As the name implies, a dual zone wine cooler has two separate areas that are maintained at different temperatures. So, do you need a dual-zone wine cooler?
- The answer is “Yes” if your collection includes vintages such as Beaujolais, Chablis, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, etc. In this case, you want a dual-zone for your diverse collections. For example, store your Chardonnay at 48 °F, Red Burgundy at 63 °F.
- The answer is another “Yes” if you are storing both wine and beverages such as beers or soda. Your store your beers at a chill 38 °F in one zone. And, you keep your Champagne at 45 ℉ in the other zone.
- The answer can be “No” if your vintage preference is primarily red or white, you are good to go with a single-zone wine cooler. Set the temperature to 55 °F – a long-term equalizer temperature to store both types of wines.

Buying Guide for dual-zone wine and beverage coolers
An appropriate temperature is the key to store your wine properly. A regular refrigerator is too cold to store your vintages. That’s why you are getting a wine cooler to protect the life and characters of your vintage to enjoy in weeks, months and years to come.
What to look for in a dual-zone wine cooler?
- Decide where you are going to install your cooler. Take measurement of the installation site. The height, width and depth numbers helps you to determine your wine fridge’s dimension.
- Do you want the door to open to the right or left? Order a right-hinge or left-hinge model based on your requirement. Or, choose a reversible-door option.
- Do you want a single door or two doors? If a family member is going to open your beverage cooler a dozen times a day, consider a French-door model which two individual doors. Why? So, the wine section will not be disturbed when the beverage door is frequently opened and closed.
- Next is the type of installation. Do you want a free-standing unit? A built-in model into your cabinetry? What space are available in front of the cooler? Do you have enough room when the door is opened?
- What is the capacity for your collection? If you have more than a 100 bottles, go for a full-size unit. Based on our sales number, a medium size dual zone with 46-bottle is the most popular choice.
- Easy to use and maintain. Is the temperature control intuitive to use? Is it difficult to remove a shelf? Do the shelves has stoppers (to prevent them from falling out)? Does it have a memory function to keep the set-temperature after a power lost? Is it frost free?
- Check out quality. Is it quiet – what is the noise decibel? Does the unit keep its temperature accurate and even? What grade of stainless steel is used?
- What aesthetic is pleasing to you? Stainless steel door with black exterior? Two handles? Top handle? Wooden racks for wines? Glass shelves for beers? Wire racks for beverages.
We believe “form and function” is all about meeting an individual’s requirements and styles. Every dual-zone on this ranking-page is a premium cooler. So, with your dimension and must-have, plus your sense of styles, you know exactly which “one” is best for you. Cheers!
