Good point about the wardrobe/closet issue, Lesley. I was theoretically aware of that, but as I am more and more leaning towards British English I sometimes forget there is a different version of English out there (if you leave shouting Australians in my neighbourhood aside). Regarding Italy, please do take me along!
There are two reason why I store the wine in a closet/wardrobe, and one is indeed the issue of electricity consumption. My green conscience just thinks it is weird to pay/pollute for something that should be included in any flat anyway, i.e. a decent wine storage cellar. Another issue is space - I would not want to have a noisy fridge in the bedroom and everywhere else it would mean to do some serious work to fit it in. I may look into this if I stay here longer, but so far I haven't given up the idea of a flat/house with a cellar!
