To fully enjoy the aroma and flavors of wine, it has to be served at the optimal temperature.  But most of us don’t have a way to gauge a wine’s temperature before it’s served.  Sticking a cooking thermometer into a bottle of wine isn’t very classy, so that’s where the Wine Bottle Thermometer from Crate & Barrel comes in to save the day.

It’s a stainless steel thermometer that wraps around a 750ml wine bottle that indicates the wine temperature.  A reference guide of wine types are also printed on the thermometer to show you which ones are to be served at certain temperatures.  At $8.95, it’s an affordable piece of wine gadgetry for wine enthusiasts and wanna-be wine snobs.
