CORAVIN
A Pivot™ Stopper is used to replace the cork or screwcap and the Pivot™ Pro device is inserted to access the wine , pressurising the bottle with Argon gas . The Pivot™ Stopper remains on the bottle until it has been used , allowing it to be enjoyed for up to four weeks by customers .
Coravin ® Pro Reserve Kit
Fitted with SmartClamps™ for ease of use , the Model Three Pro system includes patented technology to protect wine from oxidation , allowing venues to pour any wine , in any amount , without pulling the cork . The 291.67 ( excl . VAT ) device works by inserting a needle through the cork and pressurising the bottle with Argon gas . The cork then naturally reseals the bottle allowing the wine to enjoyed for months , or even years , to come , allowing businesses to offer more , higher price point wines by the glass .
The Reserve Kit includes six Screw Cap accessories , unlocking even more wines with the freedom to pour and protect screw cap wines for up to three months .
The Select and Reserve Kits include 12 of the exclusive B2B Coravin Pure™ Argon Professional Capsules , offering 300 pours with Pivot™ Pro , and 240 pours with Model Three Pro . The Capsules can also be purchased separately in sets of 12 for 75 ( excl . VAT ).
Greg Lambrecht , Inventor and Founder of Coravin says , “ Whilst I initially created Coravin with athome usage in mind , we quickly understood how important Coravin is to our trade partners . We ’ ve been working hard to develop an exclusive line so we can offer even more wines by the glass with the larger devices and capsules .
As trade begins to return back to normal , we understand the importance of profitability and look forward to supporting our partners with this new offering ”.
Zsofia Kiss , Head Sommelier Assistant at 67 Pall Mall says , “ 67 Pall Mall is really basically built around the Coravin System . We have around 900 wines by the glass , we only use Coravin for everything .”
Andrea Zoggia , Sommelier at Exit Milan says , ‘‘ Thanks to Coravin , we were able to increase the average revenue of the wine bar because we can offer more important products and , consequently , the customer , attracted by this offer , decides to enjoy a new experience , thus increasing the average takings for the sale of wines by the glass .’’
Matthieu Plantier , Head Sommelier at Restaurant Pages Paris says , ‘‘ The main advantage of the Coravin system is of course in terms of turnover . Selling by the glass can make a big difference compare to selling by the bottle .’’
