Coravin Trade Masterclass with Inventor/Founder Greg Lambrecht
Save the date, because this October we're hosting an extra special trade masterclass, with none other than the founder and inventor of the revolutionary CORAVIN™ preservation system - Greg Lambrecht!
Join us at The Northern Club, where we'll demonstrate the Coravin™ preservation system at work and pour two glasses each of three premium wines to compare and contrast: one that's been opened on the day and one that's been Coravined in advance.

Coravin: A Wine Revolution
"Coravin is the most transformational and exciting new product for wine lovers that has been invented/developed in the last 30+ years. This is a killer device...[it's] going to revolutionise drinking wine..."
- Robert Parker Jr., Wine Writer, Expert & Critic.
New to the Dhall & Nash collection is Coravin. Enjoy your favourite wines without pulling the cork! Coravin Technology allows you to pour and enjoy fine wines without disturbing the natural ageing process - or the need to commit to the whole bottle. Smart technology made beautifully simple. For centuries, the cork had to be removed in order to enjoy a glass of wine - that era is over. The Coravin System keeps the cork in the bottle, where it's been since it was first sealed in the winery. Now you can explore your finest wines by the glass whenever you like, and feel confident that instead of oxidising, the wine remaining in the bottle will continue to evolve naturally.
How does it work, you ask? When the Coravin System is in place, a thin hollow needle is inserted through the cork to extract the wine. You don't need to remove the foil, or the cork, to access the wine. The bottle is then pressurised with Argon, an inert gas that's in the air we breathe. Once the bottle has been pressurised, the wine flows through the needle and pours into your glass. When the Coravin System and its needle are removed, the cork reseals itself. The remaining wine never comes in contact with oxygen, and continues to evolve naturally.
The Coravin system was invented by Greg Lambrecht, a man with a background in physics, mechanical engineering, nuclear power and medical devices.
"I fell in love with wine as a young man and had amassed an at-home collection that began collecting dust while my wife was pregnant. I still wanted to enjoy great glasses of wine, but didn’t want to commit to full bottles. For me, wine is a thinking beverage – it’s something you contemplate, experience side by side... So here I am, an expert in needles. In particular, needles that don’t do damage to things. So I came up with an idea to pass a non-coring needle through the cork while it was still in the bottle. My hope was that I could then return the remaining wine to my cellar, and enjoy it again and again, whenever I desired. I’m a science geek, so what followed was a decade of development and testing until I had a system that left the cork in place, but still delivered great glasses of wine, indistinguishable from untouched bottles."
"It is to wine what downloading is to music." - Charlotte Sager-Wilde, Mission, Wine Bar & Restaurant, UK
"Gadget of the Year: It could have been the iPhone, iPad2 or a Leica D-Lux Camera - but it's none of them. I looked for a gadget that is unique and solves a problem never solved before. My hands-down favourite is the Coravin Wine System." - Phil Baker, San Diego Source
"Nothing I know of preserves wine in an opened or 'accessed' bottle for years as this system does." - Jancis Robinson, Wine Writer & Critic
"This product is nothing short of amazing for both restauranteurs and wine-lovers alike." - Joe Bastiantich, Restauranteur & Wine Expert
