Default Adding Humidity to a Refrigerated Wine Cabnet

This sounds like a dumb question to me, but I had to ask.

To add humidity to a refrigerated wine cabnet - would placing a pan of
water in the bottom of the cabnet actually do any thing?

What other ways could I add humidity to my refrigerated wine cabnet?

Thanks

Default Adding Humidity to a Refrigerated Wine Cabnet

There are some cabinets that do just that - maintain a pan of water. Yes, it
helps - but evaporation alone may not be enough to sustain the appropriate
humidity levels (70%, +/- 10%). In larger spaces (cellar), you can rig a
humidifier by placing a towel into a bucket of water and hanging over the
side down to a level just below the bottom of the bucket. Allow the towel to
drip on to a concerte block.

Not something you'll be able to emulate in the small space of a wine
refrigerator. The pan would be a more practical improvement.
