Great concept but executed poorly Oct 26, 2008
We received this wine cellar as a wedding gift. It was the perfect size for us to keep our small, but expensive wine collection at the proper temperature (we live in SW Florida). The first unit worked for about 6 months before it quit working. I exchanged it at Williams Sonoma and after about 11 months, the temperature setting will not go below 68 degrees. It has been on our counter top and has had room to breathe in a house that ranges from 70-75 degrees year round.
Williams Sonoma no longer carries the exact unit and is willing to give us 79.99 store credit (which is enough to purchase a can opener at best!). So, I called cusinart and they are now sending us the newer version (CWC 1200). Having read plenty of reviews, I anticipate having the same issues but because I am stubborn and want a simple counter top cellar I am willing to give it another try.
It is hugely frustrating to watch my wines go from 60 degree to 78 degrees on a regular basis. I didnt fly to Italy and cart back my wine collection to watch it sit and cook on my counter!
I am not one to write reviews very often, but in effort to save someone else from this frustration I thought it was worth my time. I am not convinced at this point that a quality countertop wine cellar even exists. It is a great concept but unfortunately engineering a small appliance that performs like a refrigerator must be a tall order. In the future I will go the route of installing a larger, built-in unit in my kitchen.
Pros:
-counter top portability
-compact and aesthetically appealing
-preset temperature setting
Cons:
-loud
-unreliable
-needs a lot of space to breathe (defeats the purpose of having a counter-top size)
-may damage wines when temperature ranges
 Piece of garbage Oct 15, 2008
I have owned this for less than a month. Although it's loud, it seemed to function ok until I moved it. I emptied and moved it to another location temporarily and back again, now it does not work at all. The annoying fan is still running, although after 5 days it's still at 72 degrees when it's set to 55.
Absolute garbage!

Less than a year before the cooling system gave out and the cellar heated up (considerably above room temperature). Avoid at all costs.
I wouldn't trust my wine in this refrigerator Aug 17, 2008
The temperature fluctuates so much that I wouldn't trust it with swill, much less a good bottle of wine. We put some champagne in it and set it for 45 degrees, the lowest temperature setting. For starters, we like our champagne a little colder, so it's disappointing that this unit can't go to 41 degrees (the lowest recommended temperature for champagne).
The unit reached 45 degrees after a day, but now--even though it's still set for 45--it's up to 59! The instructions say that the outside environment can impact the unit's ability to reach the set temperature. Um...in the case, why not buy a cooler? Or, as a friend suggested, store the wine refrigerator inside our real refrigerator? Shame on us for opening the door and shutting off the air conditioning.
Junk May 14, 2008
This Wine Cellar lasted 2 years before the theromstat gave out. Ruined some good wine before I noticed what had happened.
