The good news is I just received 33 bottles of wine. 16 '06 Italians and 17 '05 Bordeaux. The bad new is that I am having a very tough time getting these bottles into my vinotemp. It should hold about 180 bordeaux style bottles, but it does not. Most bottles are a little taller or wider so I can only fit ten or eleven on the wooden shelves instead of 13. The bottom shelf has a bit more space so the Pinots and CDPs fit there. I took out the middle shelf and am resting the bottles on the metal divider, 14 fit. Should I try removing a shelf and just stack the wine? I have a few slots in the under the counter fridge and in the magic chef I just bought from the depot, but still need more room. Yes I am already trying to buy less and drink more. Sorry for the long read.

Good news Eric, I live in Atlanta too and will come over and help you drink those extra bottles to render a fit.

Anyway I have a couple of wine fridges and I have found that in order to reach the spec'ed capacity you often have to remove the convenient shelving. Not in expensive eurocaves mind you. Most of my collection are the tall German/Alsace bottles and they certainly take up their fair share of room.
