Electronic
Wine Tester with Thermometer
|
|
With
high-quality wines from several continents now widely available at very
reasonable prices, the early years of the twenty-first century just might be the
best of times for wine lovers. To
make things even better, digital temperature technology has made
possible this inexpensive, easy-to-use Electronic Wine Tester with
Thermometer that will help to maximize your enjoyment of a
variety of popular wines. You simply select your wine type, insert the probe into
the wine bottle, and in a matter of seconds you'll see the current
temperature reading. If you've had your wine in a controlled
environment and the wine needs to be warmed or chilled, you can leave the
probe inserted while the wine temperature changes. The tester will beep to let you know when
your wine
has reached to its optimal temperature zone and is ready to be tasted.

Perfect for wine
connoisseurs, wine beginners, and everyone in between, the Electronic
Wine Tester with Thermometer will help make your wine experiences the
best that they can be by letting you know when your wine is at its
optimum temperature for tasting. Handsome in a matte black easy-grip finish with gray buttons and accents, the Electronic Wine Tester
displays the selected wine type and the current and optimum digital
temperatures in its upper LCD panel and a kinetic temperature bar graph in its
lower LCD panel.

Setting up and using the
Electronic Wine Tester couldn't be easier. Before first use of the
tester, you insert two AA batteries and select °F or °C for
the digital temperature displays by means of a button in the
battery compartment. After replacing the battery compartment
cover, you remove the protective sheath to expose the probe and
then press the ON/OFF button on the base of the handle to power
up the tester. Next, you repeatedly press SELECT (the other button on
the base of the handle) to select your wine type from the 19 that
are available (see below). The wine types appear in
alphabetical order from ALSA for Alsace to ZINFN for zinfandel.
When your wine type is
displayed, insert the probe into the wine bottle so that the
tapered rubber seal
at the base of the probe is in the neck of the bottle.
In just 6 to 10 seconds, the actual temperature of the wine is
displayed along with the optimum temperature. If the wine needs
to warm or chill to reach the optimum, you can leave the probe
in the wine and the tester beeps when the wine is ready to
taste. While the wine is warming or chilling, a temperature bar
graph below the digital temperatures indicates rising or falling
temperature by means of flashing arrow segments above and below
the bar segments that represent the optimal temperature zone. Both
sections of the wine tester's display (wine type with
temperatures, and kinetic bar graph) are backlit. Pressing
either the SELECT button or the LIGHT button on the back of the
handle lights the displays for about 3 seconds. We know
that you're curious about which wine types are available on the
tester, so here's a table that tells you. You'll see this same
information in the tester instructions as well.

About the only item in the
table that I question is the optimum temperature for zinfandel,
which seems quite cold for a red zinfandel but okay for a white
zinfandel. For a dry red zinfandel, I'd use the burgundy or
cabernet setting on the tester. And if you have a wine whose
type is not available as a selection on the tester (for some
reason, Chateau
Ripple immediately comes to mind here), you can still use the
tester to check its temperature, but you'll have to know
the optimal temperature for tasting it. The
length of the Electronic Wine Tester's probe is 4 inches
(102 mm), including the rubber seal that fits into the
bottle's neck. Overall length from handle base to probe end is
9-3/8 inches (238 mm). Please be aware that the wine tester is not
dishwasher-safe and not submersible. All you need to
do after using it is wipe it clean with a damp cloth, dry it
off, and put the protective sheath back in place over the
probe. As mentioned
above, the tester is powered from two AA batteries, and these
are included. We
recommend standard alkaline cells when replacement becomes
necessary. To extend battery life, the
tester shuts off automatically after 30 minutes if you don't
turn it off manually before then. If
you enjoy wine, especially with food, the Electronic Wine
Tester can help you and your guests obtain maximum enjoyment
from the wine (or wines) you serve because you'll know the wine is
at the temperature where its bouquet and flavor are best. Perfect
for virtually any bottled wine from "Two-Buck Chuck"
to Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, the Electronic Wine Tester is an
inexpensive, practical, and fun-to-use instrument that totally
eliminates guesswork as to proper wine temperature. You're
probably thinking that it would make a terrific gift item, and
you're right. But don't forget to be good to yourself and order
one for your own use, too.

We can handle large orders
for nearly anything we have by special order, and quantity
discounts are available.
For quantities of 10 or more, or if you want more than we have in stock, please
email us at sales@partshelf.com,
we'll get back to you with price and availability. We cannot do this over
the phone as it takes time to investigate each situation.

availability problems. We expect to be out of stock for more than a few days.

inventory control system prevents us from taking an order for something we don't have on the shelf.
