How do you measure wine temperature?

Er, with a thermometer - how else. (You can buy devices sold as wine thermometers.)

This one's good, although some of the recommendations of temperature at which to serve a particular wine are somewhat arbitrary.

Never done that, and never felt the need to. Whites come out of the fridge. I have a thermometer both in my cellar and in the dining room. When I need to cool whites fast, I let them in running cold water in the basin in the bathroom. We are fortunate enough, here in Vienna, to have tap water that is around 8°C (46°F) in winter and 10°C (50°F) in summer.

Simple. There's a liquid crystal plastic strip thermometer which you place around the bottle.

The colour of the LCD display changes.

Some time ago in California, I saw a thin plastic band being sold at wine dealers which had liquid crystal areas (each bearing temperature numbers) that became visible at different temperatures. The band was designed to be wrapped around a bottle. I don't know who made it or if it is still being sold. But, someone thought of your concept.

Back about 1981, I purchased 5,000 of those thermometers to give away at conventions with our company name on them. At that time the retail price was less than $5us and they were on a metal sleve. Those liquid crystal strips are pretty but they seldom work more than 7 or 8 months. I had one (1) that lasted 5 years. Bill

FWIW I had in mind a glass thermometer you stick INTO the wine. No rocket science involved, though you can get electronic gizmos you dunk in too.

Surely, the BEST the plastic strips can do is tell you the temperature of the outside of the bottle.
