The One Cyber Monday Deal Every Wine Lover Needs to Shop
While it takes years to make the perfect bottle, your wine’s flavor and aroma are on borrowed time the moment you pop the cork. That’s what makes Coravin’s openers so great. Through a patented system that uses a thin needle to enter the cork without creating a hole, the ingenious gadget allows you enjoy a glass without even opening your bottle (and exposing your wine to oxygen).

Customers who have bought and used Coravin devices rave about how they’re less complicated to operate than many traditional bottle openers, as well as how the system makes it easier to determine the perfect moment to uncork.
“Almost every night I taste the wine with the Coravin before opening,” wrote one reviewer. “If it seems ‘too young’ or doesn't match my taste that evening, I return it to the cellar. I always taste any bottle taken to a restaurant to assure I am not bringing a tainted bottle. I have had many a bottle half consumed and opened 6 months later with perfect preservation. Last night a Vineyard 29 Zin that had 1/4 bottle consumed with the Coravin 28 months earlier—still Fresh! I'm impressed.”
And while the tools are typically a hefty investment, right now, you can save 30 percent on Coravin wine preservation tools and accessories on Williams-Sonoma for Cyber Monday.
