CORAVIN PIVOT INDEPENDENT REVIEW - THE WINE EXPERIENCE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 січ 2021
- My name is Konstantin Baum, I am a Master of Wine, and today I am going to do an unboxing and independent first impressions video of the new Coravin Pivot! I was not asked or paid by Coravin to do this but I have been using Coravin for seven years. The first Model Coravin released is the Model 8 which is a confusing name. Now we have the Pivot which is the cheapest Coravin Model and which also uses a different technique. Pivot means turning point and Coravin is changing their strategy with this product so I am very keen to get my hands on it.

Friendly reminder that the follow-up on this video would still be interesting in 2022. 🙂 Maybe its worth comparing to sth. like the new Everwine system. Cheers.
It is on the agenda!
@@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine any update?
I can’t seem to find a follow up either? It would be good to know if it works or not …
Great review man. Loved it. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I began using the Coravin model One a few years ago and it works well. I bought two bottles of Cru Beaujolais, accessed a glass from one bottle with the Coravin One and then let them sit for about 10 months. At our blind tasting of the two bottles everyone found both wines very good, only the most subtle of variation.
Thanks for sharing Michael! That is in line with my experiences.
Thank you for the lovely videos and fun reviews! I own Model 6 - a great help for my DipWSET studies. Waiting for your review on the new Coravin Sparkling!
Yes, I need to do that. Thanks for reminding me.
Helped me make a decision on which model to buy! Thank you.
Looking forward to thr comparison video.
Me too. It unfortunately will have to wait a few more weeks.
@@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine U CHOOSE WRONG WINE FOR COMPARISON VIDEO.
Great review, thanks
I am 77 years old and I do like to drink wine but rarely much more than one glass with a meal. My wife and I buy half bottles but these are quite expensive compared to full bottles. Also the range of wines in half bottles - even in our very good local wine shop is limited. So I will try a Corvine Pivot on its 60 day free trial offer and see whether I can gradually switch to drinking out of full bottles.
Hi David. Let me know, whether you like it!
Cool looking forward to your results and opinion! The other models were to expensive for me. Due to the fact that my wife isn‘t very fond of wine like I am, could be quite useful and I don‘t need to drink the wines in a couple of days. Could be also good for all those online tastings where you need to open couple of bottles at once and can‘t have friends coming over at the moment. 👍
That's right. I often use my other Coravins in those situations.
I am binging on your videos and really glad you got rid of the aaaaand wine intro :)
You are a great educator. Thank you for the effort you put into this channel. Right on
Never used one of these devices before. I assume it is only useful if you plan on having leftovers from your bottle. We tend to drink all ours in one sitting! Thanks, Konstantin! Nice demonstration. Looking forward to the follow-up!
Thanks! If you never have any leftovers than do not get it ... unless you want to open a bunch of different wines
I just bought one of these, but haven't used it yet. Worth a shot IMO
Yes, it is quite useful.
Thanks to your videos I have purchased both the Pivot and also the model 11 (and of course I have subscribed!). It seems logical - I live on my own, and the Pivot will allow me to enjoy a bottle which is consumed over several days, and the model 11 will enable me to enjoy fine wines by the glass as and when, and put the bottle away for a few months or longer knowing that I can revert to it, or simply open it once tried with friends and finish it off! But with the Pivot, how will we know if the gas has run out? I guess just test it and listen? Thank you for your valued posts!
Thank you for your feedback! Yes, it is just like with the other "low tech" devices: You have check for the gas and sometimes it will run out of gas while pouring.
Would love to see a follow up to this video
Excited to see the 4 week results
I will work on that ...
Same!! What is the result??
@@mwildt I suspect that the results weren't good lol
I think the Pivot is good for wine bar that serves expensive wines by the glass. Good enough and relatively economical to protect the opened wine for 4 weeks (hopefully it is all sold by then).
On another note, how does it work for older wines with sediment? How to get rid of sediment in the by-the-glass business?
I don't think the Pivot works for older wines
Hey Konstantin, did you ever do the comparison between the pivot, 8 and 11? Thanks!!
Do you believe that coravin preserves wines well to put back for a substantial time like a year or so? If I just want to taste a half a glass now and then see how it ages
Was the comparison video ever posted?
I guess it is a bit late for the 4 week video now 😆 Will you do a new trial? Would love to see vacuum vs pivot vs classic coravin. I use vacuum for wines I drink in under a week and coravin model 3 for private tastings and special wines.
