The Timeless model with everything included. A thin needle goes through the cork, argon fills the space of the wine you pour, and when you pull the needle out, the cork closes again. The rest of the bottle never comes into contact with oxygen.
The same technology as the Timeless Three+, with more accessories and a high-gloss finish with metallic accents. With the six Coravin Screw Caps you can pour wine with a screw cap by the glass as well.
- Works on natural cork and agglomerated cork such as Diam
- On a screw cap with a Coravin Screw Cap
- Up to 15 glasses of 150 ml per argon capsule
In the box: Timeless Six+, three argon capsules, an aerator, six Coravin Screw Caps, a carry case and a bottle sleeve.
Not suitable for synthetic corks or glass stoppers.
Read how the Coravin Timeless works and which model suits you.
How the Coravin Timeless works
A thin needle goes through the cork. As you pour, argon fills the space of the wine that leaves the bottle, and when you pull the needle back, the cork closes again. The rest of the bottle never knows you were there and goes back in the rack as if it had never been touched.
Put it on the bottle
You slide the bottle sleeve around the bottle, place the system over the neck and push it down in one movement. The needle goes through the cork without taking any material out.
Press and pour
A short press on the trigger puts argon into the bottle. The wine flows out as soon as you let go. A glass takes about half a minute.
Pull it out
The cork expands again and closes the hole. Whatever stays in the bottle lies under a layer of argon and never meets oxygen.
Put the bottle back
On its side, at the temperature you normally keep wine at. If the bottle came out of the fridge, let it stand upright for a moment first until the cork has resealed.
Rather watch than read?
In a few minutes, Coravin shows you how to put the Timeless on the bottle, pour and take it off again. The video was filmed with the Six+, but the Three+ works in exactly the same way.

Which bottles it works on
A Timeless is a wonderful device within its limits, and an expensive disappointment outside them. So first check which closures your bottles have.
Wine with a natural cork
Red, white, rosé and orange. Coravin lists natural cork and agglomerated cork such as Diam, and the latter reseals just as well. Two closures are explicitly not on the list: a plastic synthetic cork and a glass stopper.
Plastic synthetic cork
You can pour through it, but plastic does not spring back. The hole stays open, air gets in and the wine oxidises anyway. So pouring works, keeping does not.
Screw cap, with a Coravin Screw Cap fitted
A lot of white wine comes with a screw cap, and the needle cannot go through that. You twist the original cap off the bottle and put a Coravin Screw Cap on, with a self-sealing silicone centre. The Six+ comes with six in the box, the Three+ with two.
What it costs per glass
The device is the investment; the argon is what you keep paying afterwards. That second amount weighs heaviest, because you pay it again with every glass.
Argon per glass
Based on a capsule price of about €9.17 (twelve-pack) and Coravin's own figure: up to 15 glasses of 150 ml per capsule. The smaller glasses are our own conversion. Treat this as a rough guide, not as a fixed rate.
Who it solves a problem for
At home, a Coravin solves three things, and all three come down to the same point: you no longer have to finish a good bottle in one go.
You don't drink a whole bottle
On your own or as a couple, a bottle on a weekday evening is often too much. With a Coravin you pour one glass and the rest stays exactly as it was.
- A glass with dinner, without opening the bottle
- The rest of the bottle is just as good next week
- No more half bottles down the sink
You have bottles put away
The bottle you are saving for an occasion that never quite comes. With a Coravin you can taste a glass along the way without sacrificing it.
- Check whether a wine is ready to drink before you open the whole bottle
- Follow a bottle over the months, one glass at a time
- Pour your special bottle on an ordinary Tuesday too
You like to compare
Two or three wines side by side, without having to finish three bottles.
- White with the starter and red with the main course, on the same evening
- A glass of something expensive next to something everyday, to taste the difference
- A small tasting at home, with whatever is in your rack
The gas and the rest
A Timeless keeps pouring for years, as long as there is argon in it. These are the parts you will need later on.
