+ nycman Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 https://www.coravin.com Has any one used one of these devices at home? For some reason, I hate having wine poured out of the spigot. Nonetheless, the reality of living alone is that I’ll never finish an entire bottle of wine solo, and my wine cellar is in serious danger of out living me. It seems a sensible solution. Any experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBiDude Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Ironically…a friend of mine just yesterday was praising the Coravin system. I’ve not used it myself…I still use a simpler one on occasion: Amazon.com WWW.AMAZON.COM + nycman and rvwnsd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taecfan Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 It's the industry standard system for pouring wine without exposing the bottle to oxygen. A lot of nicer wine bars and restaurants use it for the expensive wines they offer by the glass. I'd recommend it if you got some nice bottles you want to drink without a time limit. I got one on sale and enjoy using it for something nicer that I wanna drink without drinking the whole bottle. + nycman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any experience? Ive used mine probably a grand total of 6 times. I got it from QVC and as a wine lover I thought it would be useful since I live alone as well. I think its just a waste of money and kinda gimmicky + nycman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_n_NYC Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) I looked into this system when it came out since there are nights when the SO works late (being a nurse) and I have to have my vino. I don't remember exactly what I read, but I decided against it. I just keep a half bottle on the counter and when I open a bottle that I know I won't finish, I pour half into that bottle and recork it. It also keeps me from drinking more if I start loosening up as the evening goes on and might drink more if it's close at hand.
