Hello Wine Enthusiasts Welcome to the Daily Taste for Monday May 9th 2022One of my favorite things about being a wine fanatic is all the fun gadgets out there that are meant to help enhance your wine experience Admittedly I am a sucker for those things and have tried many of them over the years One of my favorite wine gadgets is the Coravin wine preserver I remember when I first saw the Coravin being used at a winery I had never seen anything like it and I had to ask about it For those who don t know what a Coravin is it s a device that allows you to take wine out of a bottle without removing the cork This is accomplished with a special needle called a Coravin Needle According to Coravin the Coravin Needle gently passes through corks without displacing cork material Once the needle is removed the cork simply expands back to its normal shape As wine is extracted out of the bottle with the needle it is replaced with pure Argon gas ensuring oxygen never touches the remaining wine According to Coravin other wine preservation systems only delay oxidation of the wine but with the Coravin every glass you pour tastes as good as the first weeks months or even years later Being the only red wine drinker in my house I use my Coravin anytime I feel like a glass from a special bottle of wine to treat myself and don t want to open the entire bottle I have friends with large wine collections and sometimes they want to track the aging of a special wine over a few years to see hoe it evolves They use the Coravin to take out a sample over time to follow its evolution I am not a scientist so I wanted to get the opinion of someone I respect on the use of the Coravin and how it impacts the wine I asked Alpha Omega Winemaker and scientist Matt Brain about it and here is what he had to say If you want to learn more about the Coravin Wine Preservation systems I encourage you to go to their website at www coravin com and check out the section on the technology of their products They even have new products on the market for preserving sparkling wine and wine that is closed with a screw cap I don t get paid to talk about Coravin but I would love the opportunity to interview someone from Coravin on the show one of these days but I haven t been able to make contact with anyone from the company If you know of someone who works for Coravin and would be willing to do an episode with me please give them the show email obsessedwithwine yahoo com Finally remember to go to www obsessedwithwine net and sign up for the email mailing list I am going to be releasing my first bonus episode exclusively for mailing list subscribers in the near future
