There's only so much that beads can do, esp with a vinotemp, which due to having a peltier system and not a compressor cooler, isn't naturally going to pull some humidity out as it cools. There are cheap routes you can go to try managing the humidity (cat litter, Damprid) but if the ambient RH outside the vinotemp is high, you might also look at more expensive room dehumidifiers.

Put it to you this way. As soon as I open the door to the vinotemp the RH reading on my hygrometer that I leave in the open starts climbing and if I leave it open for just a couple of minutes the reading is 70%+.
