    I apologize if my research wasn't sufficient enough, but I have a good problem (too many beers for storage) and I need a solution!

    I am sitting on about 40 bottles right now and my only available storage is an 8 bottle wine fridge (not ideal, i know, but it works). My home has next to no storage space available and I do not have a basement. I have thought about putting an insulated cover over the fireplace as a temporary solution.

    Has anyone repurposed a cooler as a temporary cellar or found another solution that may work? I am moving in May and just need to keep my babies safe until then.

    Thanks!

    Are there any wine storage facilities by you?

    i'd rather use my fireplace, for fire.

    option 1- pay for storage
    option 2- drink more

    i think you know what to do

    How about your fridge? I'd drink about 10 of them beers and put the rest in the fridge.

    If you only have a few months till you move, just find the coldest place in your house and keep em there till then. Nothing to worry about for a few months.
