Coravin Hazard

[Peter Creasey]

it has come to our attention that, in certain circumstances, wine bottles can burst when used with the Coravin System, presenting a risk of lacerations.

We have voluntarily stopped selling and shipping Coravin Systems until we can fully implement an approved Corrective Action Plan.

This could be Patrick Cappiello's new parlor trick.

Combined sabrage and explosion would be a hard act to follow.

He needs new material.

I wonder if by chance it's the same bottles that I find not to be able to withstand the pressure of an ah-so corkscrew

Yeah, neither Coravin or ah-so corkscrews seem to work on Champagne, and I don't have a saber. What to do? The shoe trick?

Glass is very vulnerable to superficial defects, particularly fresh ones. They can propagate in a hurry even if they start very small.

See--any glazier cutting glass, marks from diamonds, sabering, and any other common glass cutting operations. Remember cutting glass tubing with that little triangular file in high school? Same drill.

Corrective action plan: Reminds me of the old hamster/duck tape joke.
