I never thought it had any value until I got stuck out of town with some beers that were supposed to be in the fridge for four days and were in for almost 2 weeks. The difference was pretty obvious.
After years without a dedicated beer fridge ... I had been unable to cold condition more than a few bottles at a time and for only a week at best.
