Most, if not all, small wine storage units seem to be sized for Bordeaux-type bottles. Can anyone recommend a good wine fridge that will accommodate German and Alsace bottles, without losing too much storage space? Also, what about half bottles (Sauternes and German)? The Eurocave looks nice, would that work well?
Thanks,

My eurocave works well for me. It has these plastic bottle holders that can slide side to side to make room for different sized bottles.
The tall skinny ones are the problems because you waste so much space vertically and in most units, the shelf heights aren’t adjustable to the degree you would want. Rhone shaped bottles can be accommodated by setting them head to tail.
The only way I’ve found to accommodate half bottles, at least in my fridge with slotted shelves, is to weave some cord through the slots to serve as a kind of net. Otherwise small bottles slip through.
And what about Magnums?
They either go on the top shelf or make like Pobega or Hack and insure they never make it to the fridge.
