Or you could fill up some gallon containers with water, all you need
is mass. I wouldn't be overly concerned about vibration either unless
you can feel shaking when touching it gently. You can usually feel
vibration best with your fingernails on edge.

The main issue is relative humidity if he used natural corks.
Refrigerators dry the air out by design; you may want to keep a damp
sponge in there too in they are natural corks. If synthetic, it's not
an issue.

If all you are storing is wine this won't be running a lot anyway
since the door will be closed more than not.
