Do infrared thermometers measure wine temperature inside a bottle?
No. IR thermometers measure surface temperature, not internal temperature. The Nuvo Vino Non-Contact Thermometer is a passive device that uses infrared technology to sense radiation to measure temperature. Therefore, it measures surface temperature of an object, not internal temperature. Some competing products claim to measure internal temperature. These claims are false. The most effective way to measure serving temperature is to measure the wine itself, not the bottle or glass.
