Dacor 24-inch Built-in Wine Dispenser

This sleek, connoisseur-friendly wine dispenser (US$5,999) is an ideal solution for those reluctant to open an exceptional vintage for fear they may not finish it in one evening or for those who want to pair wines to courses without overindulging. Its Italianmade dual-zone cooling system can keep four bottles of wine fresh and at the perfect temperature for up to 60 days. Once the bottles are sealed into the unit, the machine replaces the oxygen in the bottles with argon, ensuring unaltered aroma and flavour. It’s like an amped-up Coravin.

You can customise each spigot to dispense any amount with a single click, from a splash to a halfglass to a free pour, an option we like to call the Friday button. A code-activated locked mode helps stop kids (or the au pair) from sampling the ambrosia. Although designed for wine, the system also makes a mean martini. Simply set up one side to dispense the just-right amounts of gin and vermouth into your glass. The olives are up to you.
