Coravin Timeless Three Wine Pres. system
$399.99
The Coravin wine preservation system has become the standard tool of the trade for wine importers and collectors alike. It allows you to draw measured amounts of wine from a sealed bottle while injecting a harmless inert gas blanket on top of the remaining wine. The claim is that it will preserve the wine for years, something we have not had the opportunity to put to the test, but there is no doubt the system works. Last week we tasted a top-notch Oregon Pinot Noir from Cristom that had been under Coravin gas for several months, and the wine was perfectly intact. The kit includes the Coravin Three, 2 gas cartridges, 2 screw caps (as there are now plenty of premium wines under screwcap) and one aerator.
Additional capsules can be purchased as well, allowing you to pour up to 15 five-ounce (150ml) glasses of wine. If someone feels like a glass of really good wine but doesn't want to commit to drinking the bottle, the Coravin system just might be the ticket.
