refrigerators temperature is usually close to lower threshold those summer veggies can handle, but on the other side, if you live in a warmer climate they won't store much better at room temperature.
I don't have central A/C, I use split-wall units because I think it is way less wasteful to only cool the places that are actually being used.
Because of that, I always wondered if one those wine cooler refrigerators, which work around 13C would be a good compromise in terms of optimal storage of fresh vegetables and roots X power efficiency.
Has anyone tested this? I'd eventually buy one and try it, but if someone else is doing this, I would love to hear about their experience.
My MIL has commandeered our wine cooler and there's nothing but assorted vegetables in there now. I can't comment on whether this is a good practice or not.

Well, if she is doing it for some time by now, I would assume it is working :-)
