Testing Coravin Timeless and Sparkling with Greg Lambrecht

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Wined Up Podcast, we sit down with Greg Lambrecht, the founder and inventor of Coravin, to explore something many wine drinkers never talk about enough, which is the emotional bond we form with wine. Greg explains how memories, people and places shape the way a single glass can stay with us for years. We also cover how Coravin changed the way we taste wine by letting us explore more variety without ever opening a bottle. We walk through Greg’s full story, from early prototypes to the first time he realised he could taste ten wines in one night without wasting any of them. We also dig into how the Timeless and Sparkling systems work, why cork resealing matters, how pressure is restored in sparkling bottles and why this design took years to perfect. Then we put Coravin to the test in a triangle blind tasting. We compare preserved wines against freshly opened bottles, both still and sparkling, to see whether there is any real difference. We also talk through common myths like the three second screw cap rule, vacuum pumps, decanter lids and gas sprays, and what actually holds up in the real world. If you want to understand wine preservation better, or you are curious about whether Coravin genuinely works, this episode goes deeper than most reviews. Stick around for the full tasting and the results, because they surprised both of us.
