OK, how much light does something get inside a fridge?
Let assume the average fridge is open 5-10 minutes a day. OK, even on upper end (10 minutes) , and assuming the wine is on top shelf with unobstructed light, I assume the light is no more than the average retail store. So in 2 years you'd get about the same amount of light as say 10 days in a lit retail environment.
Unless I'm missing something (which is possible, I even posted on this thread without realizing I was signed into wife's google account).
