This Christmas, the world’s leading wine preservation company Coravin is extending its highly successful range with its most exciting release yet: the Timeless Six+ in Ocean Blue. With its deep oceanic blue and sleek black detailing, it’s a package that brings together medical-grade precision engineering, the very best in entertaining, and a genuine pledge to the seas that once ferried wine to distant shores.
Wine connoisseurs, sommeliers, and gracious hosts have all shared the same eternal conundrum: the reluctance to uncork an exceptional vintage when all you desire is only a single glass. Coravin, the wine-technology pioneer that brilliantly solved this dilemma over a decade ago, has now become an indispensable fixture in modern cellars. Today, it is the unseen hand behind the wine-by-the-glass alchemy in more than three-quarters of the UK’s Michelin-starred restaurants—with a glass poured through its precision needle every single second.
Innovation Driven by Curiosity: The Story Behind Founder Greg Lambrecht
To understand the impact of Coravin is to understand the mind of its founder and inventor, Greg Lambrecht. A medical device engineer by trade, Greg’s journey began with a simple personal desire: he wanted the freedom to sample different grape varieties, vintages, and regions without committing to an entire bottle every time inspiration struck. Drawing on his surgical know-how, he conjured an ultra-thin needle so slender and deft it pierces through cork without moving any of the cork material.
How the Timeless System Operates
To pour, the user simply secures the device’s smart clamps over the bottle’s neck and presses the handle down, driving the needle straight through the cork. As the bottle is tilted over a glass and the trigger is pressed, pure, food-grade argon gas is injected to pressurize the bottle, allowing the wine to flow smoothly from the spout while shielding the remaining contents from oxidation and spoilage. Once uprighted and withdrawn, the natural elasticity of the cork enables it to reseal completely, leaving the wine untouched by air and perfectly intact to age for months longer. Greg’s invention effectively jettisoned any fear of waste and oxidized bottles, completely changing the way the world drinks, serves, and collects wine.
Beyond the technical feat, Greg sees a kinship between the legacy of winemaking and the stewardship of the sea. Before Coravin, there was the ocean—the first vessel, carrying wine to distant lands, introducing strangers to new tastes. Now, as those same waters strain under the weight of our neglect, Coravin mobilises its influence in order to restore the oceans that were once the original vehicle for the global wine trade.
Beyond the Bottle: A Purposeful Partnership with Tusk Trust
With the arrival of the new Ocean Blue, the company partners with Tusk Trust, the renowned conservation charity with royal patronage, in order to breathe life back into coral reefs off Tanzania’s coast.
With every Ocean Blue Timeless Six+ uncorked before the year’s end, a portion of its price flows directly into the Wild Impact project: a local effort to seed 1,000 reef stars across scarred ocean floors that have been damaged by bleaching due to warming. The initiative will also directly benefit the local communities, as they will create local employment opportunities for women as part of the Women Restoring Reefs initiative, where they will be trained as marine rangers.
Through this partnership, each Coravin system becomes more than a tool for wine; it is an investment in marine biodiversity, a gesture toward healing reefs and empowering communities to become stewards of their own blue frontiers.
The Art of the One Glass: Versatility Meets Festive Craftsmanship
That same ocean-inspired intentionality carries directly into the design and performance of the device itself. While its striking deep-blue finish makes it a stunning centrepiece for holiday hosting, it’s ultimately an instrument of sheer practicality. Far from being limited to natural corks, it includes Coravin Screw Cap attachments that allow wine lovers to preserve screw-capped bottles with the exact same precision for up to six months.
The Ocean Blue limited edition arrives as a fully formed gifting package. It comprises the full Ocean Blue Timeless Six+ system, Coravin Pure Argon Capsules, Coravin Screw Caps, the Premium Timeless Aerator for immediate decanting, and a luxury carry case.
For those intent on elevating their sommelier arsenal, Coravin offers a range of complementary accessories, including the Coravin Wine Journal for recording tasting notes and the sommelier-recommended Coravin x Birdy.Tex Glass Towel for a perfect finish. For sparkling occasions, the Coravin Sparkling system delivers crisp bubbles for weeks after opening, while the accessible Coravin Pivot+ keeps everyday table wines fresh for up to a month.
