Reminds me. In the process of doing some addition on the manse, we're going to be in need of a temperature controlled unit for wine (since the space now devoted to wine cellar will be heated). But, can't find a single unit that can hold in the 5-6 case range without prohibitive cost (prohibitive means about $1,200 or so, which is what it will take to set up a space as a separate zone). Seems like the choice is a little unit that holds a couple of cases or temperature control a whole room, with little in between that makes sense.
Has anyone looked into this before?

We looked at every wine type device on the planet - in stores and on the internet. It made sense for us to get the SubZero - granted, it only holds 2 cases, but was totally worth the money.
You could consider this, the SubZ will hold your more precious bottles at perfect temp and humidity with low vibration. And you can keep the not-so-precious bottles in a cooler portion of the house since you'll be drinking those more often in theory (plus a couple in the SubZ so you'll never be without a perfectly chilled bottle for spur of the moment binging).
But dude, really, when you're talking 5-6 cases, think of the investment $$ wise. Do you really want to taint that much wine with anything less than the best? Think about it. It's really less for the fridge than for the wine at that point. And you'll never say "damn, I shoulda got the better fridge."
