EXPLORE · WINE PRESERVATION

Open the good bottle. Just not all of it.

Pour one glass tonight. Keep the rest tasting fresh for weeks, or even years.

Per Coravin, preservation time depends on the system and closure. Years-long preservation applies to Timeless with natural-cork still wines, not every bottle.

Your wine has a clock on it.

Once oxygen gets in, aromas and flavors start to change. Typical still wine lasts around 3–5 days; sparkling around 1–3 days with proper resealing and refrigeration. Estimates vary by wine and storage.

Why preserving wine is a power move.

Stop pouring money down the drain

Keep the wine you paid for, instead of sacrificing half a bottle to the sink.

Open the special bottle on a Tuesday

A good bottle doesn’t need a guest list. Enjoy a glass when the mood strikes.

One glass, your schedule

Choose the pour you want. The rest can wait for another evening.

Red for you, white for them

Different tastes at the table? Keep more than one bottle in play.

Do the math. Then do the pour.

Illustrative estimate: bottle price × unfinished bottles per month × ½ bottle wasted. Not guaranteed savings or product payback.

Air is the villain. Argon is the bodyguard.

Pivot

Open still wine, insert a Pivot Stopper, and use inert argon to replace the wine you pour.

Timeless

A fine needle passes through compatible natural cork. Argon replaces the poured wine without pulling the cork.

Sparkling

A dedicated stopper and CO₂ preserve pressure and bubbles after opening. Not an argon system.

Finishing it in a day or two? Recork and refrigerate. Coravin earns its keep when you want more time or several bottles open at once.

Preservation cannot repair already spoiled wine. Follow the manufacturer’s storage, compatibility and safety instructions.
