The short answer is, it depends.

Where do you live, do you have basement with an unheated area that has
a steady temp? What are you plans for long term storage? (are those
$100 bottles for driniking in 20 years or when the occassion arises?)

If you have a place for storage in the house that is great. If you,
like me, live in a hot climate, Florida, even a small collection will
benefit from a cooler. What kind and size depends on your needs and
how large a collection you will have (it will grow to the limit of
your storage if you are like most people.)

Hope that helps a bit starts a dialogue.
