Hey there

I have sabed some money and I am looking for a wine cooler with a capacity of 200 bottles. I have looked at the brand Eurocave, I really like the design and I heard that they function very well.

Do you guys have any other recomendations?

Thanks for your help

I have several coolers and had a Eurocave a few years ago and loved it (sold it when I moved) I have bought my recent ones on Craigslist for about half the price of new...

I also have had a Eurocave for almost 10 years, a smaller one for about 120 bottles, it is fantastic.

I recommend you invite us over and we'll simplify your problem of finding a 200 bottle cooler into finding a 100 bottle cooler.

I, too, recommend a Eurocave. I've owned a Vieillitheque 264 for about 18-months, and I highly recommend the model. I bought mine at an auction for about $150 and have had no problems, even though the unit is a bit over 10 years old. For most Eurocaves, you'll have to invest in the appropriate shelving in order to fit the maximum number of bottles. Models advertised as 250 bottles hold that many only when you're judicious with your use of long-term storage shelving, which are an absolute pain to use if you want to access much of your cellar regularly. In contrast, you'll be stuck with much closer to half the advertised storage if you use all pull-out shelving. All in all, it's probably best to expect more realistic storage of around 150-200 bottles.

That said, a lot depends on your space, budget, and mobility. You can DIY pretty much any closet into a highly functional wine cellar for much less than the cost of a Eurocave, and usually with enhancements (e.g., more bottle space, no vibration, etc.) If you're committed to a mobile unit and have the space, you can save yourself a lot of money and get a better cellar by looking for a Breezaire or Vinotheque wardrobe-style cellar. Now these are much bigger than most Eurocaves, but if you have the space, they really are the better option. They're easier and cheaper to repair, have more storage, and use condensers that don't shake the units the same way that Eurocave condensers do, which is supposed to correlate with better storage. That said, the point about condensers is obviously contentious and probably relevant only for the longest term storage.
