While beer cans and bottles may come with special labels to indicate the correct temperature, but such a thing is rare on wine bottles. That doesn't mean there aren't thermometers to indicate the temperature of a bottle of wine, but they must be purchased separately. Just this week I found a few Kikkerland Wine Bottle Thermometers on sale at Target which indicate the temperate of the wine bottle and display the recommended temperature for different styles of wine.
This style is simple, but handy for those who might try different styles of wine. Its on the cheaper end, but the band is flexible to fit different sized wine bottles. It uses a chemical reaction to illuminate the temperature, as can be seen in the following picture:
For those who prefer a digital readout, there are many types of thermometers in this style as well. This Digital Wine Thermometer by Trudeau also contains a listing of recommended serving temperature for common styles and supports both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
To best enjoy a glass of wine, its important that it is served at the right temperature. And whether you choose an analog or digital thermometer, either one can help ensure wine is served at the optimal temperature.
