All home winemakers will have a need for a basic thermometer. Temperature is not quite as critical in winemaking as it is in brewing, but making sure the fermentation temperature is in the proper range is important. Some winemakers like to float a thermometer in the must just to be sure the must is not too cold which could inhibit fermentation.
Another simple option is a 'stick-on' thermometer which can be stuck on your fermenter so that you can adjust the must temperature or fermenting environment. If you find the environment too cool, you can wrap a heating belt around your fermenter to raise the temperature.
