Ensuring that your wine is chilled to its optimal temperature isn't an easy feat, but with this digital wine thermometer from Crate and Barrel, measuring your wine's temperature has never been easier.
This metallic cuff clips onto the wine bottle directly. An automatic sensor located on the cuff's back senses when it's in contact with a bottle, and turns on. An LCD screen then offers a readout of the bottle's temperature, while giving suggested temperatures based on the wine's color, vintage, and location of origin.
The digital wine thermometer will definitely bring out the wine snob in you, as you'll quickly learn which temperatures are best for a Californian Pinot Grigio, and Italian Riesling, or an Australian Chardonnay. It's all a matter of clipping the thermometer to your bottle, and letting it do its work.
