Temperature-Sensitive Wine Label
Staff Writer – November 27, 2004

Wouldn't you like to know when that bottle of wine is just at its best temperature and ready to be served?

Well folks, technology is here to help at least some of us wine lovers.

The label on the Mar de Frades 2003 Albariño, a crisp, fruity white wine produced on the northwest coast of Spain that is just perfect paired with seafood, uses thermo-sensitive ink to let you know when the wine in the bottle are suitably chilled.

In fact, when the wine reaches its optimal serving temperature of 52°F to 55°F (about 11°C to 13°C), a little blue ship appears on top of the aqua waves.

The label was introduced by William Grant & Sons, importers of the Mar de Frades winery, who used it for the first time on the 2003 Allbariño wine.
