If you want to use the cooling feature of a refrigerator most people would say you need a thermoelectric fridge. A traditional condenser will cause large humidity swings.

The dorm style fridges would be condenser. You want a Vinotemp or similar. Most wine fridges are thermoelectric.

Usually anything over 28 bottles is compressor cooled and 28 or less is Thermoelectric cooled.
