The racks were bought on-line. Probably could have rigged something cheaper, but I like the look.
I don't have a temperature controller...yet. I am waiting to see what the range of temperatures is from season to season. Winter '08-'09 the temps were at 60 deg. Summer '09 temps went up to 66 deg (max-temp). This winter its been around 62. I'm more concerned about temp variance as opposed to reaching the 55 deg mark. I still have some renovations to complete in the basement, so we'll see where the temps settle out at. RIght now, I'm happy with temp.
What do I have in there now?
about 80 bottles of store bought wines
~28 bottles of Mosti Mondiale Sauvignon Blanc All-Juice from this summer
5 gal. carboy of Merlot
4 - 1 gal. carboys of mead
About 120 empty bottles waiting for more wine.
Thanks for the comments everyone..
