“This is an excellent storage cooler for the money. It does not handle 200 bottles from a conventional sense, but would hold that many small-standard Bordeaux bottles. You want to buy larger than stated, so if you need storage for 120-180 or so, this is a good choice. Super easy to use, very stable cooling, looks great and well built. This is a single zone and that is actually what you want. Storage temps and drinking temps are two different things. Both reds and whites do well around 55 degrees. Often over time, two zone coolers tend to bleed together and ultimately create one hybrid mixed zone. And again, that is not needed for storage. If you want a colder drinking Riesling or champagne, pop it in the fridge for 5 minutes or have an on-hand service ice bucket.”

“Of course there will be variation in capacity based on bottle type. That's completely understandable. The problem is it isn't just the bottle size that causes issues; it's also the interior dimensions and the shelf type. The wire grid in the shelf does not allow bottles to sit all the way to the edge of the shelf, regardless of bottle type. If it did, one could probably fit an extra bottle in the gap it would fill. With the two-deep, double-stack setup (which I'm not a fan of either since different bottle types don't stack easily), that's another four bottles that could fit per shelf. If you set bottles all the way against the interior wall to make up for the wasted space from the wire grid alignment, then you block the shelf from being able to be pulled out. Also, it's very tall and narrow, so the back of the top shelf cannot be accessed without a step stool. We love our EuroCave. It's a little shorter and wider and the adjustable-slats shelf system works great. We most likely will not purchase another Wine Enthusiast.”

“While it does not actually hold 200 bottles due to the fact that many wine bottles are not in the shape of standard Bordeaux bottles, I knew that going in and was not surprised. Mine did easily fit about 150 mixed bottles and looks and performs great. I keep the wines I plan to keep for at least 5 years in here.”

“It arrived intact, no problems. During operation found sensors both off about 4 degrees.”

“Pretty incredible, especially for the price. I have a sub zero 150-200 bottle that I filled. Was way more expensive. This is just as quite and can hold potentially more. I have the bottom filled with 8 magnums. To give it more space, I removed some of the shelves. Seems to hold 3 layers of bottles pretty easy per shelf if you remove them. I removed 3 shelves and have 8 if you include the bottom for magnums. Temperature is set a 54 and holds between 54 and 56. Everyone seems to love the look”

“So far, so good. The only issue that I have noticed is that the metal brackets supporting the shelves rub against the gaskets on the door when the shelves are pulled out.”
