• What is a cooling zone?  A cooling zone is a compartment in a wine cooler that has its temperature by a thermostat. In the single zone wine cooler the air is cooled by a cooling device (compressor or thermoelectric). Air circulation can be by convection or by a fan. Multi-zone wine coolers, not surprisingly, have two or more separate spaces. Some wine coolers create the space by putting a divider in the cooler. In some cases the cooling of the individual spaces is done by a single cooling unit with one or more fans that move air into the spaces. Usually, each space will have a separate thermostat. In other cases the air movement creates natural differences in space temperatures using a single thermostat. In our experience, the temperature of the spaces within the units of this last design will differ by about 10º. The idea of it all is to keep your white and red wines at a temperatures best suited to them. Some wine coolers include one cooling unit per space. The Vinotemp VT-48TEDS-2Z is a 2-zone wine cooler with French doors. Each side of this cooler has its own cooling unit. The Vinotemp Rioja comes in a single zone and two multi-zone versions. The VT-RIOJA1 is a single zone version, the VT-RIOJA2 is a 2-zone version and the VT-RIOJA4 is a 4-zone version. The 2-zone model is, essentially, two single zone units stacked - 2 cooling units. The 4-zone unit can be thought of as two 2-zone side-by-side - 4 cooling units. The most important consideration in the selection of a wine cooler having one or more zones is that they all do the job of providing one, two or more cooled areas. If you are interested in the details of how a wine cooler you are considering works, please contact us.

How long will wine last on my Winekeeper unit?

The length of time wine will remain fresh on your Winekeeper will vary based on a number of factors: temperature, wine age and wine type, and cleanliness of your machine. This makes it impossible to give a firm length of time. As a guideline you should expect wines to last approximately one to three weeks. Some wines, such as ports and sauternes, can remain sound for many weeks.

Which gas is better for my Winekeeper unit, Nitrogen, or Argon?

Nitrogen, which comprises approximately 70-80% of the air we breathe, has no special merits as a preserving agent, other than it is inert. (it has no odor, taste or color and contains no oxygen). Argon has similar properties , but is slightly heavier than air and tends to form a blanket between the surface of the wine and any air trapped in the bottle. Neither gas has any special properties such as neutralizing or encapsulating oxygen . Oxygen is what causes wine to oxidize. While argon is superior to nitrogen in almost all applications, its benefits are minimal due to its higher expense and lower availability. The only time argon out-performs nitrogen is when sparging an opened and poured bottle of fresh wine. Sparging is introducing a gas into a bottle to force out as much air as possible before recorking it. Using argon in a properly used and maintained Winekeeper will only increase the wines useful life on the machine by 2-5%
