Carl Mertens Wine Thermometer

The Carl Mertens Wine Thermometer is one nifty device to have in your wine cellar, as it shows the exact temperature of a bottle without any batteries. All you need to do is clip it around a wine bottle and watch it go to work, coming up with a result within a minute or so thanks to the heat-sensitive band. Just make sure that the temperature remains within the range for the type of wine as indicated before serving it to your guests. I wonder if it is sensitive enough to pick up body temperature – now that would make a great Valentine’s Day gift (assuming the scale is modified of course)! The Carl Mertens Wine Thermometer retails for $39.99 – a small investment if you want to savor the best from your extensive collection of wines.
