The needle is the centerpiece of Coravin's technology. The Coravin needle pierces cork easily without displacing the cork material. Once the needle is removed, the cork simply springs back to its normal shape. While wine is extracted through the needle, it is replaced by pure Argon gas, ensuring oxygen never reaches the remaining wine. As a result, the wine stays as fresh as the day it was bottled.

What types of Coravin Needles are there?

Coravin needles are specially designed to pierce natural or agglomerated cork, allowing you to pour wine without opening the bottle. Below we explain the differences between the needles:

Standard Needle: This is the replacement needle for most Coravin wine preservation systems.
Faster Pour Needle: This one is wider than the standard needle, allowing you to pour faster. It is recommended for use on corks that are in good condition.
Vintage Needle: The Vintage Needle is thinner than the Standard Needle, designed for use with older, weaker corks.
Premium Needle: This needle features a multi-opening design for a much smoother pour.
