As the calendar turns and we look toward new beginnings, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how we can enhance our lives in meaningful ways. For wine lovers, the new year offers an opportunity to deepen our appreciation, expand our palates, and make every pour memorable.
So, with that in mind, we had the lovely idea of setting "wine resolutions" for the new year. Resolutions that combine our favorite topic "wine" with mindful consumption, forging connections and above all enjoying wine to the fullest!

#1: Keep the Sparkle Fresh and the Bubbles Alive
Leave the silver spoon behind in 2024!
It's time for you to enter a new fizzy era where the Champagne stays crisp for up to a month, and the bubbles rise as if it were the first glass.
Nothing says celebration like the pop of a Champagne cork or the lively fizz of sparkling wine in your glass. But how often do we hesitate to open that bottle, fearing the rest will go flat before we can enjoy it all?
Enter the Coravin Sparkling wine by-the-glass system, a pioneering solution for sparkling wine lovers. This innovative tool keeps your sparkling wine fresh and fizzy for up to four weeks, ensuring you never have to waste a single bubble.
Whether it’s a toast to a promotion, a quiet evening, or brunch mimosas with friends in 2025, this wine by-the-glass system lets you savor every glass as if it were freshly opened.
#2: Embrace Sparkling Wine for Ordinary Moments
For too long, sparkling wine has been reserved for grand celebrations.
It's time to stop living by the "good things come to those who wait" mantra and take matters of sparkling into your own hands – or glass per say.
This year, break free from tradition and embrace the joy of bubbles in your everyday life. A crisp Prosecco or a refreshing Cava pairs beautifully with casual meals or even Netflix nights.
Try experimenting with sparkling wine cocktails—like a classic Bellini or a vibrant Aperol Spritz—for a touch of pizazz. You’ll find that incorporating sparkling wines into more relaxed settings adds a sense of occasion to even the simplest moments. After all, life is too short to save Champagne for once-a-year celebrations.
#3: Explore More Wines With the Ones You Love in 2025
Wine has a magical way of bringing people together, so why not make it the centerpiece of your social life?
Hosting regular wine nights or themed tastings with friends and family is a delightful and mindful way to share and explore new wines.
Start with a theme—perhaps wines from a specific region or varietal—and encourage guests to bring a bottle to contribute. Add a twist by pairing the wines with homemade dishes or cheeses. Not only will you deepen your wine knowledge, but you’ll also create cherished memories with loved ones.
These gatherings don’t need to be extravagant; sometimes, all it takes is good wine, good company, and a shared sense of discovery. And, don't forget, with Coravin Timeless wine by-the-glass system you and your loved ones can enjoy all that good wine without ever pulling the cork!
Simply pour a glass with Coravin and keep the rest perfectly preserved for another week, month or even year later.
#4: Build and Organize Your Wine Collection
For those with a passion for collecting, this resolution is both practical and rewarding. Begin by identifying wines you’d like to age—whether it’s a Bordeaux that will reach its peak in 10 years or a vintage Champagne perfect for a future celebration. Building a collection of age-worthy wines transforms your cellar (or wine fridge) into a personal treasure trove.
Equally important is organizing your storage to ensure each bottle is preserved under optimal conditions. Store wines on their sides, in a cool, dark place, and invest in tools like Coravin’s Timeless wine by-the-glass system to sample wines over time without pulling the cork. This lets you monitor their evolution while keeping your collection intact for special moments.
#5: Focus on Quality Over Quantity
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to prioritize convenience over quality, but wine is best enjoyed slowly and deliberately. Make 2025 the year you savor every glass. Instead of grabbing multiple bottles for casual consumption, opt for fewer but higher-quality selections that truly excite you.
With Coravin wine by-the-glass systems, you can open premium bottles anytime without the pressure to finish them in one sitting. Savor a glass of your favorite vintage Cabernet today and revisit it weeks later, knowing it will taste just as vibrant. This resolution isn’t just about drinking better wine; it’s about cultivating a mindful approach to every sip.
#6: Keep a Wine Journal
One of the simplest yet most impactful resolutions for any wine lover is to start a wine journal. Recording your experiences with different bottles helps refine your palate and track your preferences over time. Note the varietal, producer, vintage, and region, as well as the aromas, flavors, and pairings you enjoyed.
A journal is also a fantastic way to document your journey as you explore new regions or experiment with unique varietals. Over time, you’ll build a personalized roadmap to your wine tastes, making future selections even more enjoyable and tailored to your evolving preferences.
