This wine cooler looks nice and the shelves feel sturdy, but truthfully, you get what you pay for.  There is no internal thermostat to control the temperature.  There is a dial in the back of the unit that only controls how often the fridge clicks on and that isn't determined by interior temp.  That being said, this fridge really isn't made for storage of red wine. The highest temp I can get get is 53 degrees Fahrenheit. And that's on the top couple of shelves.  There  is about a 5-7 degree difference between the top and bottom of the fridge.  So, I suppose if you're looking for a dual zone unit and only have 8 bottles of red to store, this could theoretically work out.  I should have trusted other negative reviews I'd seen but the price was too good to pass up.  I'll find use for it with white wine someday but overall I'm pretty disappointed.
