Revolutionizing Dining Experience with Coravin
Normally, restaurants shy away from offering premium wines by-the-glass as the cost of waste is too high.
When a bottle of wine is opened, the restaurant has three days on average to sell the rest of the bottle before oxidation occurs and the wine becomes unpalatable.
With The Coravin Wine Access System, the Sommelier never has to pull the cork from the bottle. The Coravin Wine Access System is a proprietary system of Coravin Inc. that allows the wine to be poured from a bottle without ever pulling a cork, thus saving the wine from being exposed to oxygen and preventing the oxidation process from occurring.

Goodness Sake
Sake is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented rice. Sometimes referred to as rice wine, sake is produced by a similar brewing process to that of beer’s.
Sake may sound like a simple product, rice, water and yeast, however the slightest change to the process can make a world of difference. The source of the rice is crucial to the consistency of the product. And variation in the koji production, or the temperature of the fermentation can also result in a drastically different profile. The process of making this delectable beverage is truly an art that has evolved over the centuries until today.

It is one of the rare food substances that can be entirely produced by a single person (the vinegrower and winemaker), from its beginnings in the vineyard to its bottling.
It is a drink whose diverse colours, smells and flavours have no equivalent in terms of their range.
Finally it is, remarkably, one of those rare substances whose aromas and flavours can evoke the place an individual wine comes from.
