Coravin Timeless Three+

Sophie's Take

If you've ever hesitated to open a special bottle because you weren't sure you'd finish it, the Coravin Timeless Three+ is about to change your wine life. This ingenious device lets you pour a glass—or just a taste—while keeping the rest of the bottle perfectly preserved for weeks, months, or even years.

How It Works

The magic is deceptively simple. A thin, surgical-grade needle pierces through the cork without removing it. As you pour, 100% pure argon gas—the same inert gas wineries use during bottling—flows into the bottle to replace the wine. When you remove the needle, the cork naturally reseals itself. No oxygen ever touches your wine.

What's in the Box

• Coravin Timeless Three+ device (sleek matte black)
• 2 Pure Argon Capsules (about 30 glasses total)
• 2 Timeless Screw Caps (for bottles with screw tops)
• Coravin Aerator (mimics an hour of decanting in seconds)
• Needle clearing tool
• USB-C charging cable

Why I Love It

The Timeless Three+ has genuinely changed how I approach my wine collection. Those bottles I was "saving for a special occasion"? Now every Tuesday can be special. I can pour a glass of that 2015 Barolo with my pasta without committing to finishing the whole bottle.

It's also fantastic for tastings. I can open five different wines for guests and know they'll all still be pristine next week. The included aerator is a nice touch too—it delivers the texture of proper decanting right into your glass.

The Bottom Line

At $209, the Coravin Timeless Three+ isn't an impulse buy—but it pays for itself quickly if you've ever poured good wine down the drain. Named one of Oprah's Favorite Things, it brings genuine "wine freedom" to your home. Pour what you want, when you want, and trust that the rest will be waiting exactly as you left it.
