The Coravin wine dispensing system is an amazing technology. It allows you to extract some of the wine from the bottle, ensuring the remainder retains its full flavor, as if the bottle had never been opened. It was developed in 2011 by American scientist Greg Lambrecht and has since been widely used by sommeliers and collectors around the world.
1. How does Coravin work?
It operates using argon technology:
- A surgical-grade stainless steel needle pierces the cork.
- An inert gas (argon) is injected under pressure, forcing the drink into the glass.
You can sample different bottles without opening the bottle completely.
2. What is it suitable for?
- Collectible drinks (to avoid opening an expensive bottle for a single glass)
- Bars and restaurants (tastings by the glass)
- Home use (if you don't want to finish the bottle in 1-2 days)
Restrictions:
- Not suitable for bottles with screw caps, cork chips, or wax seals.
- Not recommended for very old wines (the cork may be fragile).
Key Advantages of the System
Advantages:
- The drink doesn't oxidize and retains its flavor.
- You can taste the wine as it ages (for example, to follow the evolution of Bordeaux).
- Savings – you don't have to finish the whole bottle.
Coravin is the best choice for wine connoisseurs who want to keep a bottle for years to come. It's worth the investment. Coravin in Cyprus is available at Punin Wine.
How to Use the Device Correctly
The Coravin wine system operates on a simple principle based on the laws of physics: a thin, hollow needle is pierced through the cork and immersed, creating positive pressure using argon gas, thereby blocking the air supply. This does not negatively affect the aroma or flavor. The drink then flows into the glass, and the needle is removed from the cork. The cork, thanks to its natural elasticity, then compresses and seals the hole, protecting from oxidation.
-
Place the gadget on top of the bottle and pierce the cork with the needle in a vertical downward motion.
- Tilt the bottle so the bottom is above the neck. Press the trigger and fill the glass.
-
Remove the needle from the cork, then place the tool on the special stand.
The bottle can be stored in any position: lying down, tilted or standing.
