I am not a wine connoisseur but I am willing to broaden my horizons. I have a 4 bottle wine rack. I would like to know what different types of wines would be best for various dinners and occasions? What inexpensive brands are best for acquiring a better taste for different wines?
I just bought an Oster 12 bottle wine "cellar" on Ebay for . It was listed as "new". When it came it was all banged up & the drip tray was cracked to the point that it won’t be useful. But it was 1/2 the retail price. My first thought was to send it back. But what a hassle! So my question is what do you think? Are the problems with this unit inconsequential? Or are they serious enuf that I shouldn’t mess with this thing?
It is dented @ the top left rear metal cage, behind the electrical elements. And it’s also kicked in at the bottom. As I said, the drip tray is badly cracked.
So what do you think? Spend the $ to send it back? I think the seller will reimburse me 1/2 of that if he keeps his word. But he hasn’t returned any of my emails in a long time - even tho he asked me to email him photos of the damage.
Most importantly, is this thing a safety hazard?
It’s hot & my wines are in need of shelter. What do you think? Get another one? Or "Just Chill"?

I am currently in Spain. I found a wine I really really like and I would like to bring it back to the US for my family and friends to try. On a website about US customs limits, they say you can bring 1 US Quart back to the US without duties to be paid.
How many bottles does this equal? What size bottle of wine would be best?
By the way the type of wine I want to buy comes in two Bordeaux type Bottle Wine Case of 0.75 liters.
Should I keep this wine refrigerator?

Update - Not only is the seller not returning my e-mails, but he is no longer registered with Ebay.
Oh well. Hope the darn thing works
I have a 24 bottle wine fridge, and I plan on storing some of the bottles I've acquired for a long time, 10 years or more. As long as I keep it plugged in and set at around 51-50 degrees, is there any forseeable problems from using it versus a real wine cellar?
anyone know how to come by information on winemakers who will make and bottle wine for you for a project?
