Wine keeps well in a regular fridge-- I've read all this stuff about
corks drying out, etc. but I've probably had a couple of dozen bottles
sitting for a year before I opened them, with no problems at all. But
if you want inexpensive storage for a couple of dozen bottles, Home
Depot has some small wine fridges, or you could buy one of the
waist-high ones they make for dorms and turn the thermostat to as warm
a setting as it has. And if that's not warm enough, at least one wine
accessary store sells a thermostat with a probe that you put in the
fridge-- the fridge plugs into the thermostat, and it cuts off the
power when the fridge gets too cold. Not the most efficient way to do
things, but a little fridge averaging 57 degrees doesn't use too much
electricity anyway.
