With a multiple zone wine refrigerator you can store your different types of wines in 2, 3 or more independently controlled temperature zones.
Multi-temperature zone wine coolers are high-end wine storage solutions that ensure perfect thermal and other conditions for your wines.
Several manufacturers – EuroCave, Perlick, Marvel, Vinotemp – make multi zone wine refrigerators in various decors so that you can choose one that best suits your needs and preferences.
Dual zone wine coolers have two distinct temperature zones one for red wines and the other for whites.
You can adjust and monitor the temperatures of the two zones independently.
For more information read our article about dual temp.-zone wine cooler refrigerators that recommends some good-value two-zone wine fridges.
Recommended Multiple Zone Wine Refrigerators
On this page we list and review the most popular multiple zone wine coolers with 3 or more independent temperature zones.
Note that some wine cooler brands appear to have 3 zones, while in reality these are not 3 separate, individually climatized compartments within the unit but 3 temperature levels in the interior of the cabinet, the temperatures of which you cannot adjust separately.
These are in fact single zone wine refrigerators in which you can select and adjust one temperature to which the unit will cool. U-Line wine coolerrs are a good example of this.
U-Line wine cellars are reliable and well-made units with (according to U-Line) a “unique triple temperature zone design” which doesn’t mean 3 separate, individually controlled compartments but a temperature stratification within the same compartment:
- top: 55 ºF (13 ºC) best for storing reds
- middle: 50 ºF (10 ºC) for whites
- bottom: 45 45 ºF (7 ºC) good for chilling sparkling wine
U-line however has true dual-zone wine coolers with two independently controlled drawers. Read more about U-Line Echelon Two-Zone wine refrigerator.
