Thanks for the feedback. A couple of follow-up questions -I used Cellarstak in my previous cellar.
Pros:
Flexibility of shapes are good
Easy enough to assemble
Cons:
My hands hurt by the end of the process
No visibility of labels (need to take the bottle out to check)
1. Probably not. This is more of a desire to be able to see the bottle labels without having to pull the bottle out.Thanks for the feedback. A couple of follow-up questions -
1. Would you use them again?
2. Why didn't you use the in your current cellar?
3. Why did your hands hurt (I'm assuming during assembly) as they do recommend using a rubber mallet when assembling?
TIA
1. Probably not. This is more of a desire to be able to see the bottle labels without having to pull the bottle out.
2. My new cellar is a work in progress (not much progress at this point!) I'm likely to use mesh style racks instead.
3. I think I had a 600 bottle cellar last time. Even with the rubber mallet, hammering arms into each of the front and back pieces was time consuming and exhausting.
I'd need a lackey to write all the labels out for me thoughI can highly recommend using something like this to solve problem 1. 100 Wine ID tags, Vin Tags 2 packs of 50 wine bottle tags. 680569507020 | eBay

I store my wine in original (or consolidate them) in boxes. Label the box if there’s a mix and note qty of each.You can easily cut down the number. If I have multiple bottles of the same wine and vintage, I'll only label one but place them together in the racking.
Does that include a barcode reader function?Or use an app like cellar tracker to record locations e.g. A1, A2
That would require some degree of organisation and the enthusiasm just isn't there - I'll just have to live with my disorganisation.Or use an app like cellar tracker to record locations e.g. A1, A2
I believe so, but I've never used to.Does that include a barcode reader function?
I’ve used “Uncorked Cellar” for years but have not used the barcode function. It would be great to scan one of my cases and see on my phone what’s supposed to be inside without disturbing the box.
Uncorked has the rack/location/tag system - but I’ve not tried to use it in anger. I get by by sorting wine by region, winery, variety etcI believe so, but I've never used to.
The method I use, is CellarTracker has location (which for me is vertical rack number) and then the tags. I can find a bottle generally in under 10 seconds based on this.
Starting from scratch, it would be a PITA. Once all setup, it's just a matter of maintaining order.
My wine fridge has 8 shelves so I do similar on Cellar Tracker. Locations are simply Shelf 1, Shelf 2 and so on.I believe so, but I've never used to.

I hope that your good 'find' works out.I stumbled upon a Husky Vino Pro 168 bottle wine fridge being given away for free on Facebook marketplace over the weekend. I got in touch with the seller within a few hours of it being listed, who explained that it was dropped on its side while being delivered new from the store. The store was in the process of delivering a new one to her, and they did not want the 'old' one back. The hinges that connect the door to the body were damaged and therefore the door was no longer attached, pretty comical! But other than that, it was powering up okay.
Took a gamble, and had an Airtasker removalist collect it this morning and drop it off at my place. Replacement hinges ordered so that we can re-attach the door, and then need to power it up and pray that it cools. Fingers crossed!
It's dual zone, with temperatures of 5 to 12°C (Upper) 12 to 18°C (Lower), which I find a little strange. Is it okay to store reds (shiraz and cabernet mainly) at 12°C? I would have thought ~14°C would be more appropriate, but would be a shame to give up half the fridge as I don't have too many whites.
Time to buy some whites then I guess.I hope that your good 'find' works out.
12 far too low for reds. Mine are at 15/16.

I'm with youI'm going to respectfully disagree. 12 is fine for reds. They'll just age more slowly. You're not going to "damage" the wine.
