Claims14
A temperature monitoring and notifying system for reflecting the temperature of wine within a wine bottle relative to a desired temperature for consuming the wine, the system comprising:
- a substrate affixed to a beverage container;
- a first temperature sensitive ink affixed to or integral with the substrate, the first temperature sensitive ink being calibrated to change its appearance when a first desired temperature has been reached;
- and
- a second temperature sensitive ink affixed to or integral with the substrate, the second temperature sensitive ink being calibrated to change its appearance when a second desired temperature has been reached.
A method for monitoring and notifying the user when the approximated temperature of wine within a bottle is below, above or within a predetermined desired temperature range, comprising:
- providing a substrate affixed to a beverage container;
- affixing a first temperature sensitive ink affixed to or integral with the substrate, the first temperature sensitive ink being calibrated to change its appearance when a first desired temperature has been reached;
- and
- affixing a second temperature sensitive ink affixed to or integral with the substrate, the second temperature sensitive ink being calibrated to change its appearance when a second desired temperature has been reached.
