Ensured compatibility between Wikeeps cartridges and the Coravin system®
Buy our cartridges in the UK and the US Buy our cartridges in the UK and the US1 – Identical capsules
Coravin compatible Wikeeps cartridges use 21ml gas canisters. This is an industry standard also used by its sister company Winaro. Coravin cartridges are only special because of a plastic adapter that is screwed onto the cartridge.
In this way, wikeeps Coravin cartridge compatibility is achieved.
2 – A simple adaptation.
Take a black adapter from a Coravin capsule and screw it onto the Wikeeps cartridge before each use.
3 – An even better gas
The gas contained in Coravin cartridges is Argon, a natural neutral and inert gas.
Wikeeps®, the French patent for wine service and preservation, uses this same gas to preserve its bottles.
The difference is that Wikeeps® has developed a unique formula of 80% Argon and 20% CO2 supplied by its partner Linde, world leader in oenological gases.
This gas is reported to be less astringent for your wine than 100% Argon or 100% Nitrogen and brings a freshness on the dissolved CO2 naturally present in the wine.
Used in the vats of the greatest châteaux, the gases contained in the Wikeeps® cartridges will ensure the quality of preservation required by the finest bottles.
How it works: 2 simple steps to adapt your cartridges
Take your old capsule
1 – Unscrew the adpater

Your questions about cartridges
Are Wikeeps cartridges compatible with Coravin?
The compatibility of Wikeeps Coravin system cartridges is possible thanks to these 2 parameters: the same cartridge format and the same thread. However, Coravin uses a plastic end cap as a sealing system that you must retrieve from the original cartridge. Once this black adapter has been recovered and screwed onto the Wikeeps cartridge, the operation is identical.
How many bottles can I tap with one gas cartridge?
The number of 0.75cl bottles can vary between 3 and 5 depending on the use. The harder you pull the trigger of the gun, the faster you serve but also consume gas.
The average consumption is one cartridge for 3 bottles. This allows you to serve at least 18 standard sized glasses!

How do we know that a gas canister is empty?
If pressure on the pistol grip no longer pushes wine into your glass, the cartridge is empty. Without altering your wine, a cartridge can be replaced without risk when a bottle is not completely finished. If the pistol is detached from the central cupola, it is enough to operate a pressure on the handle and to hear or not a hissing to see if there is still gas.
Before throwing away a cartridge, it is recommended to completely empty it by pressing the handle before removing it from the tank, this is without danger. The gases come from the atmosphere, so there are no ecological and health risks.
What should I do to change cartridges between two bottles, or to change bottles while keeping the same cartridge?
Before changing the cartridge, check that the current cartridge is empty, ensuring that the wine no longer rises in the glass. If this is not the case, empty it using the gun, according to the above procedure. It is no problem to switch from one bottle to another with the same cartridge.
What do we do with empty cartridges after use?
The steel cartridges are recyclable in selective sorting with household metals such as tin cans.
What is the lifespan of a cartridge?
If the cartridge is impacted, it is advisable to use it within six months. If the cartridge is not impacted, you must refer to the expiry date indicated on the box.
