Hey all. I'm in the market for a wine cooler that has 100-200 bottle capacity. I would prefer to have something well made, wood, not plastic, etc. Has anyone had any experience with Americave Deluxe coolers? It basically comes with a standard cabinet that you can get different options (i.e. stain, doors, shelving, etc). The shelves are included(unlike Eurocave) and it uses a standard Breezaire unit. The prices are better than Eurocave for what you get.
These are made by Wine Cellar Impressions in San Jose. Americave is the name that the distributor puts on them. I wish I had 'searched' and found out the makers name; you can get it cheaper.
I have one, been happy- but I have only had it for 4 months. I got a 620 bottle cabinet. The racking is great- all wood, fits almost all bottles (except champgne). But, I also got the bulk storage which is great for mags, champagne and .375 bottles.

Thanks for the comments. I will have to see what the total for each of the units will be. The Americaves have this 10-15% discount that they keep talking about. Not sure whats up with that.
