As you may be able to deduce, a single zone wine cooler only has one temperature zone throughout the whole refrigerator. A single zone wine refrigerator is great for those storing only a few varieties of wine for preservation or those storing wines strictly for serving. There are a few varieties that can be stored at the same temperature for preservation purposes but if you have a large collection with a range of varieties, you may need to store wines at various ideal temperatures to ensure proper preservation. You can learn more about the pros and cons of dual zone and single zone wine refrigerators here.

A dual zone wine refrigerator allows you to precisely control the temperatures for your various wines, which ensures perfect preservation. As wine ages, it becomes more and more delicate. Even the smallest environmental change can disrupt the wine aging process and will be a detriment to your valuable investment.

With a dual zone wine cooler, each zone can be set to the perfect temperature for preserving those specific wine varieties. It allows you to sort and organize your collection by white and red wines, vintages, or wines for preserving and wines for serving.

When precision is key, a dual zone wine refrigerator is an efficient and space-saving means to age your wines.
