You're right, the height of the stemware does look great, but is uncomfortable for most people to use. We have a set similar to this, a gift, that sits in my crystal cabinet. I'd stick to Reidel.

I guess that's the question, so you would keep a thermometer on the table and test it occasionally?

I guess what I'm getting at is that there must be a better way to have the wine be at the right temperature. Most people don't even try, meaning their wine tastes anywhere from OK to pretty awful. In my taste test it was amazing how truly undrinkable a wine became at the various 'off' temperatures. You might think it was "well ... ok ..." if you hadn't tasted the original. But when you tasted it side by side with the original, suddenly you realized how truly awful the others were.

If it was easier to know, I think more people would try!

We used one of those metal clip-on-the-bottle temperature things in the experiment and it was awful. So that doesn't work.

I have two theories. One is the stick-on thermometer, sort of like they have for kids foreheads. You just stick it on the bottle or decanter and it tells you all the time exactly what the current temperature was. They could make a light colored version that was small and just covered the 10 degree range in question for a wine. So it'd be small, discreet, easy to use. I should find someone to make them and make a trillion dollars <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My second theory is actually out already. There's this effect called the Pelltier effect I believe, in essence it's used to heat or cool electronics. You send an electric current through it and it can heat or cool something based on the current. So when you build a tube out of this, you can either make heat go in (warming the bottle) or heat go out (cooling the bottle). And it's attached to a thermostat so it does it automatically. All you do is dial the tube to be say at 64F and POOF this device keeps it at 64F, gently. No vibrations or anything.

I want to get one of these Pelltier things and try it! I was curious what people did normally though <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Look! This is the kind I use for winemaking already, but they say they CAN MAKE THEM FOR WINE DRINKERS!! I'm going to write them to see if I can get some made up. Wouldn't it be cool??
