The integral cohomology groups of the Klein bottle are , , , and zero in higher degrees. The degree-one generator is pulled back from the base circle of the circle-bundle presentation, so its square is zero; hence every product of positive-degree classes vanishes.
The wedge has the same additive integral cohomology as the Klein bottle: in degree zero, in degree one, and in degree two. Products of positive-degree classes vanish because the degree-one class comes from the circle summand, so its cohomology ring is isomorphic to that of the Klein bottle.
