Do I have to have a special wine refrigerator?
I am having this wine refrigerator built into my cabinets under the countertop. So the bottom line is that it will only be open on the front side. Do I need a special one for this and do you have any recommendations for something that will hold 30-50 bottles? If you have a great website for research that would be great too. Thanks.
I am going to buy a wine refrigerator. I just want to know if I need a special one to go under the counter/in the cabinets if the only "open" area is the front.

They do have wine refrigerators made especially as a built in.
Wine refrigerators are an important investment for the serious wine collector. Ideal temperatures for storing wine are between 50-55 degrees F with humidity at 70 degrees or slightly higher. The higher humidity helps keep the corks moist and reduces evaporation of the wine. Regular refrigerators are cooler than this and have lower humidity that will dry the corks and cause wine evaporation.
Take a look at the refrigerators at this site and from there:

No, 30-50 bottles under your cabinet? U’s musta got u’s a really tall cabinet. Ur whine in a box don’t need no frig-a-dare. Nothing worse than a whine geek.
