My experience with yuppie grade wine fridges is not good.
Most I've seen use an aluminium tube from the compressor discharge, through the insulation and around the door seal face to keep the seal face from forming condensation. It then runs back to the condenser. In most I've had the displeasure of working with recently, the insulation seems to go acidic over a period of time (usually just after the warranty expires) and eats a hole in the Aluminium tube. The fridge runs pulling air in through the tube each time the compressor cycles off on its over-temperature klixon which drags loads of moisture through the synthetic oil, hydrolyzing it into acid.
At this point someone "repairs" it by bypassing the aluminium pipe. If they've done a half credible job they replace the drier and lop the end off the capillary as it'll plug up almost immediately. This will then run for another couple of years until the acid in the oil finally finishes off the compressor, usually causing it to mechanically lock up. So the windings meter out ok, but the compressor is toast.
On the other hand, if it's repaired "properly" with a good flush and replace the compressor oil, usually the inadequately specified evaporator fails where the copper capillary is bonded to the aluminium evap and it dies that way.
I'm sure there are quality units out there, but the ones I've been exposed to certainly had designed-in defects which appear to be built to ensure it fails a year or two out of warranty.
