Why Choose a Dual Temperature Fridge

By now we all know that in order to preserve your wine, a wine cooler is your best bet. However, there are so many wine coolers that it can become confusing. You are probably wondering what the difference is between most wine coolers, and what makes dual-temperature fridges better. There are many reasons for this because not only does a dual-temperature fridge allow your wine to age slower, but it also has many other benefits.

After this blog, you will have a more thorough understanding of the different types of coolers available as well as why a dual-temperature cooler is better than a single-zone cooler. For more information, read on!

 

What is a Dual-Zone Wine Cooler?

A dual-temperature zone wine cooler is pretty much what it says- It is a wine cooler that offers two temperature zones. A dual-zone wine cooler allows you to control the temperature of your wines to allow for the long preservation of your wine.

A wine cooler comes with two independently controlled temperature zones, which is like having two separate refrigerators in one. This is an ideal solution if you have limited space. Many wine coolers offer many different types of features such as display shelving, LED lighting, humidity control and dual-temperature zones.

However, not all wine coolers offer these features which is why it is important that before you purchase your wine cooler, you read the description and features of the product. Dual-zone wine coolers also do a better job of storing both red and white wine.

This is due to the dual temperature feature as it divides their storage space in half. They allow you to protect your white wine from oxidation by storing it at a lower temperature. Whereas it also allows you to store your red wine at its optimal serving temperature.

Dual-zone wine coolers are ideal for storing different types of wine. This is because not all wines are meant to be stored at the same temperatures. For example, rich red wines such as Vintage Port should be stored at a temperature of 19 degrees.

White wine, on the other hand, should be stored at a slightly cooler temperature of 12 degrees. This is due to the lack of alcohol content in white wine.

 

What is the Difference Between Dual and Single-Zone Wine Coolers?

There are two types of wine coolers such as single and dual-temperature zone wine coolers. Firstly, the biggest difference between the two is the temperature difference. For example, a single-zone wine cooler only has one temperature throughout the refrigerator.

Whereas a dual-zone wine cooler has different temperature zones, this allows you to store both red and white wines in the same unit. A dual-temperature cooler allows you to have more control over your wine cooler's temperature.

Although all wines should be stored at the same temperature, red and white wines are meant to be served at different temperatures. You may be wondering why it matters what wine cooler you store your wine in, but believe it or not, it does.

If you want to preserve your wine for longer and reduce the ageing time for your wine, then it is important that you get the right wine cooler to suit the type of wine you are storing. Ensuring you have the right wine cooler to suit your wines is also important if you want to keep the wine in excellent quality.

 

Is a Dual-Zone or Single-Zone Wine Cooler Better?

Here at Dunavox, we believe that storing your wine in a wine cabinet is nowhere near as effective as storing your wine in a wine fridge. This is why we sell our very own collection of wine coolers!

From dual-zone wine coolers to single-zone wine coolers, we have it all! But what type of wine cooler do we recommend for the best preservation of your wine? It’s simple, dual-zone wine coolers are much more efficient compared to single-zone wine coolers.

This is because a dual-zone wine cooler allows you to precisely control the temperature of various wines. As wine ages, it becomes more delicate and prone to oxidisation. Even the smallest environmental change can disturb your wine's ageing process.

Dual-temperature zones come with two independently controlled zones. It is pretty much like having two separate refrigerators except it takes up much less space. Dual-temperature wine coolers also tend to have a wider temperature range, this allows you to choose the temperature you want your wine to be stored.

Overall, we believe that a dual-temperature wine cooler is best if you are storing a range of different types of wine. Because the quality of your wines will remain the same and the ageing process will slow down as you are storing your wines correctly

 

What to Look for in a Dual Zone Wine Cooler

Here at Dunavox, we offer a range of wine coolers that offer dual-temperature control features. Some wine coolers we offer feature dual-temperature zones such as our Integrated wine coolers and our Dunaxox Home-54 freestanding wine cooler.

However, not all of our integrated wine coolers offer dual-temperature zones, so be sure to check the description of the product before purchasing. For more information on the wine coolers, we have available make sure to check out our Glance integrated collection!

We understand that investing in a wine cooler is a big investment. This is why we are going to provide you with some of the important features to look out for when choosing a dual-zone wine cooler.

 

Temperature Range

This is extremely important when storing your wines to ensure that they are preserved correctly. Ensuring your wine cooler maintains a precise temperature is also important in preserving your wines.

 

UV Protection

UV protection is important in preserving your wine as the sun can hugely affect the quality of your wine. This is why it is important to invest in a wine cooler with UV protection glass.

 

Vibration Free Storing

Vibration-free storing is important as vibration from normal fridges can disturb the sediment present in the bottle. Leading to a reduction in the wine's quality and dull flavours.
