Can Coravin Be Used on Champagne

Can Coravin Be Used on Champagne

Opening a bottle of bubbly marks a celebration – even if that celebration is simply enjoying a glass of your favourite Champagne, Prosecco, Cava or any other sparkling wine. But, after opening and having just-one-glass, we’re all too familiar with the unfortunate truth that the bottle will lose its sparkle and flavour after a few short hours.

Well, at least that used to be the case. Queue: Coravin Sparkling™.

With Coravin Sparkling you can preserve your bottle of bubbly for up to 4 weeks after opening. This means you can sample a glass today, have a sip tomorrow, or share a few bottles with friends over the weekend.

How does Coravin Sparkling work?

One of the major challenges facing the sparkling wine industry is the fragility of the wine. Within hours of opening a bottle of bubbly, the bubbles break down, leading to a once-sparkling beverage losing its effervescence. Coravin Sparkling Sparkling Wine Preservation System solves this problem with a portable, easy-to-use system that pairs a secure, universal-fit stopper with a hand-held charging unit to maintain the wine’s carbonation level between pours – whether that’s a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks.

By charging the bottle with CO2 after use, the gas creates a blanket so that oxygen can’t get in and carbon dioxide can’t get out. This ensures your bottle of bubbly doesn’t go flat, and its lovely flavours don’t evaporate or spoil.

How does it compare to other champagne and sparkling wine preservers?

Like a lot of us, you may have tried the spoon-in-the-bottle trick, or even purchased a highly reviewed bottle stopper, but this only preserves the wine for a few short days. As opposed to the Coravin Sparkling system, which preserves the Champagne (or sparkling wine) for up to 4 weeks.

The Coravin Sparkling wine by the glass system uses CO2 (the same gas that creates bubbles in the wine). It fills the headspace in the bottle and prevents the bubbles in the sparkling wine from dissipating. This keeps the original effervescence intact, ensuring the last glass tastes just as good as the first.

How do I use the Coravin Sparkling system?


If you’ve ever used one of our preservation devices, whether it be the Timeless or Pivot, you know the technology is both fun and easy. Sparkling is no different. After opening your bottle of champagne or sparkling wine, raise the Sparkling Stopper’s locking handle to the unlock position. Place the Stopper on the lip of the open bottle and firmly press down until the Stopper is flush with the bottle.

How to Use Coravin Sparkling®

After every pour, immediately place the Coravin Sparkling stopper on the bottle. We recommend charging your bottle at the end of the day or when you’re ready to store the bottle for a later date. If you finish the bottle in 1-2 days, it might not need a charge – simply store it in a cold, dark place. To preserve the effervescence, charge the bottle after each pour and consume the wine within 4 weeks.
