Pros
- I use a coravin almost daily ever since the OG metal one launched. ... I've been using them regularly for about 10 years now, with no ill effects, so I imagine it’s exceedingly rare, and generally only affects bottles with structural def...
- I’m the only person in my house that drinks wine, so Coravin has been a great discovery. I used to just kill a bottle (or try) but now I can have a glass and know it’s still safe in the chiller when I want to have more.
- I just ordered a Coravin, also something I learned about from this sub’s recommendations, in case the bottle doesn’t get finished.
- Find a tasting group, or use a coravin and build a tasting cellar to taste comparatively rather than just drink/taste a bottle on its own.
- if you're just talking about the gas, then it's well worth using a Coravin on any decent wine you can't finish within a few days.

Coravin is game changing in regard to wine ime. Yes, I find it a little suboptimal in that it can be slightly tedious, but the ability to sample as many wines as I want in a week without ever opening a single bottle, that’s the best thing ever.
I’ve been using coravin for probably 12 years at this point, regularly and in a professional context. ... for perfect results think of coravin as a life extender rather than a long term solution. You’re always going to have bottles that get mucked up. That said, I have coravined bottles to half fill from fairly important natural producers who work with long macerations and limited sulphur and come away with good results months later after they have languished in my fridge for way too long.

The absolute best way to keep them is with a coravin.
