The LG Signature Wine Cellar has different zones that are chilled to optimal temperatures for red, white and sparkling wines

LG LG first started in 1958 (as GoldStar) and has been a pioneer in the latest and most innovative gadgets: It launched the world’s first 4K OLED TV in 2014 and, while it might not be as much of a force as some of its competitors, it’s a loyally trusted brand. The company’s philosophy is all about how technology can enhance quality of life and, while that’s certainly true of its many, many different products, one of our favorites is the LG Signature Wine Cellar. Think of it as an extra pair of hands for your next dinner party, as it can hold 65 bottles at once and, thanks to a holographic sensor beneath the door, it can open automatically if you’re clutching a few beloved bottles. It has three different zones that are each chilled to the optimal temperature for red, white or sparkling wines, and is even suitable for maturing wine with a similar environment to a specialist cave. When not in use, the door can blend into your background; with two gentle taps it illuminates to show you what bottles are inside without having to open the door and potentially disrupt the temperature inside. There’s also a nifty chilled draw that can rise up amongst the ice cubes; a perfect place to keep canapes chilled and ready for dishing out to your guests. lg.com
