Single zone wine coolers have one temperature control and the storage space is undivided, so the whole wine cooler is set to the same temperature. This style is best if you tend to keep only white or only red wines, since they don’t have the same optimal temperatures. Dual zone wine coolers have two temperature controls and the storage space is divided into two sections which may be set to their own temperatures. This style is ideal for keeping both reds and whites without resorting to two wine coolers.

What is the best way to store white and red wines in the same cooler?

Typically, white wines should be stored in the temperature range of 5°C(46°F) to 13°C（56°F ）and red wines will be stored between 14°C（ 58°F） to 20°C（68°F）. The best way to accommodate both wines within the same unit is to purchase a dual zone wine fridge.

A dual zone cooler will allow you to maintain two distinct and separate temperature zones within the same cooler. Many times a wine refrigerator dual zone unit will offer a larger storage capacity for one style of wine over the other so be sure to purchase the unit that best suits your individual drinking preference. You may of course store both red and white wines together in a single zone unit.

By placing your red wines in the top shelves of the unit you will be storing them in the warmest section of the cooler. There is usually only a 5 to 8 degree temperature difference between the top of a single zone wine cooler and the bottom so ultimately either your red wines will be too cold or your whites too warm depending on how you choose to set the master thermostat of the unit.
