Bought it for $60. It is a Eurocave V256 Wine aging cabinet manufactured in 2000.
I think these retail for $1500-$2000 new and $400+ for this model used.
It is in terrific shape for an older model!:try

I had to drive an hour each way but the drive was well worth it.

Anybody else have anything similar? How are these units?

Glad to hear it was still available. For a wine fridge you can't find a better brand.
This was the brand I was going to get, until I moved and have a space I'm converting into a walk in wine cellar.

Thats great you can do an actual cellar.
I would love to but have a small place and no basement.
 
Eurocave V-256 Questions - please help!

I am considering buying a used Eurocave V-256 manufactured in 2000, and I had some questions. The last post I saw on this forum was dated 2012, so that post is already 5 years old.

I was hoping the person who bought that unit for $ 60 is still active on the site, and can let me know how the unit is doing for them, and if it's still working well. The one I am considering buying was also manufactured in 2000, so now it's already 17 years old, so I am a little concerned about the age and how much shelf life remains on this unit. I cannot afford to buy something that will go out in a couple of years.

I also had a question about the capacity. The person selling it says it holds 160 bottles, but to me, the capacity visually looks a lot less, like maybe 120 bottles. It only has a about 6 shelves, so it looks like on some of the shelves, the bottles are supposed to be stacked on top of each other. I need one that holds at least 150-160 bottles, and can't go down to a lower capacity.


If either the person who made the original post, of anyone who has knowledge of this model can answer, I would really appreciate it. I went out to look at it this weekend, and I need to let the guy know ASAP if I want to buy it, or he might sell it to someone else.

Thanks!
