Coravin Model One – The Only Wine Accessory You’ll Ever Need

Wine is one of the most popular beverages in the world, as it is one of the two oldest alcoholic drinks, along with mead. There are mainly four types of wine–red, white, sparkling, and rose.

Since it has been found as one of the purest, most enjoyable drinks, the art of wine making and preserving it has also been practiced for thousands of years. It is not just an art; scientific methods must also be taken into consideration as there are a lot of trial and error stages, especially if you are experimenting on different tastes.

Wine making is a delicate process. To get the idea, below is a crash course on the steps of wine making:

Harvesting. First, you have to harvest the best grapes from the yield. It is vital to know that the sweetness and acidity of the grapes are in perfect balance because they come into play in the long run. So it all boils down to deciding the right moment to harvest.

Crushing. When you have sorted the choicest grapes, the next stage is to de-stem and crush them to produce its must (grape juice). In the past, winemakers used to crush grapes by feet. Today, crushing them mechanically ensures a more sanitary method.

Fermentation. After the crushing and pressing of grapes, fermentation follows. Adding either wild or cultured yeast (to convert sugar into alcohol), it usually takes a week to a month.

Clarification. Tannin (a bitter-tasting acid), proteins, and dead yeast must be removed from the fermented must, so clarification is the process of filtration and fining.

Ageing. The final stage is ageing or bottling. Most winemakers use oak barrels bottles, or stainless steel tanks. Usually, oak barrels are preferred to age red wine as it increases the oxygen exposure (to reduce further tannin and achieve the best flavor).

You want to capture the perfect taste produced by this long and arduous process. Most of the time, we keep good wines until it is the best occasion to open them.

With the Coravin Model One Wine Bottle Opener and Preservation System, you can enjoy the best ones from your shelf without, essentially, opening them. It comes with 2 Coravin Argon (argon is a non-toxic noble gas that serves as a protective layer to preserve the wine) capsules that allow you to pour up to 30 5-ounce glasses of wine.

Imagine enjoying the wine you have but at the same time continuing to age it.
