There are many reasons to get a wine cooler, maybe you like to collect exotic or expensive wines, or maybe you love to indulge in wine more than the doctor recommended, or maybe you bought so much wine that you need to hide some from your significant other. If you find yourself storing 10’s or 100’s of wine bottles on shelves, in a cabinet, or in a regular refrigerator, it’s time to consider how you’re going to maintain your investment long term with a home wine cooler.
What is a Wine Cooler?
A wine cooler, also known as a wine refrigerator or wine cellar, is a specialized appliance designed specifically for storing and preserving wine. Unlike a regular refrigerator, which is designed to keep food at a low temperature, a wine cooler is set to a specific temperature range that is ideal for storing wine. This temperature range varies depending on the type of wine, but generally falls between 45-65 degrees Fahrenheit for red wine and 45-55 degrees Fahrenheit for white wine.
One of the key features of a wine cooler is its ability to maintain a consistent temperature. This is important because fluctuations in temperature can cause the wine to expand and contract, which can lead to oxidation and spoil the wine. A wine cooler also has a humidity control system to keep the relative humidity between 50-80% which is the ideal range for wine preservation. In addition, since wine coolers have the ability to store wine bottles horizontally, it keeps the wine in contact with the cork, which prevents the cork from drying out and allows the wine to age properly.

What are the Types of Wine Coolers?
-
Single Zone. A single zone wine cooler is a type of wine refrigerator that maintains a single, consistent temperature throughout the entire unit. This means that all of your wine bottles are stored at the same temperature, regardless of whether they are red or white. Single zone wine coolers are great for those who only plan to store one type of wine or prefer to serve their wine at room temperature
-
Dual Zone. A dual zone wine cooler is a more advanced and versatile option for wine enthusiasts, it is a type of wine refrigerator that maintains two separate temperature zones within the same unit. This allows you to store different types of wine at their ideal temperatures, red wine between 55-65 degrees Fahrenheit and white wine between 45-55 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that the wine's complexity and flavor are maintained, and allows you to serve the wine at its best.
