Wine Coolerdors

[MCM]

I have been searching online pretty much every day for the last couple of weeks with no luck. Did fine one at my local Target the other day. Not sure why I didn't pull the trigger then. Guess I'm too cheap and looking for a better deal.

[DoubleTrouble]

I got the 28 bottle vinotemp about three weeks ago. I bought four 4" x 36" spanish cedar boards and cut them to make four shelves. 2 pounds of heartfelt beads. I put the beads in an aluminum cookie pan I bought at the local grocery store $2 and put it on the bottom of the cooler so that I could get maximum exposure. I have the venotemp sitting on top of a dual temp wine cooler, they look great stacked and is basically maintenance free. $199 for the venotemp, $40 for the spanish cedar, $55 for the beads and $18 for a round hygrometer that I can calibrate.
Works great and by stacking the two units the vinotemp is at eye level, easy to see to make your selection of smoke!

Good luck with it!!

Target's online store is out of stock.

Vinocool has them for $119 and will ship to the states. I'm still waiting on a shipping quote, however.

I use two Frigidaire 35 bottle winadors from Lowes.
They are not thermoelectric, they are compressor driven and use the entire back of the unit as the evaporator.
Using fans trained on the back of the unit, they work fabulously and create no condensate whatsoever.
200 bucks.

I have the same one... for my wine!!!

Lowes has a pretty good price for these.

Update on Vinocool:

They will not ship the 28T long distance because it's so light & gets damaged very easily.

I did, however, find a silver one at my local Target.

I have a vinotemp with three eight ounce sticks of Shilala beads, and IMHO that is a combination that is hard to beat.
