Wine Cellar Cooling Unit = Air Conditioning for Your Favorite Vintages
If you're building a wine cellar in the basement, the fact that it's underground may not be enough to keep your bottles cool enough, especially in hot climates. And if you live somewhere that basements aren't popular and your wine cellar is above ground, then cooling becomes even more important (don't worry; we'll still let you call your storage room a wine "cellar").
You can spend thousands of dollars buying special wine cellar cooling units (AKA air conditioning for your booze), but if you don't have a huge space that you need to work with, you can find a decent unit in the hundreds of dollars.
The Breezaire WK-1060 is perfect for cooling a room up to 140 square feet. Just set the desired temperature, and rest easy knowing your wines are being properly cared for. You will want to make sure your wine cellar is sufficiently insulated for maximum efficiency.
Some extra features you can get for the Breezaire cooling unit are digital temperature controls and "bottle probes" which will actually set the temperature based on the liquid itself.
$645 gets you the base unit from the Wine Enthusiast:
