Greg tells us all about the development process and some awesome stories about stuff that happened as he was developing today's Coravin Greg and I talk about the weird quirks of the wine industry and how being outside of it helped inspire his enormous creativity We get geeky on the details of how Coravin works. Greg sets me straight on Argon gas and why it doesn't work when I spray the stuff in the bottle but DOES work in Coravin. We talk about the next frontier for Coravin : screwcaps and sparkling!
