  • Coravin has been the gold standard for wine preservation for years. Recently they changed all of their needle systems but was it a change that was needed?

    I bought a Coravin Model Six a couple of months ago. I love how it has revolutionized my wine drinking, but I have already broken a needle so I have to agree with you on that one: it's not as easy to use as it should be.

    I only drink a glass or two, so a Coravin is gold to me! I remember saying something about "leftover wine" to friends who looked at me oddly. Apparently, such a concept was foreign to them! That said, if I finished a bottle every time I wanted a sip, AA would be in my future!

    I’ve come down on Repour just a little after realizing I do have to stress when the wine gets down to about half 🤔 That being said, it’s still a great and cheap and easy option for when I go get enough bottles for discount and want to try multiple of them! 🎉

    Nice video again. In the past I was somewhat sceptical about Coravin, that until my wife gave me Coravin as a present. Coravin really works! Pitty the consumables are somewhat price. Therefore, I am eyeballing a third party extension that allows you to use Argon gas stored in a separate small industrial/medical CGA-580 cylinder, that third-party extension is based on an adapter that screws in the Coravin replacing the part holding the capsule, now attaching to an external Argon cylinder via a polyurethane tube. Argon gas is very cheap, Argon finds lot of industrial applications including TIG welding.
    I have a model 6-plus in a nice emerald green color and yes, I have also bend a few needles as well. In my case that was total user error. How? Well, that new auto clamping mechanism allows you to make a mistake by doing the clamping and needle insertion in a single push, in particular when the clamp is the top position (that is how I store my Coravin). Doing that, will result in immediate needle destruction. Always clamp first then push the needle. Don't try to skip a step🙂

    I have the new Model 11 that doesn't require you to press a trigger. It's super smart, and the just tip and pour feature is great. I do worry, though, that the Eleven when you insert the needle has oxygen in it as you can't "manually clear" the needle pre insertion. I'm not sure, though, if the Eleven automatically shoots a tiny bit of argon out when you pick it up.

    Hi Matthew. Thanks for your videos, really useful ones! May I ask how a bottle should be kept after the first use of Coravin, thinking of larger periods to the next glass (more than a month)? I mean, in the kitchen's fridge or in your cellar? In vertical position (low contact with the gas) or in horizontal position, looking for keeping the contact with the cork but also with a higer exposure to the gas? Are you sure no oxigen is left inside the bottles? Sorry for the many questions, but I see your channel as a reliable source after many years using and recommending Coravin products. Many thanks!

    • @drmatthewhorkey
      @drmatthewhorkey  Рік тому +1

      I think vertical is fine for shorter periods... I do lie horizontal for longer periods to help the cork seal but I have not done an experiment to see what is better longer term - vertical or horizontal

    Some Coravin reviewers mentioned they noticed oxidation after a few months.
    Do you really believe Coravin can preserve wines a few months up to a few years without affecting the wine quality?
    What happens with Diam corks? Does Coravin work with it as with natural cork?

    • @drmatthewhorkey
      @drmatthewhorkey  Рік тому +1

      It works with Diam and Natural corks. I found their older needles are very reliable. Once in a while with the new faster flow needles there are off bottles. I have videos on the channel where I did taste wines that were stored for a while and I was impressed. Techinque and storage conditions of the wines are critical

    I have the older version. I think it's the Model 2? I don't know. I bought the original version and after several years I had some issues with the gas leaking. I emailed them several times and expressed frustration on my videos. After trying a few things they ended up sending me a brand new one of the same kind I had. I always have it front and center for my reviews, unless I'm doing sparkling. I tried to get a freebie of that, but they never replied.

    • @drmatthewhorkey
      @drmatthewhorkey  Рік тому

      I did a video on the Coravin Sparkler and IMO it is the best and sturdiest unit they have made. The only problem is that I don’t know how many people will want it as sparkling bottles are often finished off after opening

    Both very cheaply made. The only well made coravin was the model 1000 or also called model 8 which was the first one ever made. I have also stopped using the coravin canisters as they are crazy expensive. I use an adaptor which allows me to refill the coravin without the use of canisters.

    • @drmatthewhorkey

If you have the opportunity of comparing the first model ever made (eight or 1000) to all subsequent models then you will understand what I am talking about.
