Must have Wine Tech by SybariteCoravin

By inserting a very thin needle into the cork and pressurising the bottle with argon, the Coravin allows you to extract a sample and then reseal the bottle as if it had never been touched. No oxygen can get to the wine, allowing it to continue ageing undisturbed. Expensive wines can be now be enjoyed slightly more frivolously, as you no longer have to commit to opening the entire bottle when you want just one glass.

Starts at £199.00 from harrods.com
