Finished a conversion of an unused closet into a wine cellar. This project took about 1 month. I recycled a 3 Cu.ft refrigerator for the cooling unit. Actually, I used two. The first one, made in China, did not survive the transplant. The second unit, made in Mexico, works superbly. The cellar is maintained at 65F with minimal power consumption. If anyone is interested in a similar conversion, let me know and I will share info.
Pictures are of the cooling unit in the adjacent garage, and the cellar. Materials are mahogany walls and shelving, ceramic floor, and tin roof. Insullation was 1/8" foam and vapor barrier over gyproc. Insullation could have been improved by re&re the gyproc, but that was too much for this project.