I searched and didn't see any followup to this video with results, though it looks like this has been on here for 2 years.
I use the model 8 in my restaurant for expensive wines by the glas. I think with the pivot its possible to offer more different wines by the glas in my bar
Yes, I think so too. And it pours much faster too which is very useful in a restaurant.
Finally an affordable option. Would love to see how you rate it after using it for a few months. Also, would love to know approximately how long the Argon gas cartridge lasts
Will do ... I really need to get onto that video...
@@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine Yeah, kind of defeats the purpose of this one without a part 2
Yes, when’s the follow up video coming out?
Looking for the review (read all the commnets and no link to be found). I still see that the Pivot is for sale in the US.
I cannot find the follow up video. Did you post it? I am trying to decide whether the first Coravin, or the Coravin Pivot is best for me, and this video is very helpful so far. One of the biggest drawbacks I see with the Pivot, is that you can only open one bottle at a time, unless you buy the replacement stoppers to make a side by side comparison possible.
It is still in the works...
Hi there! I am unable to find the review after you’ve tasted the wine after using the pivot. What were your impressions? Do you recommend the pivot?
Just checking whether the comparison video is up? Wasn’t able to find it. Thanks!
Man, I really need to get onto that video...
Came to say the same thing
looking for the follow up video. Did it ever get released??
I know it was a while ago, but have you found time to compare this coravin after some weeks. I cannot find any other video from you. Thanks
Keep up to good videos. Would like to see a video on the trendy Gut Oggau wines
Noted! Thanks
Whatever happened to the Coravin Pivot test result comparison? I'm guessing it was terrible, otherwise you would have posted the video?
Was there a follow up video?
Link to the Coravin update?
I can't find the update on the pivot. Can you pls link the video?
wie war das Ergebnis? Wird es ein Follow up video geben?
I've been using Model Two for tasting samples, I can't say I'm impressed. I think the wine comes out altered and develops weirdly in bottle (fruit becomes totally subdued) once coravin'd.
Not to mention if you have less than half a bottle, using Coravin does nothing to preserve the wine.
I don't know...perhaps the technology on the more recent models is different, but I think it's overall a well marketed gimmick.
PS: new subscriber, nice channel! I'm working my way to tackle the MW too. One can dream :)
Thank you. Good luck with the MW!
Excuse me Mr. Baum, I already own the coravin Model 3 but I'm thinking about selling it and buying this one because I have some leakege problems and other minor issues in the pouring.
I'd like to know just 2 things:
Is the diameter of the small "tube" where the wine actually comes out the same of the regular coravin model?
Can i use the Coravin Pivot wine stopper as a normal stopper for, let's say, sparkling wine (without using the coravin to pour ofc, just to avoid leaving the bottle fully opened).
Thanks in advance for your time.
Thanks Danio. The needle that you insert in the bottle is sized like a straw (a few mm in diameter). You can use it as a normal stopper but I am not sure whether it will stay in bottle if you put it into a sparkling wine. Stay thirsty!
Hello, thank you. When are you doing the updated video to follow this one?
It is coming up. I messed up the trial but I will do another one in a few weeks.
Waiting for the follow up before I invest in the Pivot.
Hello Konstantin, I really enjoy your videos. I like to watch how much pleasure you have when tasting wine. You are convincing me to go for a Coravin but I have some concerns. Could you do a tasting of the same bottle fresh, one month, six months, maybe even one year? Also, don’t you think that it would be better to replace the cork with a silicone closure to ensure absence of air entry? Continue being thirsty!
Will do another video on that. Silicon corks also allow air in.
I have now completed my own review of the Coravin Pivot. I used two identical bottles of wine, a Wine Route Shiraz from Spain ~ a cheap wine. Bottles (screw cap) were opened on 27 March. I used the Pivot on one bottle and simply screwed the top back into the other between tasting. All tastings were blind, ie my wife assisted so I did not know which I was tasting. After 24 hours there was no discernible difference. After one week (4April) there was no discernible difference although both had developed a slight bitter aftertaste. After 4 weeks my notes indicate the Coravin wine was “noticeably better”, but both were still drinkable. After three months (27th June) in my blind tasting , I could not taste the difference between the Coravin stored wine and that with the screw cap. Both had a bitter after taste but were just about drinkable. I was surprised at this as I expected that the screw top bottle at least, or both bottles, would taste like vinegar. I did several blind tests to double check the results. Hence my conclusion is that the Coravin Pivot was a waste of money.
