Default Thoughts on Dual Zone wine cooler?

Was wondering what the general consensus was in regards to a dual zone wine cooler and if it was OK to dedicated 1 zone to wine and 1 zone to cigars.

I found a decent price on a dual zone 21 bottle and was thinking of using the top to store around 3-6 bottles of wine at a time and dedicating the bottom portion to cigars.


My first concern is temperature, I would probably be OK storing the wine at 55 in the upper zone and the cigars around 65 in the lower zone.

Would the wine cooler be able to regulate each zone appropriately? I also don't want any excess moisture buildup which might come from keeping the top cooler than the bottom. Although I think any excess moisture can be directed to beads in the bottom of the cooler which will suck it up.

Also, would the cigar aroma and cedar aroma have any effect on the wine?

My understanding is that the cigars would be OK but the wine may suffer, depending on how long they stay in the wine cooler before consuming. Which isn't a huge problem, the main purpose of the wine cooler will be for cigars anyway.

The wine I would store wouldn't be anything super expensive and would probably be consumed within 1-3 months.

What do you guys think?

I would imagine certain wine coolers also do a better job at completely isolating 1 zone from another, I was looking at an edgestar if it means anything.

Thanks in advance, just joined this forum and it really has some great information on it.
