Coravin, the wine lover's dream device that lets you pour wine without uncorking, is back with brand new models.

As fans of the smart wine preservation system, we have observed Coravin for some time and seen the brand expand with new technology every year. Now, they have extended their product lineup with the launch of new systems -- Models Three and Six. What's more, all new and existing models have been equipped with SmartClamps™, which, prior to the launch, was only available on Model Eleven. The new easy-on and easy-off clamps are designed to go over the neck of the bottle and push down firmly on the handle in one fluid motion, making the system even easier to use.

Coravin's wine access technology is all down to the hollow needle that is inserted through the cork, before the system pressurises the bottle with Argon (an inert, colourless and odourless) gas, to pour the wine out. Once poured, and the Coravin is taken off the bottle, the cork reseals naturally -- allowing wine to stay fresh for months on end, and years if needed.

The new systems also comes with a Coravin Screw Cap which allows users to enjoy new world wine (with screw caps) the same way as old world wine (cork) bottles, preserving them for up to three months.

So, with four Coravin Models in total, Model Three, Five, Six and Eleven, which model is the right one for you? Well, let's find out shall we.

When it comes to luxury, you can rest assured that Prestige has it covered. But with the sheer multitude, let alone variety, released regularly on the landscape, it can become rather difficult to figure out the best from the rest or to even pick up the newest and most exciting. As luck would have it, our editors are forever on the look out: discovering on-the-rise labels, picking up new products from cult brands and the finding the most desirable items there are. So for those that are curious what that might be, keep scrolling to discover what made the cut in our weekly Most Coveted list.

Sotheby's has sold one of the world's oldest cognacs preserved since the end of 19th Century for a record breaking amount in an online auction.

The bottle of Gautier Cognac 1762 went under the hammer for approximately HK$1,132,789 (£118,580), which set a new auction record following the online sale. Sotheby’s said in a statement that "only three bottles of this exceedingly rare Cognac remain to this day, having been held in the same family for generations with their original labels attached".

Known as Grand Frère (Big Brother in French) of the spirit trio, the extremely rare cognac was bought by an Asian private collector who will also receive a bespoke distillery experience at Maison Gautier, an element included in the price. Sotheby's spirits specialist Jonny Fowle told The Times newspaper in London that the cognac "should still be drinkable". He added that "High-ABV (alcohol by volume) liquids like this preserve themselves very well, although I would expect there to be discernible OBE -- this stands for old bottle effect, which is how we describe the development of spirits over time... Sometimes this can impart very pleasant tropical notes, and at other times less appealing porridgy notes."

The sellers of the cognac, who wish to remain anonymous, revealed that the bottle had been given to their great grandparents by an orphan they fostered called Alphonse. He had left his adopted family in the 1870s to work in the Cognac region, and returned to them a decade later with a cart full of bottles of Cognac. According to Sotheby's, most of the bottles were soiled, but amongst them were the three Maison Gautier Cognacs with labels that were in pristine condition. Thereafter, it was noted that Alphonse fought in World War I in 1914, but sadly, never returned.

Meanwhile, the cognac's siblings are elsewhere: the little sister is housed in the museum of the French cognac distillery Maison Gautier, and the little brother was sold at auction in New York in 2014.
