Customers frequently mention how the Model Two Wine System preserves wine's freshness and is easy to use and clean. They appreciate the specially designed needle that is gentle on corks. However, some customers find the system to be expensive, and a few have noted that it pours wine slowly. There are also concerns about the cost of Argon gas tubes.
I absolutely love my Coravin and all my Coravin accessories that i’ve Bought. They are the best!

So I unboxed this a couple of days ago, but I didn't have any wine around the house. Since this was going to be a review and I like Two Buck Chuck, I stopped at TJ and picked up a bottle of red and a bottle of white. If there is any downside to this product, it's the instructions. Once you've used it, there isn't much to it, but the first time it would be nice to have instructions with words, not just illustrations with a short caption in multiple languages. Other than that, I love this thing. I took my time making sure I look at the illustration, then the bottle and wine system. It didn't take but a minute or two to have it operational, but when you're trying out something new with an argon gas cartridge, you like to have your ducks in a row. The one step I messed up on is once you puncture the cork, the next instruction says to quickly press the lever and repeat. I didn't pay attention to the bottle being held over a glass and had it standing on my table. Needless to say, it shot (dribbled) a bit of wine. I moved to the kitchen counter and tilted the bottle and repeated the lever press. Two presses and I had enough in the glass to sip. I pulled the insert up out of the bottle as illustrated and rinsed it under cold water. Works great. It comes with a nice box that's molded to hold the unit or it has a bag that can be used. I guess there is one more downside. I see online that I can get the argon gas refills just about anywhere that sells wine and the major online retailer, but Best Buy doesn't stock them locally, at least not at my two locations. Kind of a bummer since I can get them in 2 days from another retailer and not for 8 for BB. Overall, if you enjoy a glass of wine and don't like having to uncork a bottle and letting it air out, this system is for you. A bit pricey, but you'll enjoy it.
