Coravin Model Eleven Wine Preservation System
One Scouted contributor's dad is quite a wine connoisseur, so the associated gadgetry is an important part of the experience. His dad has an earlier version of this Coravin wine preservation system and uses it constantly. It uses argon gas to preserve your wine in the bottle when you don't want to drink the whole thing. Gas pressure is used to dispense however much you want over time. Whether you have a friend who actually knows a lot about wine or a family member who sticks to the same Cote du Rhone all year long, they'll appreciate this device. This Napa Technology wine station takes wine dedication and preservation to a whole different level, but its price tag is definitely not for everyone.
