What’s the difference between a plain old wine refrigerator and a wine cellar? A wine fridge merely keeps bottles chilled and isn’t designed to preserve, protect, and properly age wine over the years. A standalone wine cellar unit duplicates the temperature and humidity conditions in traditional wine cellars with precision. In the case of this carefully handcrafted, vibration-free EuroCave Performance 283 wine cellar, a built-in alarm lets you know when the humidity falls below the optimum setting (50-80 percent) and a lock and key prevents your fine wines from getting manhandled by cretins.

Secret Agents like their martinis shaken, not stirred. At least according to Sean Connery. This bar accessory would make James Bond’s nemesis Blofeld smile with glee, as it’s for the other kind of martini, the one that gets stirred to perfection. Bring this gorgeous, sleek stainless steel mixer to the super-secret SPECTRE meeting, but don’t sit in the chair that goes down to the furnace. Sorry, that cool martini glass is not included. But the stirrer stick is, so life is good.

For the Man Room you could die in, this is the bar. It converts in second from an excellent “ordinary” bar to the amazingly cool Vegas-style gaming table you see above. After the break, we’ll see how it looks like in “cocktail mode”:

Close your eyes and imagine the perfect beer and exactly the right temperature, every time. That cold, satisfying feeling that only beer on tap right in your own man room, home bar, or kitchen can give? The Vinotemp beer tap has adjustable temperature, is C02-powered, and holds up to five liters. This is a green-friendly machine with it’s energy efficient thermo-electric cooling system, and comes with three C02 cartridges to get you started right. The beer is sadly not included. With the slick silver-n-black finish and whisper-quiet cooling, this is first class all the way.

Silver bullets aren’t just good for killing werewolves, they also make killer cocktails. This sleek, retro-style stainless steel drink mixer holds 18 ounces of Cosmopolitans, Margaritas, or James Bond-approved Martinis (shaken, not stirred). It’s also a nice way to judge how things are progressing on a home dinner date. Whip this puppy from underneath the bar and see how she reacts. If the conversation takes a turn for the dirty, you’re well on your way. If she starts talking shop about Sigmund Freud, you’re probably screwed, so mix an extra strong one for yourself.
