I have modest ambitions. Every now and again, I buy a case of local wine that I like. Almost all reds. Not expensive wine - usually $25-30 a bottle stuff -but worth storing adequately.
I don't drink wine that often, so the last bottles of each case might be drunk in 5 or 10 years. I still have some 1999 bottles around here. So, I'm looking for a practical sort of storage solution, to keep things organized and be attractive, as much as to "age" the wine. To be honest, I am not enough of a wine enthusiast to select and improve wine by aging it. I simply would like my stashed wine to not deteriorate.
There are some good deals on good wines out there. Restaurant business is down, so demand for wine is down.

John, that Tair is fine.
My problem with the coolers is that the wine bottles are always getting some vibration as the unit runs. Besides, they cost money.
What wines are your planning to store & for how long?
or. Pinot ofr 5 years is way different from 1st Growth Bordeaux for 50...
