Zooming in on one mundane yet infinitely enigmatic object at a time, every issue of MacGuffin combines scrupulous research with design geekery to present a thick volume of illuminating, satisfying reading.

In this issue:

• A parade of down-market perfumes
• Messages squeezed into bottles
• Recipes for the perfect Molotov cocktail
• The curated contents of celebrity fridges
• The racism rife in the wine business
