A Dual Zone Wine Refrigerator Provides Greater Choice

Once you’ve arrived at that point in your wine collecting and consuming life where you realize the need for a separate cooling and storage facility, consider all your needs before purchase. Choosing a dual zone wine refrigerator may be a wise and important choice, specifically if you want to maintain exacting requirements for varying types of wine. Not every wine type requires the same storage demands. Not all wines should be stored at the same temperature.




A dual zone wine bottle refrigerator allows for setting the necessary temperature for either a red or white wine. For a demanding wine connoisseur, this may be the deciding factor when making a decision toward choosing a separate refrigerator to house your wine collection. But, if you are a lover of a variety of wines – red or white – you probably don’t want to buy separate cooling devices, so a dual zone wine refrigerator may be the correct choice for you.

Since temperature is probably the dominant factor toward assuring quality wine, many experts believe the best way is to provide different temperatures needed for different wines. To gain an exact atmosphere for different wines, it is necessary to have a dual zone wine refrigerator.

Red wine should be stored at a constant temperature that ranges only between 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows for the wine to maintain its correct flavor and attractive bouquet, both aspects that make the consumption of wine an enjoyable past time. Red wine will perform well at this required temperature. Thus your merlots, pinots, and burgundies will be enhanced through proper storage. Some experts call for your red wine to be removed to sit at ambient air temperature before being served.

Humidity control also is an important storage requirement for red wine storage. High humidity promotes the growth of mold that will damage the bottle’s cork and label. Although smaller, self-contained units can prevent this occurrence, larger built-in or other free-standing units should have proper humidity controls in your dual zone wine refrigerator.

The storage of white wine is the opposite of red. White wines should be cooler and should be served well chilled. White wines that are thoroughly chilled present a great and enjoyable experience when consumed at the correct temperature. Before a white wine is presented, it should be maintained at no greater than 39 degrees Fahrenheit.

Here are some wine storage tips to remember. Always keep your wine bottles lying on the side. This applies to only the storage of the bottle on a wine rack or in a wine cellars or another similar storage unit. Once removed and ready to serve, bottles can, and should stand upright. However, storing wine in an upright position may cause sediment to form and settle at the bottom of the bottle. This is especially true for most expensive red wines. Also, keep your wine bottles in the dark, avoiding any direct sunlight. Light is an enemy of wine as is vibrations. Therefore, always select a good location in your home to place your dual zone wine refrigerator that is vibration free. Following these simple tips will lead to an enjoyable wine consuming experience.
