Can I set it to different temperatures for wine or does it assume all wine should be at the same temperature?

There isn't an exact temp setting, but there is a chart in the manual. The 4 settings provide a range in which you will be at. It assumes a starting temp to get these ranges. But you are looking at a chilling range from 41 to 65 degrees.

Mine's been set at 55 degrees since I got it a few months ago. Holding temp. great so far. No complaints. Have it about 3'4 full of wine at the present time.

First, I keep mine at 63 for red wine, but when I lower the temp, it goes down pretty quickly. It is not a refrigerator, but an air cooler, it does not have a compressor.I

No it doesn't not have to be open. The top of the opener has a sensor and you put the sensor against the bottle and it gives you the temperature of the wine.

This depends on the cheeses you use and how much they have been diluted with wine or something else. The water bath will keep the cheese from burning, so any temperature you want is fine. the higher the temperature the thinner the mixture. You decide what consistency you like and record that setting. If you always use the same cheeses and the same mixture, your recorded setting will work for you. Cooking is not a science, but is based on science. have some fun experimenting with different cheeses and mixtures. the Trudeau will keep you from the serious error of burning your cheese while you find out what you like best.

I have one Side and back with 1 1/2 inches and other side is open. We keep the unit in our family room - 74F summer - 65F winter. Temperature ranges from 39F to at most 41F. Top rack is definitely only for red wine. Note we keep the unit fairly well stocked in order to maintain an even temperature range. You do have more temperature swings when not well stocked. That will hold true with most refrigeration equipment. The refrigerated items absorb the cold energy then release as temps increase.

There are not (at least on mine.). PS - regarding comments regarding the unit being noisy. I can honestly say that mine (which is built-in) is virtually silent. It also keeps the wine within 2~3 degrees of my setting.

might be a stretch. I have white wine at 46 in the top. Have not tried to push it any colder then that.

It has two digital tthermometers, as it has two cooling zones. For your white wines you can set the temperature in 1 degree units from 48-64 degees and for the reds the temperature can be set from 51- 64 degrees. I have not verified how accurate the temperatures are as I use the unit as a modified humidifier for my cigars. Since I need the temperature at 70 degrees I purchased a Johnson Controls thermostat that plugs into the cooler to control the internal temperature.

I really don't know the answer to that because I just use it for wine and I have it on 48 degrees all the time. If I had to venture a guess, I would say no because it is a wine cooler. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes! Setting a specific temp is impossible (a lot of tinkering with knob), a good cooked steak is possible.

There are 4 different general settings, 2 for white wines and 2 for red, you just have to select the the type of wine that beat matches what you want to chill. I really like this wine chiller because there is very little time needed to chill the wine when you don't plan ahead or don't have room in your refrigerator to chill the wine.

Daniel, If you're careful you should be able to do that. I use it to check the temperature of tea in a tea pot sometimes and it's right on the money with that. I'd recommend taking a couple readings on different spots and going with what seems to be the most consistent. Id also recommend pointing it at the label instead of the glass. You may in fact be reading the temperature of the glass - but it should be pretty close if not exactly the temp of the wine inside. Also, don't make the mistake of thinking the laser is the exact spot the temp is being taken. Place the larger opening on the gun directly on the bottle.

No temperature setting that I'm aware of...beverage comes out very hot so it would be best, if it is too hot, to let it cool for a few seconds...I prefer it that way...

There are two zones where you can set the white wine zone to 45 degrees and red to 60. HOWEVER!!! it does not work. This is a horrible product and I regret buying it. The actual temperature in each zone is greatly influenced by the room temperature where the cooler is located. If the room temperature is around 75 degrees the white wine zone will stay at around 55 and the red around around 70 and there is nothing you can do about it. This cooler looks nice as a piece of furnuture in my kitchen but it does not function as a wine cooler. Stay away from it!

I don't think so. It is a single zone. However, you can get a bit different temperature depending where you place the bottles inside. Place the reds on the upper and the whites at the lower trays where is a bit cooler. I love it. My wines are always at the desired temperature

Just lay them down (like a wine rack) and you should be able to get about 18 to 20 depending on circumference of bottle. I would keep the temp control around 2 as the unit works great and items toward the rear can tend to freeze if you adjust temp too cold
