Electronic wine thermometer : Shiny Shiny

Personally, I've always opted for the taste test when checking the temp of my vino. Not always the sure fire way to get the optimal temperature but after three glasses you will probably have stopped caring.

Of course being gadget minded, we still like stuff like this electronic wine thermometer. Insert it into any open bottle, choose the right wine on the panel and the LCD display will tell you the current temp and what the wine should be, so you know whether to warm or cool it. £14.95 from Gadgeter.com [Camilla Chafer]
