An intelligent corkscrew device which determines the temperature of the bottle and informs the consumer as to what type of wine is suitable for that temperature. In a preferred embodiment, the corkscrew provides a temperature readout. Alternative embodiments provide entertainment features such as voice or other audio indications related to the temperature. Still other embodiments include visual indication such as lamps which indicate what type of wine would be proper for the temperature of the bottle being measured. The corkscrew uses thermal measurement of the exterior of the wine bottle to measure the temperature. The measurement is made by a temperature sensing device on the end of the lever arm. Alternatively, an infrared temperature sensor can be used to measure the contents of a bottle without coming in contact with the bottle. Specific infrared frequencies are used to penetrate the class used in the bottle to allow measurement of the liquid inside. |
