Temperature is key to store your wine properly, that is why you are getting a wine cooler to protect the life and characters of your vintage to enjoy in days, weeks, months and years to come. Now, single zone or dual zone? If your drinking preference is just red or just white, you are fine to go with a single-zone cooler. But, if your collection includes vintages such as Beaujolais, Chablis, Champagne, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Sauternes, etc., you know you want a dual-zone wine cooler for your diverse collections.
As the name implies, dual zone wine coolers have two separate areas that are maintained at different temperatures . Each of the zones will have separate controls to set and display the temperatures at which the bottles are stored, allowing more sophisticated wine collections and proper storage and aging of both white wines and red wines.
Wine connoisseurs generally agree that red wines and white wines do best when stored and aged at different temperatures. For most wine enthusiasts, a dual-zone is a smart choice of wine coolers.
