True Caliber has expanded its wine refrigeration lineup with a new 36-inch Dual Zone Wine Column designed for collectors, entertainers, and hospitality venues. The unit holds 179 bottles across fifteen soft-close racks and features independent dual-zone temperature control ranging from 40°F to 65°F.

Commercial-Grade Construction Handcrafted in the U.S. from 300-series stainless steel, the column emphasizes durability and thermal precision. The unit includes low-E, double-pane, UV-tinted glass doors to protect vintages from light damage while showcasing the collection. Cherry-fronted racks minimize structural vibrations that could disturb sediment. "At True Caliber, we believe a wine collection deserves to be stored with the same care and intention that went into curating it. The new 36" Dual Zone Wine Column pairs precision preservation with generous display capacity, transforming wine storage into a refined architectural feature that elevates the wine experience and the space around it," says Chelsea Bothe, Brand & Marketing Manager at True Caliber.

Customization and Performance The TruLumina LED lighting system offers fourteen ambient color options.

Solid stainless steel hinges are rated for one million door openings and lock open at 120 degrees in both right and left configurations. The column comes with a 3-year full parts and labor warranty. True Caliber's "Build Your True" program offers 96 finish and hardware combinations. Color options include 2026 Color of the Year Espresso, Matte Black, Olive, Champagne, Stainless Steel, Gloss Black, Ultra Matte Black, Emerald, Cobalt, Matte White, Antique White, Juniper, Sage, Saffron, and Bluestone. Hardware finishes include Stainless Steel, Copper, Brass, Pewter, Gold, Chrome, and walnut handles accented with metallics. Custom color-matching is available. Multiple units can be joined together using True Caliber's exclusive joining kits for integrated installations beneath unified grills.

Why It Matters

For hospitality operators and high-end residential installations, the column addresses growing demand for visible wine storage that combines preservation performance with design flexibility. The dual-zone capability allows simultaneous storage of different varietals at optimal temperatures, while the modular installation option suits both standalone installations and integrated back-bar or front-of-house displays.
