Coravin – The Perfect Gift for Winelovers in Your Life

Where have you been all my life Coravin? Today I want to wax lyrical about a new product I'm absolutely in love with; Coravin.

Backstory

One thing I struggle with on occasion is discipline with wine. Especially during the first lockdown where I was spending a lot of time in front of the tele, crushing it on Netflix. 

It became so easy to open a bottle of wine, order the Deliveroo, devour said bottle of wine simply because it was open, and lose 3 hours. 

I don't want to open a bottle of wine and commit to the whole bottle. Not even when the F1 is on. Coravin is a device that enables a more flexible way of drinking. It allows one to dip into multiple bottles at once without worrying about wastage. No compromises, just choices.

I'll drink whatever's open

You no longer have to subject your future party guests to this old notion. In theory every bottle could be open. The Coravin Model Six includes intuitive SmartClamps™ technology meaning fewer steps for quick on/off the bottle experience. (Yes no more Basil Fawlty-esque opening of wine bottles between your knees).  Once the bottle is open you're no longer obligated to finish it in one sitting for fear of it going bad over time. The Model Six preserves the remaining bottle for weeks, months, or even years.

My only quandary now is that I may have to invest in that wine cellar after all. Oh well, a happy headache to have. 

How to use the Coravin 

This is the part I really like, to quote Scaramanga, who was a wine aficionado himself. He enjoys a wine that according to Bond is 'slightly reminiscent to a '34 Mouton' served by Nick Nack in the company of Bond and Mary Goodnight in The Man with the Golden Gun. 

I digress. 

To use the device, simply align the SmartClamps™ with the bottle and push down in a single motion. Tip, pour, remove, and enjoy. Each Model Six comes with a Screw Cap accessory, unlocking more wines than ever before. (Yes maybe it might be time to evict my lodger and start drawing up plans for that wine cellar). 

Who is it for? 

For me certainly. I'm getting some great use out of this device and it lends me great optionality when it comes to enjoying various bottles of wine. 

It's the perfect Christmas gift for the wine drinkers and foodies in your life. It's also ideal for entertaining that special date who might be into red, when you're into white and vice versa. Both bottles can stay open, stay fresh and neither of you have to commit. Especially on a school night.
