Have you ever had to throw away a bottle of expensive wine because you couldn’t finish the entire bottle and once it was opened it became spoiled? Well this new gadget may save your next bottle of wine, especially if you just want one glass and then want to save the rest.
The gadget called the Coravin will pierce through the wine bottle’s cork, allowing the argon to pressurize the bottle. You can then pour the wine through the needle and cork into the glass.
Once you’re done pouring simply extract the needle from the cork and the bottle will reseal, saving it from oxidization, pretty cool!
