Coravin Model Two?
Morning all - I know we have a lot of wine lovers on the forum.
Decent cyber Monday sale on the model 2. Anyone have one? Is it worth the money? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! |

I'd get that .. I has one used in front of me about 2-3 months ago at Capitol Grill in Fort Lauderdale on a 6-7 month old open Chateauneuf-du-Pape. It tasted like they just opened it. It was so good I had a 2nd glass. I don't normally buy wine at restaurants as the 3-4 times mark up is crazy on a 200.00 bottle of wine wholesale, but if I had a resturant you could safely open a bottle serve it by the glass and 4 months do it again.
I don't know the difference with the Corvain I or II. This wasn't a cheap glass at 70.00 per pour but I was impressed. At home there's never any left overs so I wouldn't use it. I just ordered 18 bottles of . 375 size 2011 Insignia too so that's going to be perfect for me now if I want 2 just glasses. But the coravin worked amazing if you need it. |

Quite frankly, I cannot imagine just pulling one glass of wine out of a bottle. My wife and I have at least 3-5 bottles of wine a week and I prefer to spend my cash on buying (and drinking) wine rather than strange implements to save it.
Wine should be drunk in company rather than by the odd glassful. |

I assume this is designed to only be used for wines without sediment from aging or ones that don't benefit from being decanted.

As to OP: I love mine and great if you want to have a glass of wine during the week and it’s as if you never opened your bottle.

As far as wines needing decanting, if we only want a glass of wine or two for dinner, I pour it well before dinner and wine is perfect when we need it, plus whats left in bottle is saved for future. |

I noticed it being used a lot in Napa for tastings. My father loves his, and the precision of the pours. Seems like he is wasting less wine, and the bottles are staying fresher.
