The Kelvin K2 uses the latest Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity, combined with recent advances in aerial technology, to send the temperature information to your smartphone (often from inside your refrigerator).
The free iOS or Android app then monitors your wine as it is chilling and provides as much or as little information as you need to get the best from every bottle of wine.
Why
For most wine drinkers the notion of serving 'chilled white wines' and red wines at 'room temperature' is a common generalisation, but the reality is that most serve their whites far too cold and their red wines far too warm which significantly affects the wines flavour profile and of course adversely affects the drinkers enjoyment.
The Kelvin K2 Smart wine thermometer has been designed to demystify the process of enjoying your wine with its best possible flavour.
How
Simply download the free Kelvin K2 app from the App store or Google Play (dependant on your smartphone) and let Kelvin guide you through the simple process of selecting your favourite wine by style or type;
8 simple wine styles (Full bodied red wine, light bodied white wine etc)
Over 200 wine types (Chardonnay or Pinot Noir for example)
Once your wine is selected the K2 will automatically adjust the optimum temperature and the ideal temperature zone to exactly match experts and vineyard recommendations and provide interesting data on the background of your wine choice, providing information on;

The K2 temperature settings are also fully adjustable to take into account the most important wine drinker of all - you. The only opinion that matters when it comes to taste is your own and all the K2s recommendations are fully adjustable and your favourite wines can be served at your ideal temperature time and time again by use of the favourite function. It is a liberating level of control over your wines flavour. Once you start to understand how temperature affect your wine you can emphasise what you like and diminish what elements you don't.
