IMO - temp is not as much as a prob these days with Stelvin caps.

It is essential to keep your plonk out of sunlight/UV and preferably in a reasonably cool spot (I use the bottom of a cupboard and in store cardboard boxes for extra insulation) and you should be ok for a couple of years cellaring.

If you are cellaring for a long haul (+3yrs) or spending BIG $$ on plonk, then spend BIG $$ on storage. Otherwise, spend the fridge money on vino and go for somewhere reasonably dark and cool and you'll be right.

Partay at Rello's!!!

EDIT: Keepin the Kilkenny nice n cold underneath all the ice Rello?

Vintek , bar fridge size

Vintech schmintech most of them come out of the same factory in china.
My personal unit is a 240ish bottle transtherm that I picked up second hand from an old dear whose hubby had passed, along with 15 lt bottles of various single malts that she had no use for. All for five hunjy.
There's no need for dual zone, just set the thermostat at 14 and 16 degrees. It only takes 5 minutes to take whites down to 12ish and reds are perfect served at 16.
I'm a wholesaler and bought 5 Vintech 36 or 40 bottle units as customer giveaways last year, only because of the public perception of vintech quality. Quality wise they're no better than some I have previously bought from Kmart for a venue I was working at for $100ish. Wholesale price from vintech was $480 ex GST, same units retail at over a grand.
If it was me I'd buy a nice big second hand fridge for a coupla hunj and have a fridgy install a thermostat that has a upper and lower cut out. End result is the same and a whole lot cheaper.
The price of wine fridges is a load of wank.

you are kidding me - is that for real ??????

dont think i want to crack the dozen Grange bottles. Will let someone who buys em off me in 10 years do that

Baba was that the grappa that went missing from the house next door??
