What materials are Coravin Timeless Needles made of?
Non-stick coated stainless steel.
Why are the Timeless Eleven needles so much more expensive than the original needles?
The Timeless Eleven Needle is specially crafted with 2 chambers to allow for the automatic pour. It requires a high level of craftsmanship that does increase the overall cost. We include the Spout at no additional cost to ensure your wine path is completely new when replacing the Needle.
Changing & Cleaning
How do I know when to replace my Needle?
Please check the bottom of your Needle – where it inserts into the cork. It is time to replace the Needle when the non-stick coating begins to wear off and the Needle starts to appear silver in color.

Storage
How should I store my extra Needles?
When not in use, the best way to store extra Needles is in the packaging they came in. If you purchased an extra single Needle, store it in the clear tube it came in. If you purchased the Needle Kit, keep it in the box. If you have the Coravin Pedestal Base, you can store Needles for all Coravin models except the Model Eleven in the drawer of that base. Taking care of your extra Needles will keep them in the best shape, ready to be used to access wine.
