Yeah, a regular split system won't really work. It needs to not only cool the space, which necessarily removes humidity, but it needs to add or maintain the humidity at a certain percent so the corks don't dry out. My customer ended up going with a mini-split of sorts. It was actually the evaporator and condensing unit that is intended to go in a walk-in flower/florist cooler. It was a few grand cheaper than one's marketed specifically for wine cellars, and achieved the exact same results.
A budget install, which we considered, would have been a normal mini-split system, with something along the lines of the Trion 707 (formerly the Herrmidifier 707) to add moisture back into the air, much like a cigar shop humidifier.
