running the freezer 24/7, the freezer [compressor] will last longer than if it cycles. fact. if the freezer is in the space that your cooling it will generate more heat to the space. heat of compression. energy it takes to run compressor.
suggestion ; you cant dig a celler, a/c units would work in a pinch, but if i am right arnt you supposed to keep wine at a constant temp? buy a lister engine, power a a/c unit off a car. or find an old open type compressor [belt drive] power the thing with used veggy oil.
300 cases of vino you have some money in. if your off grid and need cool storage with out a celler. and are serious about your stash. check into it.
see how the Amish keep things cool.
just my thoughts.
If I were smart I'd be dangerous
