See why millions of wine lovers and professionals trust Coravin as the best way to enjoy their wine, anytime.
Redefine How You Enjoy Wine at Home
We believe everyone deserves the freedom to explore any wine, any time.That’s why we’ve developed 3 pioneering wine by-the-glass systems with patented technology, each designed to keep your wine as fresh as the first pour, glass after glass.
Timeless+ Series
ENJOY A GLASS ANYTIME AND KEEP YOUR WINE FRESH, AS IF IT WERE NEVER OPENED
Precision Needle Access:
The ultra-thin medical-grade needle smoothly pierces the natural cork, ensuring no oxygen enters the bottle.
The cork reseals itself naturally, keeping your wine fresh, as if Coravin was never there.
Pure™ Argon Gas Capsule:
Argon gas already present in the winemaking process powers our Timeless wine by-the-glass systems.
Timeless+ replaces the poured wine with argon, to create a protective barrier that halts oxidation.
Timeless Aerator:
The included Coravin Timeless+ Aerator attaches to the spout of your Timeless wine by-the-glass system, simulating 60-90 minutes of decanting instantly.
The Magic of Pouring Wine Without Removing the Cork
Unlike other devices on the market, which only delay the oxidation of your wine, the classic Coravin Timeless Wine by-the-glass system is designed to pour wine without removing the cork.
This means your wine always tastes like it has just been opened—even years later.
Pivot+
EFFORTLESS WINE ENJOYMENT FOR EVERYDAY MOMENTS
Innovative Stopper Design:
Replace the cork or cap with the Pivot Stopper, forming an airtight seal for any bottle type.
Pure™ Argon Gas Capsule:
Argon gas is what sets the Pivot+ wine by-the-glass system apart from other common products on the market.
Why do we use Argon gas?
Argon gas is routinely used in traditional winemaking to protect wine from oxygen.
On opened bottles of wine, the Pivot+ wine by-the-glass system replaces the poured wine with argon. This creates a protective barrier that slows oxidation, enabling you to save the rest of your favorite wines for up to one month after opening.
Perfect Solution for Synthetic Corks and Screwcaps
The Pivot+ Wine by-the-glass system lets you savor your wine on your terms.
By replacing the bottle's closure with a specially designed stopper, Pivot+ allows you to pour as much or as little as you like while injecting Argon gas to shield the remaining wine from oxidation.
Your wine stays fresh and flavorful for up to 4 weeks, so every glass tastes just as vibrant as the first.
Sparkling by-the-glass
ENJOY SPARKLING WINE AT YOUR OWN PACE WITH CORAVIN SPARKLING®
CO₂ Recharge System:
The Coravin Sparkling Charger injects pure CO₂ into the already opened bottle to maintain perfect pressure and freshness for up to 4 weeks.
The charger features a pressure indicator that shows green when the bottle is fully charged and red when the CO₂ capsule is empty.
Airtight Sparkling Stopper:
Locks securely to preserve carbonation and prevent gas escaping.
The Sparkling stopper is the only one in the world that fits any sparkling wine bottle up to Magnum size.
Pure™ Sparkling CO₂ Capsules:
Pure CO₂ replicates the natural carbonation of sparkling wines, preserving their bubbles, flavor, and freshness for up to four weeks.
As a food-safe and non-reactive gas, Pure CO₂ maintains the wine’s integrity without altering its taste or aroma.
Additionally, Coravin’s Pure™ Sparkling CO₂ Capsules are precisely engineered for safety and optimal pressure, ensuring consistent, high-quality preservation with every use.
Pioneering Technology Keeping Bubbles as Fresh as the First Sip

FAQ's: Got Questions?
What makes using Coravin different from other systems?
Coravin Timeless wine-by-the-glass systems are unique because they allow you to pour wine without removing the cork, ensuring that oxygen never enters the bottle.
Unlike other systems that only slow oxidation, Coravin Timeless completely stops it, preserving still wines at peak quality as if never opened.
The Pivot+ wine by-the-glass system offers a flexible solution for bottles with screw caps or those already opened.
By replacing the wine poured with food-safe argon gas, Pivot+ prevents oxidation while maintaining the wine's flavor and freshness for up to 4 weeks.
For sparkling wines, the specially designed Coravin Sparkling® by-the-glass system extends this innovation by preserving both the wine and its fizz and freshness. By re-sealing the bottle with the Sparkling Stopper and charging it with CO₂ gas, the system maintains the bottle’s original pressure and carbonation, ensuring every glass of sparkling wine tastes just as fresh and bubbly as the first pour.
Whether still or sparkling, Coravin guarantees that each glass delivers the same exceptional quality as the moment the bottle was first opened.
Does Coravin work on all types of wine bottles?
Coravin offers solutions for nearly every type of wine bottle and closure, making it versatile across a wide range of wines:
- Designed for bottles sealed with natural corks, the Timeless+ Series allow you to pour wine without removing the cork, preserving the wine for weeks, months, or even years. For screwcap bottles, the system can be adapted using the Coravin Screwcap Adapter, ensuring similar preservation benefits.
- The Pivot+ system works with all bottle types, regardless of closure, by replacing the bottle’s stopper with a specially designed Pivot Stopper. Once inserted, the Pivot+ uses food-grade argon gas to preserve the wine’s freshness for up to 4 weeks after opening.
- For sparkling wines, Coravin’s Sparkling by-the-glass system is specifically designed to work with sparkling wine bottles. After pouring, the Sparkling Stopper seals the bottle, and CO₂ gas maintains the bottle’s original pressure, preserving both the wine and its fizz.
How long does a Coravin capsule last?
A Coravin Pure™ Argon Capsule lasts for up to 15 five-ounce glasses with Timeless systems or 20 glasses with Pivot systems.
A single Coravin Pure™ Sparkling CO₂ Capsule can preserve up to 7 standard 750ml bottles of sparkling wine, depending on the amount of wine poured each time.
Does using Coravin affect the taste or quality of the wine?
No, Coravin does not affect the taste or quality of the wine. The systems use food-argon gas, which does not react with the wine.
Argon creates a protective layer over the wine, preventing oxidation without altering the flavor.
Can Coravin be used on older or more fragile wines?
Yes, Coravin can be used on older or more fragile wines. For these, the Timeless Vintage Needle is recommended, as it is thinner and gentler, minimizing the risk of damage to delicate corks.
However, if the cork is significantly deteriorated, it may push into the bottle or fail to reseal effectively.
