1. A refrigerator comprising: a cabinet;a liner disposed within the cabinet and defining an interior fresh food compartment;a shelf mounted within the fresh food compartment;a wine rack rotatably mounted within the fresh food compartment, the wine rack comprising: a substantially planar plate having a first end and a second end with at least one aperture sized to receive a neck portion of a bottle to hold the bottle substantially horizontally in a cantilever fashion; anda pair of attachment elements disposed on the first end and the second end of the substantially planar plate to support the substantially planar plate and configured to secure the substantially planar plate to the refrigerator, wherein the pair of attachment elements is configured to allow the substantially planar plate to rotate between a first position, where the wine rack is stowed beneath the shelf, and a second position, where the wine rack is capable of holding a bottle with a neck portion of the bottle being received in the at least one aperture. 2. The refrigerator of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of shelf ladders secured to the cabinet, and said shelf is configured to removably attach to one or more of the plurality of shelf ladders. 3. The refrigerator of claim 2, wherein the angle between the wine rack and the shelf is between 45 and 90 degrees when the substantially planar plate is in the second position. 4. The refrigerator of claim 2, wherein the pair of attachment elements are configured to rest on a rear portion of the shelf and hold the substantially planar plate below the shelf. 5. The refrigerator of claim 4, wherein the pair of attachment elements further comprise a hinge element configured to allow the substantially planar plate to rotate between the first position and the second position. 6. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the liner further comprises a pair of upper liner grommets defining an axis of rotation of the substantially planar plate, and a pair of lower liner grommets defining the first position for the substantially planar plate. 7. The refrigerator of claim 6, wherein the liner further comprises a second pair of lower liner grommets further defining the second position for the substantially planar plate. 8. The refrigerator of claim 6, wherein the pair of attachment elements further comprise a pair of upper pins corresponding to the upper liner grommets, and a pair of lower pins corresponding to the lower liner grommets. 9. The refrigerator of claim 7, wherein the pair of attachment elements further comprise a pair of upper pins corresponding to the upper liner grommets, and a pair of lower spring pins corresponding to the lower liner grommets, wherein the lower spring pins are configured to hold the substantially planar plate in one of the first and second position. 10. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the pair of attachment elements constitutes a pair of brackets. 11. The refrigerator of claim 10, wherein the pair of brackets further comprise a hinge element configured to allow the substantially planar plate to rotate between the first position and the second position. 12. The refrigerator of claim 10, wherein the liner further comprises a pair of upper liner grommets defining an axis of rotation of the substantially planar plate, and a pair of lower liner grommets defining the first position for the substantially planar plate. 13. The refrigerator of claim 12, wherein the liner further comprises a second pair of lower liner grommets further defining the second position for the substantially planar plate, and wherein the pair of brackets further comprises a pair of upper pins corresponding to the upper liner grommets, and a pair of lower spring pins corresponding to the lower liner grommets, wherein the lower spring pins are configured to hold the substantially planar plate in one of the first and second position. 14. The refrigerator of claim 12, wherein the pair of brackets further comprises a pair of upper pins corresponding to the upper liner grommets, and a pair of lower pins corresponding to the lower liner grommets. 15. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the pair of attachment elements constitutes a pair of brackets, wherein the pair of brackets is configured with an upper portion to rest on a top face of said shelf and a lower portion coupled to the first end and second end of the substantially planar plate. 16. The refrigerator of claim 15, wherein the wine rack further comprises a pair of pins and the brackets further comprise a hole corresponding to the pair of pins, wherein the pair of pins and holes are sized to hold the wine rack in one of the first position and the second position. 17. The refrigerator of claim 1, wherein the substantially planar plate is: rotatable relative to the pair of attachment elements; orrotatable about the pair of attachment elements. 18. The refrigerator of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of shelves mounted at spaced locations within the fresh food compartment and including planar portions configured to support food items, wherein the wine rack is separate and distinct from each of the planar portions.
