Coravin - Model One Wine System - White/Blue

I purchased this for my wife, who has a glass of wine once, or twice a week. I was getting tired of tossing half full bottles, due to them going bad using other methods of sealing. I will admit, early on I had issues with being able to lay the bottles flat after inserting the needle. I discovered that I needed to let more gas in, before pulling it out. I have had no problems since. The gas canisters are kind of expensive to replace. But, it's still cheaper than throwing away half full bottles of good wine.

I have to say I was pretty skeptical, but I bought this as a gift and put it through its paces. It really works. It is a bit pricey, but if you have a wine drinker in the house and don't want to finish the whole thing in one evening, then this device should be considered. In the past, we have thrown away countless "1/2" bottles of wine that went bad after a week or so, but the Coravin Wine System has solved that problem. One caveat, if you get a bottle of wine that has the "plastic" cork, you will see a little dripping as those corks really don't "re-seal" well. Just be sure to keep the bottle upright after using the Coravin. This is a fun gadget that really works. Give it a try.

The product was great, however the directions that came with the unit was not really any help. There are just a lot of unanswered questions. I was not sure if i had to remove the needle if i did not finish the bottle or does the needle act as a preservative. I watched several videos on youtube which were all contradiction one another. If the unit is left on top of the bottle it becomes top heavy and tips over breaking the very expensive needle that is used to pour the wine.

If you only have 1 -2 glasses a wine and want to keep the remaining wine fresh, the Coravin is for you. The gas canisters are a bit pricey but you will never throw out spoiled wine again.

It’s wonderful for that bottle of expensive wine ,you only want 1 glass of one night after work.

This device does what it says and provides all promised. Only issue is the reoccurring expense for the small CO2 cartridges that you tend to go through rapidly. Don't waste your money!

This device works quite well. Wine stays fresh, and you can enjoy a glass without consuming an entire bottle or tossing the remaining wine

Works even better and more easily than expected. I no longer need to decide whether or not to open a bottle - I can just drink whatever I want and not worry about wasting any or needing a special occasion to drink an expensive bottle.
