Cabernet Couch: Wine Jug Couch by Carlo Rossi

That’s the Cabernet Couch, made from 33 empty Cabernet jugs and vintage corduroy futon mattress for the winemaker Carlo Rossi.

In what can only be called a strange yet utterly fascinating effort to turn the image of wine jugs from being associated with drunk winos into haute couture, Carlo Rossi also has the Chardonnay Chandelier ("jug count: 33"), Burgundy Bookshelf (jug count: 28), Paisano Plasma TV Stand, and more.

    42 years ago, Bob Dylan wrote one of his funniest odd songs, "Leopard-skin Pill-Box Hat." He claims that a hat matching that description "balances on your head just like a mattress balances on a bottle of wine."

    Bob was always a prophet at all times...

    I am amused and now I'm picturing this couch in the apartment of "The Ladies Man."
