Superb Wine Technology
When I heard of the Coravin technology I was so excited and impressed...is this the end of tipping-out half finished bottles of good red wine the next day ? Often I drink old wine, wine that oxidises overnight if left in the bottle, wine that is not a touch of it's complex characteristics he next day no matter what I do. Coravin will change all that.
The technology is superb...but whoever uses it, please leave the cap protecting the cork on the bottle. I did not understand the importance of this with an old wine and the very first time that I used the Coravin, the injection of gas into the bottle pushed the cork up half-out of the bottle and the needle through the cork was badly bent. Fortunately Coravin have agreed to replace the needle. I also feel the instructions should carefully address this point. Coravin has advised that the needle easily travels through the wine cap and that was the point I did not appreciate.
