wine is kept in the refrigerator, the taste and aroma of wine are deteriorated due to even a small difference in temperature.
Meanwhile, wine is sensitive to vibration.
Therefore, when a wine bottle is shaken, aging of wine is promoted, thereby deteriorating the quality of wine.
According to the refrigerator in the related art, when the refrigerator is vibrated due to closing the door of the refrigerator in the state where the wine bottle is kept in the refrigerator, wine is shaken, thereby deteriorating the quality.
