How to keep your Sparkling wine from going flat

Sparkling Joy

Do you ever hesitate to open a bottle of Sparkling wine because you just want one glass? Coravin has the solution!

Imagine being able to come home and start every evening with a great glass of sparkling wine,” says Greg Lambrecht, Coravin inventor and founder.

One of the reasons we don’t do this is that once you’ve opened a bottle of Sparkling wine, it’s difficult to keep it fresh for days, much less weeks. Instead, we end up drinking more than we’d intended, or wasting precious drops.

Not anymore, thanks to Coravin. The launch of their very first sparkling wine preservation system, will see you keeping Champagne, Prosecco, Cava and Australian Sparkling wines fresh in bottle for two weeks after opening.

Imagine being able to open a bottle one Saturday night for a pre-dinner drink, then finishing it at brunch the following weekend. Whether you’re celebrating the end of a long day, or kicking off the weekend, now you
can pop any bottle of sparkling wine without hesitation.

While the technology behind this new innovation is impressive, taking eight years to develop, the premise is simple. The key is the preservation of the crisp flavours and effervescence, and the Coravin Sparkling™ Sparkling Wine Preservation System does this by using capsules of CO2 to stop the bubbles in sparkling wines escaping and to prevent oxidation.

Once locked, the stopper maintains the same level of pressure found in a bottle of sparkling wine before it is opened. This effect lasts for two weeks, guaranteeing that the last glass will taste just as amazing as the first.

And it doesn’t matter which style or brand of bubbles you prefer, the new system uses a universal Sparkling Stopper that fits on all sparkling bottles.

Coravin products are used and trusted by wine professionals around the world and come in colours, finishes, and silhouettes that complement your preferred aesthetic.

As Greg sums up, “I wanted to be able to celebrate any day, or celebrate every day, and particularly as we get out of this pandemic, we have every reason in the world to start celebrating.”
