| I don't see this as a big deal for resale so long as you can swap it out easily. If the fridge fits into the same space as a dishwasher and you just cap the water line, seems like you just buy a cheapo dishwasher when it is time to sell. |

Nobody wants a wine fridge. At our school auction we had two donated, nobody bid on them.
I had a tenant leave one behind in a rental house, along with a bunch of other stuff. I put it all out on the curb with a sign that said "Free." The wine fridge was the only thing not taken. I had to pay to have it hauled away, and it was expensive because it contained refrigerant. |

Wow, you made the same lame joke twice. Cringe. |
With the exception of people with big families, dishwashers are for lazy Americans. Takes about 20 seconds to wash dishes. |
| How much wine do you drink, what is the average price per bottle? |
I don’t have a dishwasher. I don’t plan to move. I have a very small kitchen and wanted cabinet space. |

1. If something makes you really happy, do it and don't worry about resale! 2. Most people would prefer the dishwasher (I don't drink wine or beer and use my dishwasher daily), but this is a quick and easy switch, OP. It's not like you're renovating with a dominatrix theme, complete with chains hanging from the ceiling! |
I must be a lazy European, then

Yep, it’s rare that you’ll find someone who wants to do a meal’s worth of pots, pans, and dishes by hand. Unless we have a big dinner part, we don’t need to chill more wine than fits in our regular fridge and even then, we would have a huge number of dishes to wash. |
I don’t want to eat off any dishes at your house if it only takes you 20 seconds. |
Generally, the dishwasher is more energy efficient than hand washing. But, you do you. https://www.cnet.com/home/kitchen-and-household/how-much-water-do-dishwashers-use/ |
| Better for the planet to wash with a dishwasher - you use a lot of water washing dishes by hand. |
| Please don't do this. It's a terrible idea. |
Agreed. Disgusting. |
