A single-zone wine cooler is designed to have one temperature control as well as the storage space of the unit is undivided. Therefore, the whole cooler is set to only one temperature. This cooler is best for you if you only collect a certain kind of wine.
Dual-zone wine coolers are featured with two different temperature controls as well as the storage space of the appliance is divided into two parts which may be set to their own temperatures.
This is best for someone that plans on storing more than one type of wine, such as red and white wines, as they do not share the same optimal temperature.
Added to this, conventional dual-zone wine coolers are larger than single-zone coolers so they can hold more wine bottles. If you are looking to store a large amount of wine, this would be the ideal pick for you.
