coravin pivot™ black

Far superior to vacuum systems!

I live alone and when I want to enjoy a nice bottle of wine I use the Pivot system to keep it fresh from the first day to the last (usually 7 days). It works just as described and is simple and very easy to use. If you've never used a wine preservation system, it's time to start. Forget vacuum systems (I've used two different ones) and the time consuming pumping. With a vacuum system, after every glass there's still more and fresh air (and oxygen) in the bottle to degrade the wine. With pivot there's nothing but inert Argon gas in the bottle. So forget vacuum and go with Pivot.

Drip

This unit aerated great. But continues to drop after standing the bottle up. Not sure it stabilized the wine or the week. Cork was very difficult to remove and splattered wine every where on removal.
