Wine Toys


On the market today, are many wine toys and tools (aerators, chillers, thermometers, preservers, etc.), all of which are supposed to enhance the wine experience in some way. Some actually work reasonably well while others are downright silly and stupid. I know I’d be put off if I went somewhere and they had a thermometer sitting in a full bottle of open wine to measure its serving temperature or there were metal ice cubes submerged in a glass of vino to keep it cool. In my mind, treating your wine naturally (chilling in an ice bucket, aeration by decanting, etc.) without much of this paraphernalia is probably a more sanitary and aesthetic way to enjoy the nectar of the grape.
