CORAVIN WINE PRESERVATION SYSTEM

Photo: Coravin

Premier wine technology company Coravin is renowned for its technology that preserves wine for years while allowing users to pour wine without ever removing the cork. Their technology relies on a tiny needle that passes through corks without moving the cork material and once the wine is extracted, the cork simply expands back to its normal size and oxygen never touches the remaining wine. Now, Coravin has launched their newest product: a preservation system for sparkling wines. The product is portable and easy to use with a universal-fit stopper. Its hand-held charging unit also means you can maintain the carbonation levels between pours, and it provides sparkling wines with up to two weeks of preservation.
