lilninjabuddy WOW, that was a lot of very useful information, THANK YOU. It looks Like I am leaning toward HF beads used in small containers on each shelf. I am curious about the temp controller. Is it a must and how the heck does it get connected? I am not very good with boards and such. larger electrical I am good with, but that technical stuff is a no-no for me. I was looking at this one, will it work?

it looks like the fridge gets plugged into it and then to the wall and it controls the electric to the fridge? is that right?
The one I linked to is really easy to set up. All you really need is a grounded extension cord, a screwdriver, and a wire stripper/cutter. Cut, strip, screw the wires into the unit. If you want to get fancy, you can make a housing for it, I'm going to do that with an old cigar box.
Then, you plug the ETC into the wall, and the Wineador into the unit. Simple as that.
The only issue I can see with the one you linked is that there's no range, no time delay, and it's more expensive. You want a bit of range and a bit of time delay so that the unit isn't constantly turning on and off. That constant on and off will wear out the control board on the wine cooler a lot faster unnecessarily.
