It is always a good idea to cool wines you are storing for future use. Wines that are subject to temperatures that are either too high or vary significantly over time will end up with an off taste or, worst of all, be completely destroyed.
Single zone wine coolers are those that will maintain a steady, preset cool temperature to preserve your wines and allow them to age properly.
- These units can be the simplest coolers, often (but not always) with a smaller capacity, and often somewhat less expensive. The smaller units often sitting on a countertop or free-standing. Many of these wine coolers use thermoelectric cooling, which is quiet and vibration free.
- Most of the featured 30-plus-bottles and 50-plus-bottles are compressor-based cooling, and with front-vent design. These units are great choices for under-counter built-in. Our featured models are quiet and with low vibration.
- You will also find 100-plus bottles with a single zone. These large-capacity units are compressor-based wine coolers. They can be installed as a built-in or free-standing appliances.
Wine enthusiasts with larger and more varied collections may desire to have dual zone wine coolers or even multi-zone wine refrigerators. If you want to keep your red wine in one cooler, your whites in another, consider getting two single-zone wine coolers.
The ideal temperature for long terms storage of both red and white wines is similar – often cited as 55°F. Some consider any constant temperature between 45°F and 65°F will suffice. So, for some collectors, the use of two or more zones is more about storing wines within a temperature range that works for both reds and whites.
So, if your goal is long term wine storage, a large single zone wine cooler may be your ideal choice.
