Forget the probes and the infra-red devices -- this is simple to use and it works. Remember to grasp the back tabs of the device so it snugs up to the wine bottle for the best reading.

Very clever device!!!! However, I bought it new for $7 under the name of Soma Wine Thermometer in a liquor store in Ohio this March.

Bought 2 and both would only display the same temperature (74) regardless of true bottle temperature.

Got this as a present for my wife. I just thought it was another gizmo that'd wind up in a drawer within a week or so, but she really likes the thing!

I bought 2 of these thermometers to replace the two I had. I bought two wine thermometers by Turning Leaf a few years back and over time ended up accidentally throwing them out with the wine bottles. I put the thermometer on the bottle, get the wine to the right temperature, open the wine to have with dinner, and after dinner, while cleaning up, I throw the bottle and thermometer out in the garbage. I'm thinking of hot gluing a chain to the thermometer. This is the biggest issue with this thermometer, it's so easy to throw it out with the bottle.
This particular thermometer(1-7/16" tall) is smaller than the ones I use to have, therefore the numbers are small. If you're having a candle lit dinner you probably won't be able to read the numbers because they are faint and need light on them to show up well. Also, the metal that makes up the body of the thermometer can be carefully bent to better conform to the shape of the wine bottle. One of the two thermometers I bought needed this done, which I did by hand. You might also be able to wrap it around a 20oz bottle of pop to reshape it and get better contact on the wine bottle. It won't work without good contact.
After all that I still like it... a lot! It is very accurate, with both thermometers I got agreeing with each other and agreeing with a thermometer that has a probe to put into the wine. My wife also likes the listing of the different wines and their range of temperatures on the face of the thermometer. I like that I don't have to stick something into the wine, and all that mess, just to get the temperature. Since I seem to like to throw these out it's nice that the price is so low.

Ordered the KIKKERLAND Perfect Temperature Wine Thermometer Bottle Cuff, it was a big HIT at my secret Santa gift exchange!

It works fine and orient about kind of wine and his temperature.

I got a few of these as gifts for members of my wedding party. They were really flimsy and a little cheap looking, which was embarrassing. Since I didn't get one for myself, I can't attest to how well it works. Although - no one has mentioned them since, which means they aren't really something to rave about, or they thought they were disposable. If you are buying these as a gift, make sure to include a bottle of wine to go with - to up the presentation a little.
