I was dropping by the various wine bars in Bellagio (as one does when working) — and at Aperitivo Et Al, Andrea demonstrated a clever tool that pulls wine from a bottle with the ease of a nurse pulling blood from an arm. With the Coravin, he can serve fancy wine by the glass without worrying about finishing the bottle before the wine goes bad.

Maybe I don’t get out much. (When I got back to my hotel and Googled the Coravin, I learned that it was invented in 2011 in Massachusetts.) Is this old news?

  1. If there's liquid being displaced, air would still get into the bottle. Does the Coravin inject a non-oxygen substitute into the bottle?

  2. "Basta" means stop, but in a negative and demanding way. These are better; "che è sufficiente", "che è abbastanza", or just say, "sufficiente" or "abbastanza".

  3. I own one of these. Very cool piece of tech. As it pours, it replaces the air in the bottle with argon gas to preserve the wine.

  4. I don't need that thing, because if I open a bottle of wine you can bet I'm going to drink the whole thing…right away.

  5. I am friends with the owner of the bar with the largest by the glass selection in the world (about 405) and he has 3 coravines

  6. it's to bad the coravin is so over priced. not really for the average user. could do the same with a needle and syringe lol
