I need advice from the collective. It seems like there is a trend to sell wine in unique bottles. The only problem with this, those bottles will not fit into my wine fridge. Has anyone transferred wine to standard bottles and are you concerned about the wine one it hits the air? I’ve looked at vacuum stoppers but not sure if this is a good idea or not.

Don’t touch the bottle until you are ready to drink it. Double decant the night before into a standard bottle, vacuum seal it, put into fridge, a vacuum seal will keep the standard bottle fresh for 2-3 days.

I haven’t looked into vacuum stoppers, but if you plan to hold onto the wine for any significant period of time, I wouldn’t touch the bottles. How long do you normally store wine before consuming it?

It’s only a couple of weeks. As long as you aren’t storing it in your car trunk or outdoors in the sun or snow you are fine. It sits upright on store shelves for longer than that. An unrefrigerated shelf is not going to be a problem for such a short period.

I don’t think this would be a good idea if you intend to hold the bottles for any length of time. I wouldn’t trust at-home vacuum stoppers for more than a couple weeks. Prepping for a party? Sure, but if I’m going to hold it 6 mo or several years, then it’s time to find more accommodating storage.

Strongly recommend against doing this, especially if the wine is delicate enough to require wine fridge storage. For a couple weeks of aging, best just find a cool dark place to store or Tetris the other stuff in your fridge. Transferring bottles without the right equipment and controls will likely cause flavor degradation at minimum, and could even introduce contaminants.

Not a good idea. Once you open that bottle the oxidation process kicks in immediately as a result of 21% oxygen in the air on this planet we inhabit, which is good but not good for storage after that.
If two weeks is your cycle time for consumption, I would leave it out of the wine fridge in a dry, dark place, throw in the freezer for ~ 40 minutes before uncorking, depending on your local temp, to bring to a nice temp for consumption and depending on the variety and enjoy it.

Can’t say enough good things about vacuum stoppers. It helps not waste wine and they can be pretty easy to use. Most by the glass restaurants also use them since quality of the wine is preserved between opening.

Not a good idea. You don’t need a wine fridge though it helps when you live in a warm region. I feel your pain, though, as I drink a lot of Rieslings and similar whites that come in tall flute bottles that often do not fit in wine fridges

If your holding time is a couple weeks only, it seems like a lot of effort to transfer them to different bottles — additional, it does sound a bit like blasphemy to even want to re-bottle wine!

I would instead think of creative storage ideas — can you remove a shelf to have more room? Can you put a box inside the fridge? Do they need a fridge if it’s just a couple weeks of storage or could you store elsewhere and cool (if needed) before consumption?

Not a good idea
