1 . A foodstuff storage unit for a household appliance embodied to store foodstuffs, the foodstuff storage unit comprising:
 a plate-shaped foodstuff storage base forming a horizontal storage level and having a front edge; and   a bottle storage rail disposed on said front edge of said plate-shaped foodstuff storage base and is embodied to store a bottle.   
     
     
         2 . The foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 1 , wherein said bottle storage rail is separate from said plate-shaped foodstuff storage base and is disposed on said front edge in a non-destructive detachable manner by means of a connection. 
     
     
         3 . The foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 2 , wherein said connection is a plug-in connection, a snap-on connection and/or a hook-in connection. 
     
     
         4 . The foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 1 , wherein a length of said bottle storage rail dimensioned in a width direction of the foodstuff storage unit is equal to a width of said front edge, which is also dimensioned in the width direction. 
     
     
         5 . The foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 1 , wherein said bottle storage rail has a support channel formed therein into which the bottle can be placed. 
     
     
         6 . The foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 5 , wherein said bottle storage rail has at least one opening formed therein which is a ventilation slot. 
     
     
         7 . The foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 6 , wherein said ventilation slot is oriented in a width direction of the foodstuff storage unit. 
     
     
         8 . The foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 6 , wherein said ventilation slot is embodied in said support channel. 
     
     
         9 . The foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 6 , wherein said bottle storage rail has a thickening bar on an underside that delimits said ventilation slot on one side so that a delimiting wall thus formed is larger than a rest of a delimiting wall of said ventilation slot. 
     
     
         10 . The foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 6 , wherein said ventilation slot has an upper slot outlet embodied in a rear half of said support channel in a depth direction of the foodstuff storage unit. 
     
     
         11 . The foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 10 , wherein said slot outlet is embodied such that an air flow flowing therefrom flows in a direction of a front side of said bottle storage rail. 
     
     
         12 . The foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 10 , wherein said plate-shaped foodstuff storage base is an uninterrupted shelf or a storage grid. 
     
     
         13 . The foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the foodstuff storage unit is exclusively intended to be used for a storage of bottles. 
     
     
         14 . A pull-out device for a household appliance embodied to store foodstuffs on different levels, the pull-out device comprising:
 a first foodstuff storage unit on a first level, being mounted displaceably in a pull-out direction;   a second foodstuff storage unit disposed on a second level different from the first level; and   a coupling device with which movements of said first and second foodstuff storage units can be coupled and in a movement-coupled state can be pulled out together in the pull-out direction, wherein at least one of said first and second foodstuff storage units is embodied in accordance with  claim 1 .   
     
     
         15 . A household refrigerating appliance, comprising:
 a housing having at least one receiving space for foodstuffs; and   at least one foodstuff storage unit according to  claim 1  and/or a pull-out device according to  claim 14  disposed displaceably in said at least one receiving space in a depth direction of the household refrigerating appliance.
