When should I replace a worn needle?
If you notice it becoming difficult to insert or remove the needle into the cork, the coating on the needle may be worn. Inspect the tip to look for wear or damage. If the special coating has worn off, leaving a silver color rather than black, you may need a new needle.

I'm trying to pour but nothing is coming out. What do I do?
There are several items to check if you are having trouble pouring wine. Remove the Coravin System from the bottle and give the trigger a quick press. If you hear gas escaping, then you have gas and the needle is clear - the problem is likely that the Coravin System was not fully seated on the bottle and the needle had not penetrated completely through the cork. If you do NOT hear gas escaping after a quick press of the trigger, you may simply be out of gas or your needle may be clogged with some cork particles. To check for a clogged needle, unscrew the needle from the Coravin System and then try a quick press of the trigger again. If you hear gas flow, then it is likely that your needle is clogged by some small cork particles. If you do NOT hear Gas with the needle removed, then you are likely out of gas and need a new Coravin Capsule.
How do I unclog my needle?
If you have determined that you your needle is clogged with cork particles, use the Needle Clearing Tool included with your Coravin System to unclog it. Hold the Needle Clearing Tool by the handle and gently poke the tool through the eye of the needle to remove any cork particles. Always hold the needle by the needle grip. Insert the clearing tool into the top of the needle by the needle grip, and slide down to push any excess cork towards the eye of the needle. Poke the tool through the eye to the needle again to remove any last cork particles. Repeat until no cork is visible. Please click here to watch our instructional video on unclogging a needle.
