Seems like the least moustachean thing around, right? WRONG!
We’ve retired with a healthy ‘stache and we like wine. Our wine cellar is nice and full. Sorry two buck chuck fanatics, we like good values in the $10-$30 range and for special occasion something better that may have been aging for ten or fifteen years.
We’re doing dry January and we’d like to drink less in February. One problem is, when you open a nice bottle of wine, it’s just not as good the next day, no matter what corks or stoppers we use. Coravin promises to change that since it injects argon into the bottle preserving the wine left in it.
I know, the math is questionable.

If my wife has one glass of wine and I have two, that leaves two glasses that I will likely drink and that’s not good for me. Drink it tomorrow or pour it out you say, yeah right. So let’s see this as less a money saving measure for wine and more a health saving measure. Stoicism, discipline, blah blah. We can talk when I’ve turned off the gas heat in our house once and for all.
Of course the initial cost is a big thing and there’s was a HALF OFF SALE ON BLACK FRIDAY and my wife didn’t get it for me. ARRGGGH. I’ll buy it on eBay or Craigslist and come close to that, I guess.
So, anybody have one and have reports?
