Wine accessories

Part of the drinking wine is some of the nice accessories –  chillers, gorgeous glasses, corkscrew, alcohol thermometer, wine stoppers and decanters all the excellent stuff that goes with wine.
Wine chillers - a refrigerated wine cooler is one of the best ways to keep your wine properly stored and maintained.
Glasses - Choosing the right types of wine glasses is necessary in order to completely enjoy a certain type of wine (white, red, rose, fortified wine).
Decanter - is a vessel that is used to hold the decantation of a liquid (such as wine) which may contain sediment. Decanters are normally used as serving vessels for wine. Decanters vary in shape and design.  
Corkscrew -  is a kitchen tool for drawing corks from wine bottles. Generally, a corkscrew consists of a pointed metallic helix (often called the "worm") attached to a handle. The user grips the handle and screws the metal point into the cork, until the helix is firmly embedded, then a vertical pull on the corkscrew extracts the cork from the bottle. Corkscrews are necessary because corks themselves, being small and smooth, are difficult to grip and remove, particularly when inserted fully into an inflexible glass bottle.
Alcohol thermometer -  is a temperature measuring equipment that is made up of a glass capillary tube that is marked with Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees symbols and contains alcohol that rises when it expands or falls when it contracts due to the change in temperature. Alcohol thermometers are also known as spirit thermometers.
Wine stoppers -  are usually made from glass, pewter, crystal, and stainless steel for sealing your bottles instead of corks.
