Coravin Sparkling Stoppers

Raise the Locking Handle to the “unlock” symbol in the most upright position. (You will see the guide with markings on the side of the Stopper.) Then attach the Stopper onto the neck of the bottle. Firmly press the locking handle down until the handle is flush, (this may take some substantial force – do not be concerned – this is to attach the clamps onto the bottle; it will not harm the bottle). The Stopper is now ready for the gas to be inserted.

The universal Sparkling Stopper features an internal locking clamp design that self-adjusts to fit securely on all standard 750 mL and magnum 1.5L bottles, even the distinctive bottles from notable luxury champagne producers. Do note however that if the bottle has a thick rim, it may take a bit more force to attach the Stopper.

The Coravin Sparkling Stopper works with the Sparkling Charger to allow sparkling wine to be ‘recharged’. The Stopper is attached to the bottle after pouring and locked into place with the Locking Handle. It maintains the pressure in the bottle. When ready for the next pour, the Stopper can be released and removed. There are three “stop” points on the handle – these are marked on the side of the Stopper.
- Unlocked – fully open – ensure you push the Locking Handle all the way up – it will require an extra “push”
- Mid-lock – feel a bit of a ‘tug’ when bringing down the handle. This indicates that the internal clamps have “opened” and are setting around the flange on the bottle
- Locked – Pushing the Locking Handle fully down attaches the clamps to the bottle and secures the Stopper.
- To Release – a full upward motion of the Locking Handle– don’t stop at midpoint, (push it up; it will not break)
