CORAVIN Timeless Fast Pour Needle - Preserve Wine for Years - Needle Replacement for Timeless Wine Preservation System - Pours 20% Faster - for by-The-Glass Wine Saver - Gift for Wine Lovers

I recently purchased the Coravin Timeless Standard Needle, and it has exceeded my expectations. This needle is a must-have for any wine enthusiast who enjoys preserving the quality of their wines over time. It works flawlessly with my Coravin system, allowing me to pour a glass without removing the cork and, more importantly, without compromising the wine’s integrity. The needle is durable and smoothly inserts into the cork, ensuring a perfect pour every time. It’s easy to clean and replace, and it’s made a noticeable difference in maintaining the freshness of my wine collection. Highly recommend for anyone serious about preserving their wines!

After breaking the needle on my Coravin while sticking it into a bottle of wine, I realized something! These needles don't last forever. I also realized that my old needle was getting dull and it was requiring more effort to push down into the cork, so that's probably why it finally broke. The new needle is sharper than a tack and easy to insert. It was easy to install and fit my Coravin perfectly. Hopefully I'll get 2-3 more years out of this one, but doubtful since I am now using the Coravin a lot more.

I don't detect any difference in quality between these needles and the ones that came with the Coravin. Recommended.

Standard Coravin needle. Good flow rate and sharp enough to puncture new and older corks. It can pass more sediment than the narrower vintage needle so slowly tilt your bottle and then hold the tilt for a few moments before you start the pour. I pre-buy a backup needle as soon as I replace one in use. So I have a spare on hand. I wasn’t paying attention and allowed the Coravin to go in at an angle bending my 3 year old needle.

Good Coravin needle, use it all the time with Caymus and Don Melchor wine

I broke the original stinger that came with my device. I had always been frustrated by the rate the original poured. This replacement not only was easy to change but pours at a faster rate too. I would encourage anyone with similar complaints to switch out their stinger for this one, whether it's broken or not.

Yes, I think it's too expensive for what it is but five stars because it does work and function as promised.

Just fine product!
