The Rocco Fridge Will Hold Your Drinks at Perfect Temp and Look Good Doing It

"When's the last time you poured a perfect glass of Pinot Noir in your own home? If you're like me from three weeks ago, probably never. Red wines should be served somewhere between 58 and 68 degrees (opinions vary). That's a bit cooler than room temperature, but unless you want to dedicate money and space to a special refrigerator, you don't have many good options."

"The "smart fridge" branding is perhaps a bit of bluster. Other than the design, which is incredibly thoughtful and flexible (there's room for both cans and 750 millilitre bottles), it has an app-based lock, and can allow you to prioritise chilling over volume for when it's being opened constantly (Party mode) or be quiet in your home theater (Quiet mode)."

The Rocco stores beverages at distinct, precise temperatures, with lower shelves able to hold wine at about 58°F and other shelves at about 38°F. A wireless thermometer check confirmed accurate temperatures across shelves. The unit combines a design-forward, neutral aesthetic that suits midcentury and modern interiors while accommodating both cans and 750-milliliter bottles. The product includes an app-based lock and selectable modes like Party mode to prioritize chilling and Quiet mode for low-noise operation. Companion app connectivity has been unreliable, lacking an Android version and failing to connect with some newer devices and older Macs. The Rocco offers an attractive, flexible beverage storage solution despite app issues.
