Winetastic

For the wine geeks among us:

Laser Wine Thermometer
The lazy man’s thermometer, this is a nifty little gadget. You simply sit back, point the thermometer at the bottle of wine, and with the press of a button the thermometer registers the internal temperature of the wine.

Delong’s Wine Variety Table
This looks the business and would be a great talking point. Its an interesting poster that gives a visual way to look at wine grape varietals in a spectrum. It covers descriptions from the common wines right through to the very obscure.

The Cork Fish
There have been a couple of occasions where a cork has broken when cracking a bottle, and the only recourse is to push it into the bottle. Problem with that - cork chunks in the wine the rest of dinner. At last a gadget that proposes to solve this problem.

The Wine Clip
This is an interesting one… Allegedly, this clip puts “high intensity” magnets around the neck of your wine bottle and as the wine passes through the magnets, the change in magnetic field produces a chemical reaction that “reconfigures the wine’s natural tannins and certain impurities, creating a silkier flavor and finish.”

The “Unbreakable” Wine Glass
Big time quotes around “Unbreakable” here because it’s clearly marketing, but Schott-Zwiesel has a wine glass that is apparently break resistent and dishwasher safe whilst being as clear and delicate as a high-end Riedel glass.
