Wine cooling,Need to know if it is in your garage and works ok? Want to know if the capacity is 182 or less? How loud is it? thanks!
I live in San Diego so it doesnt get too cold or too hot and Im by the beach. I need to put this in my garage.
Does anyone have the Vinotemp 182 capacity wine cooler? I need some information on how good it is?

You can’t keep it in an unheated garage if you get cold winters where you are, and they will only hold 182 bottles if all your bottles are 750ml and standard shape. That is, traditional champagne bottles (and other wines with bottles that shape, like Turley Zinfandel) will reduce your capacity. Plus, that only allows for maybe 5 shelves with every bottle stacked up on top of the others 6 or 8 bottles deep, which is very awkward. I’d count on maybe 10 cases, the most, for all practical purposes. They are not loud; more like a hum.
EDIT: It will be fine in a SanDiego garage, though the salt air may shorten it’s lifespan.
