Wine Storage Coolers - Tips to Consider When Buying a Wine Cooler
Wine storage coolers for the home are becoming more and more popular these days. Whether you prefer a traditional wine storage cooler for your wine or one of the more technologically advanced refrigeration systems, there are a few simple things to keep in mind when shopping for one of these units. Here are a few tips to help you when looking for a wine cooler unit.
Almost all new homes either include or offer as an option a wine cooler fridge for the kitchen, in the bar or somewhere else in the home. There are plenty of options available when buying a refrigeration unit like this for your wines. You should consider buying one that has a slightly larger capacity then your initial needs so that you can grow your wine collection.
Look for a wine storage cooler that has a good insulation rating and also, specially treated glass helps protect the wine from light and maintain constant internal temperatures. This is especially important if the fridge is going to be placed in an area were temperatures fluctuate. Another feature to look for in a cooler is humidity control. This feature helps to keep air circulating and will reduce mold and mildew from forming in the unit.
Other features worth noting that are available on some units would be an integrated door lock which would protect your wines and adjustable/removable racks. With adjustable racks it makes it easy to reconfigure the storage space so you can fit larger bottles of wine. Also the fact you can remove the racks makes easy to clean the unit. Other high end wine storage coolers might have a dual temperature controller which gives you the ability to independently control temperature zones allowing chilling of red and white wines simultaneously.
Just about everything that is wine related is increasing in popularity, so companys that are manufacturing wine coolers today are offering more and more options for the consumer. There is a huge selection of refrigeration units available, they range in many different sizes and styles which will meet just about any wine enthusiasts needs and budget.

Where can I buy west coast wine cooler? I live in the Netherlands?
Stupid answers always welcome. I've lost all hope of finding west coast wine anyway.
Do you mean a device to cool wine, or the mix drink?
Assuming you mean the drink, I did a quick search for you. That was not easy since most Google results will show the machines that cool wine, not the drink.
Apparently, wine coolers were very popular here in the US in the 80s, but they are not very popular nowadays. I could only find one wine cooler maker, and that is California Cooler.
http://www.cacooler.com/
Note that the most of the mixed drinks in the US are using malt, not wine, because it was cheaper to make (something with taxes). But apparently, California Cooler makes a mixed drink that still uses wine.

You can buy California Cooler here in the US (in supermarkets and wine stores) but I could not find info how to buy it online. Maybe you know someone here who could ship it for you? Or make a trip to California yourself? Anyway, since it has alcohol, it will not be possible to ship large amounts.
And finally, you can always make your own. Just buy some cheap wine, some soft drink, maybe a slice of lime and go crazy. Here is a recipe for starters:

Hope that was a bit helpful. I am also Dutch by the way, but live in the US. Happy drinking!
