Wine Vacuum Sealer Reinvented Through Coravin’s Innovative Technology
Why Traditional Wine Vacuum Sealers are Spoiling your Wine Service
A wine vacuum sealer is a tool that removes air from an opened bottle to slow oxidation and keep wine fresh.
Traditionally, they use a hand pump and rubber stopper to create a partial vacuum.
On paper it sounds great, but think again. A vacuum sealer will only preserve wine for a day or two.
This is where Coravin steps in. Coravin’s approach goes beyond suction, unlocking true wine-by-the-glass freedom.
How a Wine Vacuum Sealer Works
Regular vacuum sealer stoppers rely on brute force to extract air from the bottle, which can strip aroma. Oxygen levels drop, but residual air and seal leaks remain, always compromising taste and freshness. Even the best wine vacuum sealers use a stopper and pump, protecting freshness for just 24–48 hours.
Coravin’s pioneering technology takes a completely different and innovative approach: intercepting oxidation with inert gas, so you can enjoy every glass, without ever touching the cork.
Why Do Coravin Systems Stand Out?
A vacuum wine stopper can’t match Coravin’s precision.
Coravin wine by-the-glass system uses a precision-engineered needle to pierce the cork, inject inert gas, and pour without oxygen ever entering the bottle.
This process preserves for weeks, months and in some cases, years (depending on the system and the bottle).
Coravin offers three wine-by-the-glass systems: Timeless™, Pivot+ and Sparkling.
Coravin Timeless™ Series
The Timeless™ line employs a precision engineered, hollow needle that penetrates the cork without ever pulling it, then injects pure argon gas to displace wine as you pour.
Then the cork self-seals, completely blocking new oxygen from entering, so your wine stays pristine for months and even years in some cases, not just a few days.
Benefits over vacuum sealers:
- No oxygen gets in: vacuum pumps only remove some air, so leftover oxygen still affects the wine’s flavor over time.
- True long-term preservation: vacuum systems only extend freshness up to 3–5 days, while Timeless lets vintage bottles mature on your timeline.
- No cork degradation: repeated vacuum cycles stress cork fibers while Timeless bypasses that risk entirely.
Coravin Pivot
Pivot+ is designed for open bottles. Swap out the original closure for a reusable Pivot Stopper, then attach the Pivot+ device. Each glass is poured by injecting argon through the stopper, preserving the remaining wine under an inert blanket for up to four weeks.
Advantages Compared to Vacuum Sealers:
- Universal compatibility: works with natural and synthetic corks, screw caps, and even ROPP tops. On the contrary, vacuum pumps need specific neck shapes.
- Consistent seal pressure: vacuum stoppers slowly leak down, whereas Pivot+ maintains a stable gas layer that stops oxidation.
- Effortless single-handed pours: vacuum systems require manual pumping between sips, interrupting the moment.
Coravin Sparkling®
Designed exclusively for sparkling wines, this system uses a universal sparkling stopper and CO₂ capsules to re-pressurize open bottles. It restores and locks in bubbles, aroma, and mouthfeel for at least four weeks, turning any half-empty Champagne or Prosecco into an everlasting celebration you can enjoy glass-by-glass over time.
Why Choose This Instead of a Vacuum Sealer
- Reinforced carbonation: vacuum pumps destroy bubbles, while Sparkling rebuilds them with food-grade CO₂.
- Flavor integrity: CO₂ buffering protects delicate aromatics that vacuum methods flatten.
- Extended bubbles: vacuum stoppers let pressure bleed off; Sparkling holds restaurant-level sparkle session after session.
