The Easiest Way to Keep Wine Fresh Is This Gadget — And It’s on Sale Right Now

It’s the age-old dilemma of anyone who’s failed to finish the bottle: how to keep your wine from going stale.

“Once a bottle is opened, it starts to oxidize,”writes our Executive Wine Editor Ray Isle。“葡萄酒氧化亚搏电竞时,他们开始失去freshness — in a sense, the ‘aliveness’ of their aromas and flavors.”

Thankfully, you can have your (uncorked) wine and drink it too with the help of one of our favorite tools, the Coravin. It sidesteps the whole business of opening a bottle with its patented system that uses a thin needle to penetrate the cork without creating a hole. The sponge-like cork resumes its shape after removing the needle, and the wine remains sealed and protected from oxygen.

Customers rave about how easy the Coravin is to use, as well as how it allows wine lovers to savor a taste without actually consuming the entire bottle.

“We like to enjoy a glass or two per week, and now we can do that with our nicer club wines without feeling guilty about spoiling the bottle,”威廉姆斯写道:一位评论家在索诺玛。“If I want a glass of Tempranillo one night and an Oregon Pinot another, it's totally fine. I got a few nicer cabs for graduating from law school and picked up our Coravin at the same time. Sampling each was a surreal experience. However, I didn't totally trust the Coravin until going back to a bottle I ‘opened’ two months earlier. These are pricey, but they open up the world of wine the way it should be and I'm completely happy we pulled the trigger. One small caveat is that it takes a while to pour a glass — what feels like a minute to get a 5-[ounce] pour. Small price to pay if you ask me.”
