Cork Pops Electric Wine Thermometer

I usually use my lips as the thermometer. If the wine is too hot, I might move it out of the sun or put ice in it. If it’s too cold, I hold the glass. Works pretty well but is admittedly crude…

Ummm, it’s not that kind of thermometer.

I’ll take unnecessary and drawer-cluttering wine bobbles for $200, Alex.

I’m gradually assembling a great collection of wine geeky gifts from here and elsewhere. Soon I will be able to put together some great gift baskets for my wine-loving friends…throw in some chocolates (maybe, or cheese?) and a bottle or two and I’ll be set.
Thermometer is definitely one of those geeky sorts of things I don’t think most folks would buy for themselves but they might enjoy playing with if someone bought one for them.

A couple more aerators would be good, though…(cough, cough)

Not true.

The perfect temperature for serving is just that. It takes into account what will be happening to the wine over the course of drinking (during which it should develop more complex flavors, the tannins should yield, the alcohol will evaporate, etc.).

Only if you pull it out early.

This might have been a ridiculous item, but the comments were fantastic :wink:
