A wine thermometer is a thermometer specially designed to measure the temperature of wine. Since different varieties of wine are designed to be served and taste best when consumed at certain temperatures, a wine thermometer offers an easy way for connoisseurs to ensure that their wine is at the optimal temperature.
Buying Guide
Wine thermometers vary widely in terms of price, style and quality. Some are cuffs which fit over the wine bottle, while others, designed to be placed directly into the wine, are shaped more like traditional thermometers. When purchasing a wine thermometer, one should consider how much they want to spend and how precise of an instrument they are looking for. Although some may argue that the cuff-style wine thermometers produce imprecise measurements, as they measure the temperature of the wine bottle, rather than the wine itself, they may be a good choice for amateurs, as many of them list the preferred temperatures for most wine types directly on the instrument.http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywords=wine+thermometer&x=0&y=0 http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?itemId=15007
