"This is the budget buster, but truly worth it if you drink good wine or have a bunch of nice bottles on your shelf waiting for an occasion big enough to go through 750ml of deliciousness," Farmerie told Business Insider."The Coravin system allows you to pour yourself a glass without pulling the cork, and then tops the bottle with a gas that allows the remaining wine to not deteriorate over time. Magic' Perhaps, and a magic worth breaking the budget. "Founded in 2011 by Greg Lambrecht, the Coravin system makes it possible to enjoy a delicious glass of wine without ruining the entire bottle.The secret lies in its specially designed non-coring needle. It punctures the cork so you can pour yourself a glass or two of wine, but is small enough to let the cork repair itself. Combined with the capsules of argon gas, which is used in the wine-making process, you stick inside the Coravin, thegadget effectively blocks unwanted oxygen and allows your bottle to age naturally.At $300, the Coravin isn't cheap. But if you consider how much money you spend on partially consumed bottles of wine,you could end up saving moneyin the long run.Buy the Coravin Model Two Wine Systemon Amazon for $299.95amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0";amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "biip_041317_coravin-chef-recommendation-20";amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "search";amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart";amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon";amzn_assoc_region = "US";amzn_assoc_title = "Shop Related Products";amzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = "B0168AT5HE";amzn_assoc_default_category = "All";amzn_assoc_linkid = "45bdd486e26e4d6122a2439d262be242";amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links";SEE ALSO:This innovative Kickstarter product will keep your open bottles of wine fresh for up to a weekDON'T MISS:This handy 4-in-1 tool is the one thing every wine lover should ownJoin the conversation about this story
