Hello,
I'm wondering if this is a load-bearing interior wall. The house has two floors.
The images below are of the wall that is to be removed, (not the short side with the wine rack)
This picture is drilled in the corner to see how the laminate beam in the ceiling runs. It ends in the wall where the wine rack is. It seems to rest on a 45x45 stud. Therefore, I'm leaving the short side with the wine rack intact.
Here, I've drilled a new hole to see how the studs in the interior wall are.
As far as I can see, it seems to be a load-bearing wall partly because the beam goes into it, so then the floor joists cross that beam, making it load-bearing.
Is the last part load-bearing even though the beam is not in the wall? It ends where I'm pointing.
The house's roof joists run in the same direction as the beam. It feels so strange!

The house's roof trusses go in the same direction as the beam. It feels so strange!
Aah is this on the second floor?
But there is a bearing beam in the wall as far as I can see, yes the beams usually go only a little way into the walls and then you make the wall load-bearing with notched posts that carry a beam..
But strange if the rafters don't go across/crosswise to that beam..

It's on the first floor. I have now added pictures to the drawing. If that helps haha
I would say that the entire wall section is load-bearing based on the information you provided. The floor structure in the living room spans in the length direction of the house, making the beam and stud wall load-bearing.
Edit: If you have construction drawings available, I can give you a definitive answer.
