Zyliss Wine Thermometer

[RAD]

My wife bought the aforementioned gadget for me as a gift recently, and until I dropped it on the floor last week, breaking it to smithereens, it was one of the most enlightening wine gifts I've received to date.

With it came a fridge magnet listing appropriate temperatures to serve wine:

*full bodied reds, 59-63 F.
*light bodied reds, 59-61 F.
*dry white wines, 48-50 F.
*champagnes, 45-48 F.

I cannot believe how much this little gadget has made me appreciate my wines even more. It truly makes a difference. And I've red things like putting a wine in the fridge "for about 10 minutes." Let me be the first to say that putting wine in the fridge from room temperature (around 70 degrees) for ten minutes will lower the temperature by about a degree, no more. Starting from around 70, I've found that it takes about 8-10 minutes in the fridge to lower the wine a single degree.

The correct temperature at which to drink wines sparks many a debate (I recall Bucko saying he liked his whites the same temperature as his reds, and when quaffed around the 60 mark, I'd probably agree), but this little gadget makes it fun. Anyone else use this?
