Coravin wine saver can't really be that effective? (ad for a needle that draws wine out of a bottle without pulling the cork....)

It squeezes air in when you press the lever and the increased air pressure pushes the wine out....but its air exposure that alters the wine's properties...a little bit is fine, old wine needs to breathe which helps the flavors bloom. but a day or two? and remember the pressure is increased. if it was a nitrogen injection then sure you get inert gas pressure.

Responses:

old bottles with flaws sometimes blow up when the inert gas/air is put in the bottle. they are also good for 15 used before you need a new cartridge - peglegpete Dec 4, 22:33 1
