[quoteBy the way, I think these three Lonely Island songs for SNL (Dick in a box, mother lover, three way) are the funniest things they’ve put out in two decades. Justin Timberlake is sensational.][/quote] Word Up! Agree. 
The average velocity of the molecules in wine at room temperature is around 500 meters per second. The vibration has a negligible impact on the average kinetic energy, you’d affect it more with a tiny increase in the temperature. Oh, and if the vibration was increasing the kinetic energy of the wine molecules, it would manifest itself by an increase in temperature. That explanation is plain silly.

That was it! I am sorry for not responding. It was figured out, then life kept us busy and I haven’t been on many forums lately. Honestly, embarrassment probably played a part in it, too. lol!
I took a couple of weeks to experiment between freshly purchased wine and the wine coming out of the cooler. You and others were correct. We were pulling them out of the cooler, pulling the cork, and drinking them relatively soon thereafter. They were noticeably different than the wine from the store.
Long story longer, I started pulling the bottles from the wine fridge and setting them on the counter for about an hour before we were going to open them. That solved our problem. Everything was back to normal. The good news is that we only threw away a few hundred $$ of wine. Could’ve been much worse. AAaannd, I am glad I didn’t open any of the good stuff - as I was tempted to do, but the wife talked me out of it.
Thank you (and many others) for your help!
How cold is your cooler? I have never had this experience drinking wines straight out of a cooler.
OP says 47.8-59 degrees. I’ve had many reds that don’t show well right out of the cellar at 55-57.
While this is happening really fast, it does remind me that there was a time where I had a perfectly stored bottle of Bergstrom from 2006 that smelled like the tropicana coconut tanning oil…so much we were all laughing rather than crying. I too wonder about how the wines taste if you put one in the fridge and just leave another on the counter. I would certainly be bringing in a bottle or 3 to the local wine store to get some other local perspectives on this.
