Eurocave. I have been buying since they first hit these shores in about 1981
As a matter of fact, THAT first unit is still in use in my buddy's garage. It only had one compressor change in about 1995. 28 years and that ain't so bad!

Wonderful short term tool. Can't imagine placing a bottle back into the cellar for the longer run. My Coravined bottles stay on counter and are gone with 2 weeks or less. Last nights 2008 Jones Sisters is still fresh after a week.

Re: 2014 Greer Cabernet-unusual incident
Seems that somehow this wine was tainted by Coravin. I have been told that some people blow into the needle to clear of any residual wine after use. Maybe a microbe of saliva or other foreign substance that the needle may have come into contact with is the culprit.

Selling previously owned and previously tariffed wine is a niche business and the wines should be tax exempt in every state. I get the 'tax us to death' thing, hell I live in NYC but I think this is a bit much and I did not know CA always paid tax. Cheerios.
