      <content>Thank you for the advice.  Best deal turned out to be a Danby 35 bottle wine cooler from costco for $199 with free shipping to our home.  Looking forward to stocking up.</content>

      <content>I have three coolers by Danby!  They work just fine!  My best buy was from Target where there was a clearance for a 35 btl cooler for $75 when I got up from it rang for $35 there was a dent on the top towards the back but who cares!  I would say if you drink a lot of Pinot or Chard with the larger bottle don't plan on a cooler fitting all 28 bottles.</content>

      <content>Which Target was this?  I was looking at some the other day and the Danby and Avanti boxes looked like they had been transferred to the store from Hurricane Katrina's path. </content>

      <content>I was hoping this thread would be about Bartles &amp; James et al.  What ever happened to beverages being marketed as "wine coolers?"  I blame Zima for their demise.</content>

      <content>I don't think any of them contain 'wine' any longer. Ah, I have fond memories of B&amp;J times... I believe almost everything akin to what we remember is now a 'malt beverage'</content>

      <content>Damn, you stole my joke.

I wonder if that Zima guy is still around.   Every time I saw that annoying commercial I wanted to punch him in the throat.</content>
