Dual Zone Bar Fridges

A dual zone wine fridge runs two independently controlled temperature zones in one cabinet: beer cold on one side, wine at cellar temperature on the other. No compromise, no second appliance. 10 dual zone models, 122-405L, $760.00 to $2,153.65, all Schmick, every one with a glass door and a lock.

Why dual zone?

• Two temperatures, one cabinet: lagers at 2-5°C and reds at 12-18°C at the same time. This is the same thing buyers call a dual zone beverage fridge, a dual zone wine and beverage fridge or a dual zone beverage and wine cooler.
• Real capacity numbers: the JC165B holds 90 cans, the SK198D 88, and the 244L SK228D 110.
• Under bench or upright: 7 of the 10 stand 900mm tall or less, so they drop into a bench cavity. The small dual zone wine fridge in the range is the 122L JC132D at 800mm tall and 595mm wide, $760.00. The BD425D uprights give 405L at 1,800mm.
• Serving, not cellaring: these hold drinking temperature precisely. For decade-long aging you would want a humidity-controlled cabinet instead.

Same cabinet, different words. A dual wine fridge, a dual wine cooler and a dual zone bar fridge all describe a two-zone unit; what changes is what you put in each side. Search for a wine cooler fridge dual zone and you land here too. Every unit in the range runs at 43-44dB and carries a 2-year warranty, and all 10 are in stock.

If you only drink beer, a standard beer fridge may be all you need. For dedicated wine storage see wine fridges; for two-cabinet setups browse the beer & wine combo range including the outdoor Rhino pairs.
