Coravin CV 004764 Zwart Naald Fast Pour

I have had the coravin system for a few years and I am convinced they must be using a different type of metal, or cheaper version now. In the past, the needles would last a decent amount of time. Now, it seems to bend without trying. I am always extra careful when inserting the needle through the cork, and the last bottle I tried, it bent the needle while very slowly and carefully inserting into the cork. For the price, I expect better quality. I noticed other people on here have had the same issues and have also complained regarding pricing. The whole point is to preserve the wine, thus saving money, but if I have to spend almost $100 on a needle, it makes me question how much longer I will be using the system. I'm disappointed as it used to be a great system.

Aiguille un peu cher, mais parfaite

Delivery within 3 days. Very efficient

Yes, I think it's too expensive for what it is but five stars because it does work and function as promised.

I unknowingly ordered the quick pour version (didn't realise there are actually 3, all colour coded). I instantly noticed the difference when I replaced my damaged standard needle that came with it. (Damaged after 1 year of heavy use). The quick pour is literally that, it pours something like three times quicker. Not sure if it gets through gas capsules quicker but we'll see.
