We are officially into the season of bubbles and I could not be happier (actually, all seasons should be bubbles seasons).
I got to try the Coravin Sparkling system, and this isn’t just another wine gadget; it’s a sparkling revolution. If you remember when I told y’all earlier this year about Greg Lambrecht, the brilliant mind who invented the original Coravin (that life-changing gadget letting you pour wine without killing the whole bottle), then you’ll know this latest marvel is the fairy godfather of sparkling wine preservation.
I had the chance to try a very early version many years ago, and let just say it has evolved completely.
Once you’ve poured your desired amount of Champagne, Prosecco, or any sparkling treasure, you pop on the Coravin Sparkling Stopper. This stopper locks down tight on your bottle neck with a locking handle maintaining up to 55 psi of pressure — the very same pressure that keeps those precious bubbles dancing fresh and lively. Next comes the Sparkling Charger, which releases pure CO₂ into the bottle’s headspace. This is the magic ingredient that stops your wine from going flat and keeps every last pour tasting just as vibrant as the first.
It’s engineered with safety in mind—the stopper handle releases halfway first to vent excess pressure gently before coming off. The pressure regulator in the charger makes sure you don’t overdo it, so your bottle stays safe.
What does this mean for you, the lover of bubbles? It means you can pop open a bottle for a toast tonight, keep your sparkle fresh and fizzing for up to four weeks, and pour glass after glass without stressing the fizz. No more rushing to finish a bottle in one sitting or wasting precious leftover bubbles.
The tech behind it all is proof that passion, innovation, and a love for good vino can change the game. Greg’s journey from biomedical engineering to wine preservation has gifted us all the ability to savor sparkling wines on our own terms, one perfect glass at a time.
So if you’re ready to level-up your sparkling wine game, I’m raising my glass to Coravin Sparkling — cheers to science, celebration, and the sparkling moments that make life sweeter.