Frequently asked questions
The questions we had ourselves before we started stocking this. Where the answer comes from Coravin itself, the source is given underneath.
Which corks and closures work, and which do not?
A Timeless works on natural cork and on agglomerated cork such as Diam. On a screw cap it only works with a Coravin Screw Cap fitted. With a plastic synthetic cork you can still pour, but the hole no longer closes and the wine oxidises. A glass stopper is a no-go: it damages the needle permanently.
Coravin, FAQ and support: Wine, Bottles and Closures
How many glasses do you get from one argon capsule?
Coravin reckons on up to 15 glasses of 150 ml with a Timeless. If you pour 125 ml, that works out at around eighteen glasses, although every pour also uses a little extra gas. Coravin recommends simply pulling the cork for the last glass, which saves argon.
Coravin, FAQ. The conversion to 125 ml is ours.
What does a glass from a Coravin cost?
Only the argon, since you had the wine anyway. With a capsule price of just over nine euros, that comes to about 41 cents per 100 ml glass, 51 cents at 125 ml and 61 cents at 150 ml.
Our own calculation, using the capsule price from Coravin Nederland
How long does the wine keep afterwards?
Coravin itself talks of weeks, months or even years, and mentions bottles that were tasted again more than twenty years after the first pour. We put it more cautiously: that is a manufacturer's claim, and there is no published independent research that confirms it over such periods. Count on months with a good natural cork, and take the promise of years for what it is. For a screw-cap bottle with a Coravin Screw Cap, Coravin itself is not consistent either: the Dutch site says three months, the American product page six.
Coravin, Timeless Systems support and the Screw Caps product page
Three+ or Six+: which one do I need?
They pour in exactly the same way: the same needle, the same argon, the same handling. The difference is in the box. With the Six+ you get three argon capsules, six Coravin Screw Caps and a carry case, plus a high-gloss finish in several colours. With the Three+ you get two capsules and two screw caps, in matt black. If you drink a lot of wine with a screw cap, or want to take it with you, the Six+ is the logical choice.
Coravin's own comparison table
Can I use capsules from another brand?
There are capsules from other brands on the market that are said to fit a Coravin. Coravin itself advises against them and says using them can void the warranty, because the capsules are under high pressure. That is why we only sell the originals.
Coravin, FAQ and safety instructions
How many times can you put the needle into the same bottle?
A cork does not last for ever. Coravin says the needle can damage the cork after about fifteen insertions, and advises replacing the cork after that. At home you will rarely reach that limit, except with a bottle you pour a glass from every now and then over many months.
Coravin, Dutch FAQ
Does it work on old wine with a brittle cork?
With due care. Coravin makes a thinner needle for fragile corks. And Coravin gives a clear rule for when to stop: if the cork moves while you push the needle in or while you pour, it has been compromised and will not keep the wine properly any more. Take the system off and open the bottle with an ordinary corkscrew. With old wine that has thrown a sediment there is one more thing: the wine comes out with some force, and that can stir the sediment up.
Coravin, support page on needle care
Can the wine still breathe in the bottle?
No, and that is the whole idea. The bottle is under argon, so no oxygen gets in. With a young, closed wine that is a limitation. That is why every system comes with an aerator in the box: it does in the glass what the bottle no longer does.
Coravin's comparison table, where the aerator is listed with every system
How do I look after the needle?
After use, run a little tap water through the needle and dry the outside with a soft cloth. If it gets blocked, there is usually a piece of cork in it; Coravin supplies a clearing tool for that. Replace the needle when the black non-stick coating wears off and it turns silver.
Coravin, support page on needle care
What warranty does it come with?
Coravin gives a manufacturer's warranty on material and manufacturing defects for purchases from the brand or an authorised retailer. That warranty comes in addition to your statutory rights against us as the seller and does not limit them. Damage to the wine itself is not covered.
