How to Use Coravin Sparkling
1. Install the Sparkling Stopper
After you have poured as much sparkling wine as you desire, raise the Stopper’s Locking Handle all the way up to the unlocked position. Place the Stopper on the open bottle and firmly press the Locking Handle down until it is flush.
2. Charge the Bottle with CO2
Check the Pressure Indicator to ensure it is green, indicating that there is a Coravin Pure™ Sparkling CO2 Capsule installed. Align the Charger on top of the Stopper and press down firmly. The Pressure Indicator will change to red, indicating that the bottle is ready to charge. When the Indicator changes back to green, the bottle is fully charged.

FAQs:
How do I attach the Coravin Sparkling Stopper?
Raise the Locking Handle to the “unlock” symbol in the most upright position. (You will see the guide with markings on the side of the Stopper.) Then attach the Stopper onto the neck of the bottle. Firmly press the locking handle down until the handle is flush, (this may take some substantial force – do not be concerned – this is to attach the clamps onto the bottle; it will not harm the bottle). The Stopper is now ready for the gas to be inserted.
Will the Coravin Sparkling Stopper fit all Sparkling bottles?
The universal Sparkling Stopper features an internal locking clamp design that self-adjusts to fit securely on all standard 750 mL and magnum 1.5L bottles, even the distinctive bottles from notable luxury champagne producers. Do note however that if the bottle has a thick rim, it may take a bit more force to attach the Stopper.
What is the Coravin Sparkling Stopper?
The Coravin Sparkling Stopper works with the Sparkling Charger to allow sparkling wine to be ‘recharged’. The Stopper is attached to the bottle after pouring and locked into place with the Locking Handle. It maintains the pressure in the bottle. When ready for the next pour, the Stopper can be released and removed. There are three “stop” points on the handle – these are marked on the side of the Stopper.
– Unlocked – fully open – ensure you push the Locking Handle all the way up – it will require an extra “push”
– Mid-lock – feel a bit of a ‘tug’ when bringing down the handle. This indicates that the internal clamps have “opened” and are setting around the flange on the bottle
– Locked – Pushing the Locking Handle fully down attaches the clamps to the bottle and secures the Stopper.
– To Release – a full upward motion of the Locking Handle– don’t stop at midpoint, (push it up; it will not break)

History of Coravin
Greg Lambrecht, the founder and inventor of Coravin, combined his knowledge of medical-grade needles with his passion for wine to develop a unique wine preservation system that allowed him to pour wine without removing the cork. In the late 1990s, he brought his expertise in creating ultra-gentle and exceptionally precise needles for pediatric chemotherapy delivery to his home workshop, where he began working on a device that would change the way he drank wine.
In his years of testing, Greg worked with wine makers and other experts in the wine industry to blind taste their wines using his device. They tested bottles that had been accessed 3 months, 6 months, one year, and three years previously against fresh bottles of the same wines. He continues to test Coravin Systems around the world, even testing a bottle that was 14 years old, accessed with one of his original prototypes. With every blind tasting, the results are clear: wines accessed with the Coravin Wine Preservation System remain as fresh as the day they were bottled, even years later. Today, wine professionals and wine lovers around the world enjoy wine one glass at a time using Coravin Wine Preservation Systems.
