Vintage Needle

I wouldn't be without my Coravin but have found some evidence of oxidation on wines with poor-quality or older corks. As such, I invested in one of these and have noticed a sharp downtick in evidence of degradation after using the Coravin on vintage wines.Talking to some sommelier friends about the reliability of the Coravin system, they suggested that vintage needs were in fact a good way of ensuring minimal oxidation for wines with good quality or newer corks. Despite it requiring a little more patience when pouring, I've now switched as a result to using the vintage needle all the time.

the photo is very misleading shows a nice group of three, i did not really check that it was a single I was surprisedwhen it turned up......... the part is fine.. the system works but its a bit unclear to buyers .. of course after I saw it I accept that I have a responsibility to be more careful.... but I believe CLEAR imaging is really for the advertiser as part of his duty to not mislead

C,est du Coravin, le nom le dit! la qualité y est!

Ottimo, come da descrizione, consigliato!

why the pic is not enough to be refunded, given that I assume the broken needle will be trow away once back???

Love my Coravin I was so upset when my guest broke off the needle. I am not mechanical and visualized going through impossible digital dexterity maneuvers and trying to understand instructions written for an egghead engineer or just buying an entire new Coravin. Fortunately I opted to give this new needle a try. To my absolute surprise and delight I was able to understand the instructions and within a couple of minutes my Coravin was as good as new.

Pours much better/faster, but does leave a bigger hole in the cork.Most holes will still close, so it’s still a good purchase.
