I am not sure as to what to call you, so I will get right down to just giving you my answer to your question. I am not in the camp of those who say that wines have to be kept at a certain humidity level. I do think that unless one is keeping wines in a very dry almost desert like dry air, then regular humidity in nature will be fine. I have kept my wine in a 450 bottle wine cabinet for several years and do not use any additional moisture. I also have some overflow that I can't get in the cabinet and keep those in a static (basement) rack(s) no problems in many years.
Added thoughts:
If I wanted to add moisture to the chiller I think what I would do instead of a glass of water is to put a small dish like a saucer with a damp/wet wash cloth. That moisture would then evaporate into the interior keeping humidity quite high, it might be a better solution than a glass and be less likely to get tipped over making a mess.