That is interesting!
Note that the Pivot only promises 4 weeks of preservation, not 3 months
You do realise the pivot is only for for four weeks right?
I own Pivot and Model 3 since it released.
The Pivot is designs to keep wine fresh up to 4 weeks while the normal model is claimed to keep it fresh for months and years. Plus, the Pivot is more efficient in gas use and doesn't need to change needle. So, it depends on how much time u need to finish the bottle less than/more than a month.
Thanks for you input!
My second wine using my pivot. Day 3 my amarone tastes like a flat cherry cola. I’d say it’s great for day 2 wine. That’s it.
Interesting!
The "but" is to big but this might be really good for restaurants were some expensive bottles of wine might not be consumed at once if you sell it per glass but maybe in a few weeks. Anyway, thanks for telling us about.
Yes, it narrows the drinking window significantly. In many cases this does not matter that much, but it is a downside.
I do not use Coravin until now. Therefore I am curious about your evaluation
Stay tuned. It is coming up in a few weeks.
Hello Konstantin! Fresh brand new follower here and I kinda marathoned your channel last week. Glad I met you! Nice aproach and lovely energy. Lets get to business! I'm hungry for the news around this device! Hope it worked! thx
Welcome aboard!
That ended up being a terrible video because there's simply no follow up. But I bought the Coravin Pivot myself and I can guarantee it works! It was my first Coravin ever and I could not believe when I was having the same bottle over a whole week and each and every sip was great. It was so worth it, a game changer for me!
Hello Konstantin, do you know why they only offer argon capsules, not nitrogen. In my opinion it should be the same effect, but much cheaper.
I think the price of the gas (less than 0.3 €) is not the most important one when it comes to Coravin making pricing decisions for their capsules. Argon is more dense and therefore might be protecting the wine more efficiently.
@@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine Understood. Thanks for quick answering. So it is more a monopol problem.
Is the review video close to publishing? I've held out buying the Pivot until your review since I know it will be honest.
Sorry, I still have not worked on this .. apologies!
When I revisit my wine, I struggle to get the stopper out! Anyone else have this problem?
Where is the follow up video to this?
What a cool knife! where i can get one ?
It was a limited edition from Chile.
Most of my red wines are aged in my cellar. Often my wife and I will share a bottle over a couple of nights, and so the Coravin Pivot is a potentially useful approach. However, most of my wines have a significant deposit that normally requires the wine to be decanted. How would you apply the Coravin approach in this situation? Simply following the method you illustrate in your video will result in an unpleasant pour.
No follow up?
Hey Kostantin do you already have a result video in pipeline? 🤓
Yes, but it will take another few weeks... Sorry!
@@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine , so...it's been 12 weeks now, any news or the link to the result yet?
i am new to Coravin so am looking at a lot of to do videos.
Very good. Check out this one as well: ua-cam.com/video/dCF3TbUj3HM/v-deo.html
Where's the follow up video??
Will there be a follow up video?
I need to do this...
@@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine I would like to see the video with the results
I have a coravin for 5 years now. Good stuff but for cheaper wines I use winesave. I don't see much point in this pivot
Please review the QikVin. Thanks.
Will have a look!
@@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine Please do. I recently got one and am very impressed with how well engineered it is, the quality of materials, the thoughtful design, and most of all how well it works. No air contacts the wine after it's decanted. It's simple to use and with zero ongoing expense it's very cost effective. I can see how in your situation, tasting a glass from many bottles for review and then saving them on the shelf for later makes the Coravin a very appropriate choice. But for those of us who want to savor a bottle at a time over days or a week or so, and preserve that just opened taste each time, the QikVin is an exceptional product. It deserves much wider exposure. Cheers.
When's the follow up dropping?
Ohhh... one day it will!
Pater Constantine, Ave.
Such a shame that you didn't make the follow up video that you mentioned. Without the results, this initial video isn't particularly helpful to be brutally honest. Why did you not make it? I didn't have to be long. Just a few minutes telling us if you recommend it or not. I tend to be very skeptical of these wine preservation systems, so rather imagine it doesn't work very well.
I drink my Petrus in one go don't need this 🤣
Invite me when you open the next bottle! 😁
Totally useless video without the follow up!
You should do a review of 'the pungo' system. It seems much better than coravin.
