Inspired by the first modern-style thermometer created by Ferdinando II de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, in around 1654, Italian designer Sono Mocci has come up with an innovative temperature measurement device that replaces mercury with red wine (liquid) to indicate the temperature. Entitled the “Linea Rouge,” the alcohol thermometer makes use of capillary glass tube, which is filled red liquid that goes up and down according to the rise and fall in the temperature. Based on the analog method, the wall-mounted thermometer presents a simple yet practical way to measure the temperature.
