Does it have to be a Vinotemp?

No it doesn't. I have a Urbina (?) darn can't remember the name I picked up on Overstock for $72 shipped - 28 bottle cooler - thermoelectric - worked great through the summer. As stated above you want to make sure you have a thermoelectric cooler in it.

As others have said, just make sure it's thermoelectric. It will help smooth out the swings in humidity when the unit cyles on and off.

I had asked the question about wine and cigars together, at one time. I have a vino, but actually use it for wine.

I think the biggest issue is temperature. One might like to store wine at 55 degrees, which would lower the RH (I think?).
