Wine

[lugan]

I like my reds to taste cool on the tongue, but not cold.
I like my whites cold on the tongue, not cool.
But then I prefer reds during cold weather, and whites on warm days. Often it doesn't matter and depends more on what's in the fridge or cupboard. If the fridge is empty and only a white is in the cupboard, the white goes to the freezer. If the cupboard is empty and the fridge is empty and the basement is empty, I curse my lack of foresight. If I forget the white is in the freezer, the temp will save me the trouble of uncorking the bottle, but I will have to wait for the thaw. I have not yet made this error with a screwtop white.
If anybody knows of a good low cost thermometer for wine, please post ASAP. For the World Record we should of course all be at the same temperature, how about 65, in honor the "The Great Society":
