wine cellar/refridgerator

[hotwine]

CG, I HAD to buy the EuroCave 260 w/ "extreme" option because it was to be placed in the garage, where summer temps can hit 90 or so. If your unit will be kept in an air conditioned space, where the unit's environment has a temp no higher than 75F, you have more options than I had. But keep in mind that most wine fridges can handle a temp differential (between its environment and its target temp) of no more than 20F; and they exhaust heat. As I remember Sacramento in the early '70's, it can get mighty hot there.... a lot like this area of S. Texas.<P>Just checked conditions in my little 34-btl Haier in the laundry room and they show 61F and 72% RH. Moved the instrument to the EuroCave and will post those figs shortly.
