Coravin Limited Edition Preservation System and Wine Bottle Opener, Includes 4 Argon Capsules, Steel Blue

PERFECT for a glass of wine, without opening bottle. Worth the $$$$ saved by not having to pour re- corked wine away. Have read that it doesn't work on synthetic corks.

I purchased this for my wife as a Crimmus gift of tge Amazon Truck. I had previously seen it being used by my wine reps but the cost was rather extravagant at the time. Anyway, this thing is perfect for corked wine. Whether you just want a glass or two rather than the whole bottle or you want to sample different bottles on a given night without feeling like you have to finish them. It was a lil tricky getting the pour process right. Once you figure out the mechanics (basically using a compressed gas to push put the liquid), however, it's a snap. If you have a full wine fridge (in our case, two) and it's on sale, highly recommended.

I bought this after a few years of deliberating on whether or not I needed it. The main thing that tipped me over the edge to spend the $$ was I have quite a few bottles of wine, and wanted to taste some but not drink the entire bottle...with COVID I do not have much opportunity to socialize so tend to not be able to drink a bottle of wine before it starts to oxidize. The Coravin works really well, and is easy to use. The Limited Edition which I bought looks nice, but for the price point I would have expected different materials than plastic for the main frame and bottle holder. Mostly you are paying for the brand and the argon capsules- similar to Nespresso before cheaper alternatives started to appear. I would definitely recommend it if you have the $$ and tend to have several bottles of wine going at the same time (or want to try several at a time). One thing to keep in mind is that it only works with wine bottles that use real cork (metal or faux cork bottletops won't work).

Sold as stainless steel. This is plastic

I love this product but I am disappointed by the cartridges. One only gave me two glasses and pooped out. And they are so expensive to replace. One of the bottles leaked and it didn't work correctly. It's like it only works as advertised 50% of the time. 50/50..

I love having the option to only have one or two glasses of wine without committing to an entire bottle. This is a great product so far.

Excellent product. Exactly what I expected.

Happy that friends suggested it as a gift idea! Looking forward for the holidays.
