Abstract
Abstract A receptacle for holding liquid includes a temperature measuring device to measure the temperature of the liquid contained therein. The receptacle may be a stemmed wine glass which includes a thermometer in the stem. The thermometer has a bulb with a tip adjacent to or extending into the bowl of the wine glass. Thus, the temperature of the contents of the wine glass may be easily measured to establish whether the wine has been stored and poured at the correct temperature.
