Pivot+

All Coravin wine by-the-glass systems offer the freedom to enjoy wine on your terms – not the bottle’s. The key differences lie in how each system works and how long wine stays fresh once accessed.

With the Coravin Pivot® System, you open the bottle and immediately replace the original closure with the specially designed Pivot Stopper. Insert the Pivot Device through the Stopper to pour. As you pour, the system replaces what’s removed with pure argon gas to protect the remaining wine. Because the bottle has been opened, wine stays fresh for up to 4 weeks – ideal for most everyday bottles, ensuring your last glass tastes just as vibrant as the first. Pivot is a simple, accessible solution that works with any still wine, regardless of closure type.

Coravin Timeless™ wine by-the-glass systems, on the other hand, feature a precision-engineered needle that gently passes through the natural cork, allowing you to pour without ever opening the bottle. The remaining wine stays protected from oxygen and continues ageing as the winemaker intended – for even 20+ years later.

For screw cap wines, Timeless systems pair with the Coravin Screw Cap accessory, keeping wine fresh for up to 3 months. These models are ideal for pouring from special bottles, exploring wines as they evolve, or building a versatile at-home wine-by-the-glass experience.

Argon is an inert, non-reactive gas, which means it does not engage with the wine or its components. Because of this property, argon is used in Coravin's wine by-the-glass systems to protect still wines from oxidation without altering their taste or aroma. This ensures that each pour maintains the integrity and quality of the wine.

Once you finish the bottle, remove the Stopper. Clean the Stopper by rinsing it in a steady stream of warm water for several seconds. Shake excess water from the Stopper cap. Dry with a soft cloth. Ensure the Silicone Rings on the Stopper are completely dry before inserting into a new bottle.

Bottles that are cracked or chipped can break. We provide a Coravin Wine Bottle Sleeve for safety if you are more comfortable using one.

Not at all. While Coravin is perfect for accessing rare or special bottles, it’s just as valuable for enjoying any wine on your terms. Many wine lovers and restaurants use Coravin for everything from weekday pours to fine vintages, because it lets you explore different bottles without the pressure to finish them. Whether it’s a treasured collectible or a casual favorite, Coravin keeps every glass tasting exactly as it should.

Coravin Timeless™ and Pivot+® wine by-the-glass systems use 100% Pure Argon gas because it’s an inert, food-safe gas already trusted by winemakers to protect wine during production. Argon is heavier than oxygen, so it forms a protective barrier inside the bottle, shielding the remaining wine from oxygen and keeping it completely unaffected – allowing it to continue aging naturally for weeks, months, or even years, depending on the system.

Coravin Timeless™ wine by-the-glass systems are designed for natural corks and will not reseal synthetic corks. If your bottle has a synthetic cork, you can remove it and use the Coravin Pivot+® wine by-the-glass system instead. The Pivot Stopper creates an airtight seal that keeps wine fresh for up to four weeks, regardless of closure type.

Yes. Coravin® Timeless™ wine by-the-glass systems are compatible with screw-cap bottles when used with the Coravin Timeless™ Screw Cap accessory, engineered for up to 75 punctures and keeping wine in fresh for up to six months. Coravin Pivot+® also works with screw-cap bottles using the Pivot Stopper, keeping wine tasting freshly opened for up to four weeks.

No – natural corks are self-sealing, so after the Coravin precision-engineered needle is removed, they naturally expand back to their original shape. You can access the same bottle multiple times without affecting its ability to protect the wine. After around 15 punctures, the cork may begin to lose its seal, so for frequent small pours it’s best to replace the cork to maintain perfect protection

Yes. Coravin wine by-the-glass systems are trusted by millions of wine lovers and used in thousands of top restaurants and wineries around the world.

Coravin Timeless™ uses a precision-engineered needle and 100% Pure™ Argon gas to pour without removing the cork, keeping the remaining wine completely unaffected so it continues to age naturally for enjoyment even years later.

Coravin Pivot+® works with any closure type. By replacing the bottle’s closure with the Pivot Stopper and injecting 100% Pure™ Argon gas as you pour, it keeps wine fresh for up to four weeks.

Coravin Sparkling® uses a universal charger with 100% pure CO₂ – the same gas that naturally creates bubbles in sparkling wine – to maintain original taste and bubbles for at least four weeks.
