This Wine Preservation System Changed My Drinking Habits
The new Coravin is far superior (and much less pricey) than the old model—and I use it way more.

Scouting Report: The Coravin Pivot is a great improvement on the Coravin. It’s far less expensive, much easier to use, and preserves wine for up to four weeks so you don’t feel the need to finish the bottle once opened.
The Coravin Pivot is the new and improved version of the Coravin and it’s incredibly easy to use. All you do is remove the cork (or screw cap) and then place a Coravin stopper in the bottle. From there, the system slides in through a hole, like a straw, you tilt the bottle as if you were pouring, press a button, and wine comes out of the funnel thanks to a little help from the argon gas capsule. When you’re done pouring, you can pull the system out, close the stopper, and it’s as if there was a cork in it the whole time.

They say you can keep wine good for up to 4 weeks—I made it to about 3 weeks before the bottle became empty, but the wine still tasted delicious at the 3 week mark. I love how easy it is to use—I find myself using it much more frequently than the old model, and limiting my pours of wine to one glass a night. Another nice feature is that since the cork is already removed, if you want to just pull the stopper out and pour, you can (although it won’t stay preserved for as long).
