Why the Best Wine Bottles Don’t Need Opening

What do chemotherapy needles, Michelin-starred restaurants and a bottle of Bordeaux have in common?

More than you’d think.

This week AJ Sharp meets Greg Lambrecht, the inventor of Coravin—the revolutionary device that’s transformed the way the world drinks wine. Used in restaurants across the globe, Coravin allows you to pour a glass of wine without ever pulling the cork, meaning rare and expensive bottles can be enjoyed one glass at a time.

But Greg isn’t from the wine trade at all. He’s a physicist, medical inventor and entrepreneur who accidentally changed the hospitality industry while trying to solve his own problem: wanting just one great glass of wine without wasting the rest of the bottle.

Whether you’re a wine enthusiast or simply love hearing how brilliant ideas are born, this is a conversation about curiosity, invention and making life’s little pleasures even better.
