“I’ll have whatever’s open,” how often have you heard (or said) this? As a guest at a dinner party, the last thing you want to do is make your host open a bottle of Chardonnay while everyone else is drinking Cab. Enter Coravin. The Coravin System is the first tool of its kind that allows you to serve, pour, and enjoy whatever wine you want, in any quantity, at any time, without waste or compromise.
Here’s how it works:
So, what?
So, this means you never have to open a bottle of wine (if you don’t want to). This is a fantastic tool for wine collectors who don’t want to risk opening bottles of fine wine if they’re not 100% sure that they want to finish it in one sitting, and for solo wine drinkers who only want a single glass of wine. But Coravin also allows you to drink wine in a way that has never been possible before.
What about those nights when your husband can’t wait to dip into his favorite bottle of Chablis, but you’ve been craving Merlot all evening? Or have you ever tasted Pinot Noirs from California, New Zealand, Oregon, Australia, and France side-by-side, all in one evening? Of course not, because you’d never open five bottles at once with only a few people. With Coravin, you don’t have to worry about opening bottles, because you don’t have to.
Come find us at IFBC ’15 to learn more about the Coravin System, and see it in action Friday evening at the opening reception! We look forward to seeing you there.
Stop opening. Start Tasting.
