Samsung Puts Google’s Gemini Into Bespoke AI Fridges and Wine Cellars Ahead of CES 2026

Pricing and availability details remain unannounced ahead of a CES 2026 demo.

Overview

  • Samsung confirmed a formal collaboration with Google and Google Cloud to integrate Gemini into Bespoke AI refrigerators and a new Bespoke AI Wine Cellar.
  • The upgraded AI Vision expands food recognition beyond prior limits and can read handwritten or printed labels, automatically adding items to a digital grocery list.
  • AI Food Manager will track ingredients, suggest recipes, and offer shopping guidance based on what the system detects inside the refrigerator.
  • The AI Wine Manager uses a top-mounted camera to identify labels, log details like varietal and vintage, track exact shelf locations, and update inventories in SmartThings.
  • Samsung says the features are planned for 2026 rollouts across Bespoke AI Family Hub, Bespoke AI Hybrid, and Infinite AI Wine Refrigerator models, with product notes citing camera placement limits, no identification in door bins or freezers, and connectivity requirements.
