The $40 Carl Metens Wine Thermometer clips on a bottle to gauge temperature within a minute, without the need for batteries or external power. A heat-sensitive band (reminiscent of stick-on fever thermometers) measures the level of chill while the satin steel wrap lists the optimal drinking temperatures for popular varietals. Given that most of us consume white wine "cold" and red wine "room temp", this added precision could take our drinking hobby to the next level, though it won't stop us from swallowing copious amounts of samples during our next tasting.
