Coravin’s founder Greg Lambrecht invented a wine pouring system inspired by a chemotherapy needle that allows consumers to enjoy a glass or two from different bottles while preserving the freshness of the remaining wine.

Coravin’s technology and concept was so avant-garde that reaction from the fiercely traditional wine industry was mixed. Lambrecht, who is now based in Boston, USA, said: “The Australians are open-minded, receptive and extremely creative. They adopted Coravin everywhere, from the wineries and restaurants to the distributors and consumers at home.

It was the pandemic that threw the company into the limelight. Lambrecht explained: “From a few million dollars in trade sales in February 2020, the figures plummeted to US$435 two months later. We were in panic. Restaurants were shutting down worldwide. Later on, many consumers starting buying Coravin products because they wanted to have that restaurant experience at home and the sales figures shifted towards home use.

Fool Wine Bar’s head sommelier Davis Tan Jia Jie agreed: “For an explorative place like ours, it instils confidence in our guests and encourages them to try something out of their comfort zone. The preservation of wines Coravin offers compared to other technologies on the market remains unmatched; it’s compact, reliable and easy to operate.”
