Behold, the posh Rocco wine fridge
All of those wine fridges are simply effective, however they might hardly encourage me to pen good-looking love letters and ship myself by boat à la Nosferatu the best way the Rocco wine fridge does.
This fridge is pricey, little question about it. However the price ticket appears much less and fewer outlandish the extra I start to reframe the acquisition as not simply a big kitchen equipment (in addition to one that may liberate area in my full-sized fridge) however an precise, 10-year-warranty-protected piece of designer furnishings. I’ve by no means craved the aesthetic presence of a wine fridge in my lounge earlier than as a result of, frankly, most of them are tolerable eyesores; they’re both chrome or black plastic, and/or illuminated with some type of cheesy blue lighting that ought to be reserved for the overhead lights on a JetBlue aircraft. Against this, the Rocco fridge cuts a modern mid-century-modern silhouette with a UV-reeded, come-hither glass door. There’s additionally a devoted tray/bar cart area atop the fridge, which jogs my memory of the retro-futuristic Vitra wall organizers, and helps rework the piece from a garage-destined equipment to lounge clout-piece.
Then there are the actually nerdy specs [opens trenchcoat]; In keeping with the Rocco web site, the fridge can deal with 27 bottles of Bordeaux, 88 cans, or a mix of each. There are additionally twin temperature zones which you can management by way of a smartphone app, and which may additionally offer you a Huge Brother-style cam view of the within of your fridge — the latter of which isn’t one thing I would like, however positive is one thing I’d use to humble a Dimes Sq.-based skater with a belief fund.
I might go on, however I’ve to go depend the change in my Acorns account. However in the event you deliver residence a Rocco fridge first, not less than invite me over for a splash of one thing swanky?
