wine storage options

Matt,

Only second-hand. I have two close friends, each with 2+ Vinoteques. Sizes are large, but I cannot tell you the model, or exact size. All units are more than four (4) years old, and of these, three (3) have survived moves from CA to AZ to CA and still work very well. The other two (2) units were installed in AZ and have performed very well. Unfortunately, I don't know about the humidity aspect, as the one cigar smoker, who might be very concerned about the humidity, used a controlled humidor for his stogies. The other has never commented on it, even when I pointed out the fountain in my cellar to keep the humidity up above 60% (not an easy task in sunny AZ). I buttume from the lack of comment, that he had no problems.

From my group of friends, and their ownership, I'd say that all the units that you listed are good, and it might get down to what fits into your decor, and the size that you need. Plus, there might be considerations regarding several temp zones, etc.

Let us know what you go with, and how you like it. Yours is a fairly common question, and all the info possible from a real-world experience will be appreciated by someone down the line. Also, by posting your experiences into this thread later, others can do a Google.Group Search and get the full thread to completion.
