It's designed for wine bottles laying end-on in four shelves and four bottles per shelf. I think that is about the minimum dimensions of any wine fridge. Less than 16 bottles wouldn't be much use. 16 bottles is 12L of wine, but for a single cask of the right size you should be able to get about 20L of beer brewing in there. craig: I'm sure that there are lots of uses for such things, as Capn suggests brewing beer would be a reasonable option. I think that a typical fridge is something below 8C with 4C being relatively common - at least near the top of the fridge where the cooling elements are. I can imagine people wanting to store cheeses and other things at a range of temperatures. I could imagine someone who is serious about food storage having one "wine fridge" at 11C and another at 18C so that different items can be stored at the ideal temperatures - 18C is a pretty good temperature for chocolate. Anon: It's sad that there are probably women who are impressed by such things. Capn: The width is about 35.5cm, the height is about 41cm, and the depth is about 30cm.

Therefore it seems logical to suggest that I couldn't be addicted to chocolate in the way that someone who uses such a fridge for it's intended purpose might be addicted to alcohol. But seriously I don't have headaches or anything when I don't eat it for a day. Dennis: Careful there, you might make my laptop jealous! ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_withdrawal_syndrome
