Thermoelectric?

yeah, wine coolers come in two variations, compressor driven like your fridge, or thermoelectric which has no moving parts, and is damn quiet. It cools electronicly versus older compressor driven. Trust me you want thermoelectric.

I believe the electronic cooling is provided by what is called a peltier cooler.

Funny thing, I just happen to have a few of these things. They are about the size of a cpu and have a heatsink on each side with a couple of wires sticking out. Pretty neat really. Give it 12 volts, one side gets cold, the other side gets hot.

My plan was to make a beer cooler coaster out of one but now I'm thinking that I can modify an Igloo and build my own vino. Granted, I would need to figure out the something for the temp control to keep it consistent, but that shouldn't be too hard. Temp sensor, a couple of relays and I'm good to go.

Google search the peltier cooler once and just build your own vino.

I solved the problem by just moving it. I looks like I will be purchasing a vintotemp when I find out where I'm moving though.

Sounds like the way to go.
