Something bigger than under counter. Seem to be a lot of bad ones out there.

They are all pretty cheaply made and almost no one works on them if they break. So even if it's a $40 part that fails they are often tossed out.

I bought a JennAire Professional line beverage center. It's two zone so you can do reds and whites and beers too. It's been great. Bonus. It has a motion sensor and floor level LED's so it lights up the kitchen floor when you walk in at night.

Funny you brought this up. Mine is shot. Believe it needs a new relay to the condenser.

We are putting the one on the right in our new house. It is a sub-zero. I like the refrigerated drawers below, and it holds about 50 bottles of wine, with separate temperature settings for red and white sections.

I’ve had them in the past, but honestly just get a regular small fridge and use it for whatever. Follow the 30 minute rule…take whites out 30 minutes before you drink, put reds in 30 minutes before. The whites will warm enough and the reds will chill just slightly to cellar temps.

I used to work at a high end restaurant and the wine guy recommended this. I can’t spell the S word but he was certified. Most people aren’t drinking $300 bottles of wine at their house to warrant a perfect temperature.

I have the subzero on the right.

Best Wine fridge I’ve seen. No complaints after 5 years.

I’m in the market for 150-175 bottle one (sick of paying for offsite).

Looking at this one: LINK

Anything you want chilled would be fine in a wine fridge. Wine, water,soda, beer, etc.

I was looking at the Eurocave but they are expensive. I may pull the trigger in December because they usually go on sale at the end of the year. Was hoping to find a cheaper alternative. Looking for a 200 bottle frige.

We’ve bought from Vinotemp and have been pleased. At one time we had 4-144 bottle wine fridges from them. Once the youngest moved out of the house I finally took half of his bedroom and made our cellar.

Wife and I have been considering one, but it's not for the perfect temperature, as we likewise just manipulate fridge timing. It's because we tend to hold onto at least some bottles for years, so keeping them cooler (but not fridge cold) would guard against some premature aging.
