Peasants. Your wine cellar should keep your collection at the perfect ambient temperature!

Don't need one and not sure what I'd do with one either but ordered one anyway :confused:

What on earth do you need this for ! but I ordered three for presents, brilliant, thanks dona :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks, ordered as a gift!

Rude not to, at that price.

Great gift idea to give with wine. At this price rude not to!

get this out when the waiter gives you a taster, just to be sure...

Bought one for my wife and she said, 'You can stick that up your jacksie (cleaned up)'!

No, I said, 'You stick it in your wine'. :stuck_out_tongue:

Had to check my dogs temp the other day, ordered a couple as these could come in handy!

You don't need a thermometer - you can just use your little finger. If the wine feels wet then it's drinkable.

I bought one, I like wine but not sure I'll ever use it.

Ordered, thanks

Bought three!! Don't really know why?? One for me & two for presents??

Bought 2. And actually have a use for them.

Wonder if they'll be full range so you can use them for checking meat cookednessness. My other digital thermometer got left in a joint and put back in the oven and it's quite horrific looking.

It's great just reading something off the internet and pretending you know a lot right? By the time your red wine breathes in the decanter for 30-60 mins, it will normally be just the right temperature to serve. If it has warmed up too much by then, then its no harm to give it a quick blast in the chiller.

With whites, you just stick the bottle in the chiller before serving. How long you chill depends on whether you want to decant it or not. If you want to decant, then you need to factor in the time the wine will be in the decanter before you serve. Unless you have a multizone cellar in which case one zone will typically be set to white wine serving temperature so you move things across to there as and when required.

Its all actually pretty simple. But I'm sure you already know all of the above.

A wine thermometer? This may be the most middle class thing I've seen on here :smile:

I drank someearlier :smiley:

Did you know this without Googling? I'm sure you did, yet you assume, with no knowledge about me whatsoever, that I can't possibly have any knowledge of wine so I Goggled it?

Why?

Yes I did actually. I have thousands of pounds of wine in my cellar, so I know wine reasonably well. And yes, I do assume that you don't have much knowledge about wine from your snide and presumptuous first sentence. But you keep digging. Didn't you post something about decanting wine earlier? Did you delete/change it? I guess you did more research and realised you were talking nonsense?
