Kimberly Barney on May 02, 2013I understand that your family are not wine drinkers so you see no need in having the wine frig. However, to use it simply for storage seems such a waste since it is a frig afterall. The wine frig can be used to hold water bottles, soda pops, snacks for the children. It could be used as their frig with fruit, Kool-Aid, etc.. The children are small now but when they get to be teens you may be thankful you have a small frig for them to have their drinks in.Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on May 02, 2013Wine fridges differ from regular fridges in a few ways. The most important being humidity levels. Wine fridges cool but keep the humidity higher, they also tend to run warmer, or even have dual zones...red vs white wine. Another feature is vibration control which is bad for wine. These higher end unit may also have UV protection in the glass door. If this unit of your is a higher end model you could remove it and sell it http://www.wineenthusiast.com/eurocave-performance-59-built-in-wine-cellar.asp if however it is a basic model like this http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/202677075?productId=202677075&storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&ci_sku=202677075&cm_mmc=shopping-_-googleads-_-pla-_-202677075&ci_gpa=pla#.UYKPE6LP3VE load it up with fruit drinks and soda for the kiddies. My brother is a wine fan and has a pretty god size cellar at his home. He has some where near 800 bottles or so..proper storage is key for quality.Helpful Reply
