Coravin Sparkling, a new product innovation ready to transform the sector and change the way the world enjoys sparkling wine, which from the first of September will also be available for the Italian market.
Designed with both partners Horeca and the end consumer in mind, the system is very easy to use and pairs a universal Stopper with a main charging unit that allows the CO2 level of the sparkling wine to be restored to its original state after pouring one or more glasses normally. This process allows perfect preservation of any sparkling wine for up to two weeks. With the Coravin Sparkling system, the consumption of champagne, prosecco, cava, and other sparkling wines will no longer be limited to occasions when you are sure to consume the entire bottle quickly due to loss of effervescence.
“When we introduced the original Coravin system, we always knew that one day we would extend our technology to the sparkling wine category,” said Greg Lambrecht, founder of Coravin. “After years of development, we are excited to introduce Coravin Sparkling and offer our contribution to allow anyone to pour any wine, still or sparkling, in any quantity, without the obligation to finish the bottle quickly for fear of wasting it.”
As part of the product development process, the Coravin team worked with industry professionals to test the initial prototypes and validate the technology. Over time, the various improvements introduced have enabled the product to gain approval from the wine sector and excitement for the product has grown enormously along with everyone’s expectations.
“After testing the Coravin Sparkling System, we consider it an extraordinary addition to our wine devices,” said Yohann Jousselin, Master Sommelier, Assistant Vice President, Food & Beverage (Wine), Shangri-La International Hotel Management Ltd. “We are finally able to expand our sparkling wine by the glass program without the risk of waste“.
Mauro Mattei, Fine Wine Specialist at Ceretto who manages distribution in Italy in the Horeca sector, shared: “I grew professionally in venues where serving wine was considered the center of the wine offering, and I cannot help but think about how the management of sparkling wine by-the-glass service has always been a hot topic, both economically and qualitatively. From now on with Coravin Sparkling everything is easier, we can dare what until yesterday we only imagined, having 100% fun without risking unnecessary waste and satisfying the most demanding customers, without any fear”.
To use the Coravin Sparkling system, open the bottle and when you have finished pouring the desired amount, place the Sparkling Stopper on the bottle and secure it with the locking handle. Then use the Sparking device to restore the CO2 level, ensuring the original effervescence as intended by the producer. To pour the next glass, simply carefully remove the Stopper and pour the desired amount normally. At the end, reattach the Sparkling Stopper and restore the CO2 level of the bottle with the Sparkling device.
The Coravin Sparkling system package contains a Sparkling device, two Sparkling Stoppers, four Coravin Pure™ Sparkling CO2 capsules, and two protective bottle sleeves. The universal Sparkling Stopper, patent pending, features an internal clamp design that self-adjusts to fit snugly all standard 750 mL and magnum 1.5L bottles, including special bottles from well-known luxury champagne producers, making it truly universally compatible. This exclusive locking design also maintains up to 55 psi of pressure, enough to preserve the natural pressure found in sparkling wines before opening. The Sparkling device, patent pending, uses Coravin Pure Sparkling CO2 capsules to inject carbon dioxide into the bottle through the Sparkling Stopper to refill the bottle.
“We know from conversations with our business partners and customers that there is a strong need for a product that allows sparkling wine by the glass consumption, probably even greater than for still wines,” said Christopher Ladd, chief executive officer of Coravin, Inc. “Coravin Sparkling is able to revolutionize the way the world enjoys sparkling wine, and we are excited to share our passion and innovation to improve the wine experience with professionals and wine lovers around the world“.
