Default Wine Coolers

Does anyone have recommendations for a 50-100 bottle wine cooler for both red and white wines? Goal would be to install in either the garage or closet with an annual temp averages highs are 45-80 where I'm at in the Pacific Northwest.

edit: probably would also store some 22oz beer...

Budget?

If your budget is tight, Home Depot/Lowes and Costco usually have some decent steals, sometimes around a 42 bottle'r, too.

50-100 you are looking at something getting close to full height?

Height isn't a huge concern for the garage, budget probably less than 2k. Oddly I don't care if it has the glass doors, but would prefer it to be efficient. I rarely use the AC, and it always seems to be acting up when it gets warm, so thinking I should do something. I've worked hard to get below 200 bottles , but that is still a 6k investment waiting to spoil.

I would have said Le Cache but they are definitely not for the garage.

EuroCave usually makes some decent stuff of various sizes and has decent cooling units. You can also get them with solid doors (cheaper) since it's a garage unit. Their Chamber unit may suit you: EuroCave Chamber

That looks like an ideal solution, they also have a 1/2 height one as well for a few hundred less, so there are a few options.
