Coravin wine preservation system

Coravin is a pioneering brand in the wine industry, famous for its innovative wine-by-the-glass systems. The company was founded in 2011 by Greg Lambrecht, a medical device inventor who applied his expertise in high-precision needles to solve the problem of wine oxidation. The first Coravin system was officially launched in 2013, allowing users to pour wine without ever removing the cork by replacing the extracted liquid with pure argon gas.

While Coravin is headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts, USA, its manufacturing process is global. The main apparatus is assembled in China by the same partner responsible for other high-end kitchen electronics like Keurig machines. Specialized components, such as the medical-grade needles, are manufactured in New England (USA), while the high-purity argon gas used in the capsules is sourced from Austria.

The brand remains under the ownership of Coravin, Inc., a privately held company. It has expanded its product line to include the 'Timeless' series for long-term aging, the 'Pivot' for everyday use, and a 'Sparkling' system designed specifically for champagne and prosecco. As of 2026, Coravin continues to lead the category of premium wine accessories, serving both home enthusiasts and professional sommeliers worldwide.
