If you want to keep both reds and whites on hand, you’ll likely want to invest in a dual-zone wine fridge. This way, the wines can be stored separately at optimal temperatures (between 45 to 50 degrees for rosé, whites and sparkling wines, and around 55 to 60 degrees for reds). Divided into two 16-bottle zones, this wine refrigerator is a great option if you like having variety. One caveat: because the refrigerator needs to be vented to an open space, it shouldn’t be installed under a counter.
