You are right, I will change it.
I'm not so sure about me being right, I did say my ideas were half baked
. I'm sure you've thought about it more than me.If the large storage unit with the wine is actually a pantry, then swapping it with the refrigerator might just be swapping one problem for another. Plus it might affect the proportionality. In my kitchen the refrigerator and a narrow pantry cupboard are right beside each other, which is a bit of a compromise, when using the fridge, the landing area is not immediately adjacent, but a width of the pantry away, which is kind of OK, but definitely a compromise.
Another thought, it's hard to tell, but have you checked the spacing around the island, according the a google:
What is the minimum walking space in a kitchen?
36 inches wide
Passageways through the kitchen should be at least 36 inches wide (or desirably larger if you're building an open floor plan kitchen). In work areas, walkways should be at least 42 inches wide for one cook or 48 inches for multiple cooks.
