Top 5 reasons why Wine Savers are a must-have for wine lovers
May 10, 2023
Written By Coravin
You open a bottle of wine and only finish two glasses, then what do you do with the rest? Toss it or…use a wine saver. Wine savers are designed to seal a bottle after it's already been opened to preserve the wine, locking in the delicious flavors and aromas. This prolongs shelf life and prevents wine from oxidizing and going bad.
A wine saver is a tool used to preserve opened bottles of wine, which slows down the oxidation process and helps to keep the wine fresher for a longer period of time. Below is a list of our top 5 Reasons you should use a wine saver, especially if you want to limit your consumption to a glass or 2.
1. Preservation
Wine is meant to be enjoyed, but the flavor and aroma of a bottle of wine can be lost within a few short days. Oxygen causes wine to oxidize and spoil, leading to a loss of flavor and aroma. A wine saver can help preserve the flavor and aroma of an open bottle of wine by removing oxygen from the bottle.
For instance: What could be better than popping open a bottle of Champagne on a Friday night? Popping open a bottle on a Friday night and having it last another four weeks.
With the Coravin Sparkling device, you can preserve your favorite bubbly for up to four weeks, so you don't have to worry about finishing it all in one sitting. You can have a glass now and save the rest for when your friend comes over or when you're just in the mood for something bubbly.
2. Cost
Wine lovers rejoice! The time has come for you to save your wine—and your money. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just enjoy sipping on a nice glass of vino, you definitely don't want to waste it.
A wine saver helps extend the life of any bottle. With the help of a wine saver, you can keep an expensive bottle of wine from going bad by ensuring oxidation doesn't take effect.
If you’re a wine enthusiast, you know that having a great bottle of wine is only half the battle. The other half is keeping it fresh for as long as possible.
With a device, such as the Timeless Three+ you can pour your favorite wines without pulling the cork. That’s right! This means no risk of oxidation or spoilage, enabling your wine to last for weeks, months and even years. This wine saver is a wine enthusiast's dream.
3. Convenience
If you don't want to waste any of the wine—or if you want to be able to enjoy a glass or two later—a wine saver can be a convenient way to store the remaining wine without having to worry about it going bad or losing its flavor. This can be especially useful if you're hosting a dinner party or other event where multiple bottles of wine are open at once.
The Timeless Six + is enjoyed by many hosts and tastemakers. Like the Timeless Three+ preservation device, you don’t have to pull the cork and you can enjoy your wine for years to come. But what if your bottle has a screw cap? Fear not! The Timelss Six+ comes with 6 Standard Screw Caps, which can be secured onto any screw cap bottle for use with all Coravin Needles.

4. Variety
A wine saver can allow you to open and enjoy multiple bottles of wine at once without worrying about finishing them all quickly. This can be a great way to sample different wines or pair wines with different foods.
Any of Coravin’s devices will allow you to preserve still or Sparkling wines. The Pivot, for instance, ensures your still red and white wines remain fresh and flavourful for up to 4 weeks.
