Article claims this fridge is colder than a regular one "to facilitate fermentation", but this doesn't make any sense. Fermentation is completely stopped in a regular fridge, you need higher temperature for fermentation.

Also this is not corroborated by any of the references in the article, which make no such claims about temperature. I am sure there are interesting reasons why one might want such a dedicated fridge, but the wikipedia article doesn't elucidate this mystery. The wikipedia article is basically garbage.
