Wine can now be tasted without opening the bottle, thanks to a new gadget.
US-designed and made, the Coravin Wine Access System allows users to extract wine from sealed bottles, without pulling the cork and starting the oxidisation process.
The systems launch, said its makers, will liberate restaurant owners and sommeliers, and wine fans can expect to see a much broader offering of wines by the glass.
The system works by pushing a thin, hollow needle through the foil and cork into the bottle.
