Question 1

Accepted Answer

Thanks for your question.  There is a 1-year warranty on the Coravin Systems and that includes 1 free standard replacement needle.  Please contact Coravin Customer Service for assistance, and have your Coravin's serial number ready.  To get the serial number, move the clamps down to the bottom of the guide. Turn the Coravin upside down.  You will find the Serial Number on the underneath part of the handle, just behind the needle grip.

Question 2

How long does a needle last

Accepted Answer

Needles come in three different styles. wish this was not the case
Each has pros and cons. I use them in a restaurant setting, 70 wines by the glass with 40 under coravin. The "speed" needle is the fastest pour but, thinner and has the shortest life expectancy. Needles get thicker and last longer with "the classic" being the thickest.

Question 3

Are these needles ok to use with the Coravin Model 2?

Accepted Answer

As far as I know, same needles, same cartridges.

Question 4

is there any conversion kit for the coravin so it can be used on a screw cap?

Accepted Answer

Buy a set of the screw caps.
Quickly remove the bottles screw cap and immediately replace with the coravin screw cap
There is a silicone center to use the coravin needle
Each cap is rated for 50 punctures of the needle.  I’ve used this multiple tomes and had wine stay good for months in between.  I believe coravin says 3 months storage with their screw cap.
The key is switching caps quickly and sealing tight since air is the “enemy” in preserving wine.
Many of the Coravin sets come with one
Doesn’t work with the Pivot product
