Keeping your Coravin Timeless Wine by-the-glass system clean is one of the easiest ways to protect every pour. Greg, Coravin's founder and inventor, shares his go-to maintenance tip to keep things running at their best.
Why Cleaning Matters
Unlike a corkscrew, your Coravin system makes direct contact with wine. Over time, residue can build up inside — and that can affect the taste of the wine you're preserving. A quick clean after each use keeps your system free of buildup and ready to pour wine exactly as the winemaker intended.
Simple Cleaning Steps
- Rinse After Use: At the end of every session, hold your Coravin system under the faucet and run warm water through the spout and precision-engineered needle. This clears any wine residue from the valve and needle – simple and effective.
- Deep Clean for Older Systems: If your system hasn't been cleaned in a while, follow the warm water rinse with a small amount of inexpensive vodka poured through the spout. It breaks down any buildup inside and leaves nothing behind, so it's the only deep clean your system needs.
Pro Tip
Make rinsing part of your end-of-night routine. The more consistently you clean your system, the better every pour will taste.
Keep Every Pour Perfect
A little regular maintenance goes a long way. With these simple steps, your Coravin system stays in top shape – so every glass tastes exactly as it should.
