Corkcicle will keep your wine (both white and red) at the perfect temperature—which may be a challenge for most. According to the brand, "too cold and it could mask the vintner’s uniquely crafted complexities. Too warm and the flavors may take a back seat to the alcohol."  Easy to use and reusable, pick one up today (for $24.95) at Paper Source, located in Annapolis.
