Great bottles have a small paradox: they are exactly the ones you would like to taste before committing, and exactly the ones no one willingly opens for just one glass. Coravin unties this knot — and transforms the way you can experience a tasting.

The luxury of trying, without compromise

With Coravin we can pour you a glass of an important label while leaving the bottle substantially intact. The rest remains fresh as if just opened — for weeks, months, even over twenty years. This allows us to keep open, simultaneously, bottles that you would never see by the glass in a normal wine bar.

For you it means being able to compare two producers side by side, try a vintage before taking it home, or treat yourself to a great wine without the weight of the full bottle.

A wine that continues to live

There is also a fascinating aspect for those who love details. Since the cork is never removed and oxygen is kept out by Argon gas, the wine does not undergo oxidation and continues its natural evolution over time. The bottle is not "opened": it has simply been tasted, and continues on its path.

How we experience it at Mr.Vino

This is why we define ourselves as a Coravin Wine Bar and not simply an enoteca with by-the-glass service. The technology gives us the freedom to tell you about the wine the way we like: with calm, for comparisons, following curiosity. Come visit us in Via Carlo Maderno 23 in Lugano and ask us what we have "on Coravin" at this moment — often that is where the most beautiful discoveries are born.
