Wine Industry Report

Nuvo Vino announces the first wine thermometer designed to quickly and accurately measure the temperature of the wine itself. Designed to be relished by sommeliers and everyday wine
drinkers alike, the Nuvo Vino Wine Thermometer utilizes the latest handheld
infrared technology to quickly measure temperature without touching the
wine.

Another first is the patent-pending retractable sensor. Nuvo Vino
president Andrew Lumpkin explains, “An unprotected sensor is nothing more
than a lint collector. Our retractable sensor keeps the sensor free of dust
and lint to ensure accurate results, and with no lens cap to remove, it
takes only one hand to operate. Plus, it looks like a Bond gadget!”

Nuvo Vino makes it clear that the consumer experience is the most
important design consideration. For ultimate usability, the Nuvo Vino Wine
Thermometer takes only one hand to operate and easily measures the bottle,
glass or the wine itself.

But why is wine temperature so important? “All the sophisticated
technology and beautiful details add up to one thing: maximizing every
bottle for the most enjoyment,” says Lumpkin. “The best way to make a $30
bottle taste like a $5 bottle is to serve it at the wrong temperature,
although temperature is crucial no matter what the bottle costs.”

Nuvo Vino notes that the term “room temperature” is dated. Modern
central heating systems cause rooms to exceed 72 degrees F. At that
temperature, all wines lose their appeal. Another myth is that white wine
should be served out of the refrigerator. At 40 degrees F, any wine’s aroma
and flavor will be completely imprisoned.

To assist the wine lover, Nuvo Vino has also compiled the most
comprehensive and interactive database of recommended serving temperatures
at http://www.nuvovino.com/temperature. There, enthusiasts find that Nuvo Vino has
cataloged over 400 wine types from all over the world.

The Nuvo Vino Wine Thermometer is available for immediate purchase
directly from http://www.nuvovino.com or at many fine wine stores. The US
wholesale distributor is The Wine Appreciation Guild.

About Nuvo Vino
Nuvo Vino was founded in Englewood, Colorado, in 2005 by Andrew Lumpkin
and his father, Wayne Lumpkin. The two gained substantial design,
manufacturing and marketing experience running Avid, a leading bicycle
component company founded by Wayne. Wayne’s extensive design experience has
awarded him dozens of US and international patents. During his tenure at
Avid, Wayne became enamored with wine and quickly realized the importance
of proper serving temperature. Disappointed in the selection of
thermometers in the market, he decided to design his own. The result: the
finest wine thermometer ever made. Nuvo Vino strives to create the highest
quality wine-related products concentrating on enriching the consumer’s
experience.
