My wife and I went to Burgundy, France this past fall. We purchased around 40 bottles of wine that are being shipped to us in October. We currently have 2 wine fridges (one is a 6 bottle capacity for some whites and the other is a 30ish bottle capacity). They are both full.
We are trying to find a large fridge to hold our bottles, as well as some others we have not refrigerated currently.
I considered going with the Wine Enthusiast Classic L-150, but see mixed reviews. I've searched wine sites, wayfair, amazon, etc. and it seems there are a large variety of large fridges (over 100 bottle capacity), but seriously mixed reviews.
A couple considerations:
1) Don't want to be spending over $2,000 (ideally $1500 or less)
2) Would like at least 100 bottle capacity
3) Concerned as a lot of these fridges seemed to be designed for Bordeaux style wines and we have plenty of California reds, the Burgundy reds arriving, etc. So I am concerned we will run into issues of shelves getting stuck, etc. These are really for our personal consumption, and not to flip/sell, so some label damage is not the end of the world.
Has anyone made a large wine fridge purchase in the last couple of years, and if so, do you have any recommendations? Thanks!
