Review of GE Profile : PCR06WATSS 24in Wine Center with a 57 Bottle Capacity

I recently purchased this unit as a part of a full kitchen remodel.Unfortunately, upon attempting to transfer part of my wine collection I found the unit completely unsuitable.Because the unit attempts to fit 57 bottles into a relatively small space (note GE also sells a 29 bottle unit with a capacity of 4.3 cubic ft, compared to this unit's 5.5 cubic ft), the unit will not fit many 750 ml (standard capacity) wine bottles.Most Bordeaux style bottles (which have a pronounced shoulder below the neck and are basically cylindrical below the shoulder) will fit.However, many Burgundy style bottles (which taper gradually outward below the neck and are usually wider at the bottom) will not.The latter type of bottles bump up against the shelf above when the shelf they rest on is opened or closed.This kind of vibration is very bad for collectible wines, and a significant percentage of producers around the world (including the U.S.) use Burgundy style bottles.

In fairness, I have contacted GE about this problem and will edit this review if I receive a satisfactory response.Until then, I would highly recommend even wine novices steer clear of this product.There are multiple options in the $300-600 price range that have slightly less capacity but fit the vast, vast majority of 750 ml bottles.
