What is device that lets you drain wine from bottle without uncorking?

I saw this in action back in March but forget the name. It is perfect for those that want to drink some wine but can't or don't want to drink an entire bottle. It is a needle that you push through the cork. The remaining wine in the bottle is not affected.
Anyone know what it is called?

The Coravin is the only such device I know of.

Does this work with synthetic corks too?

From the FAQs on the website I posted:
quote:
Bottles closed with natural cork are best, because they will reseal after accessing with the Coravin System. Please keep in mind that a colder cork will take longer to reseal.
While a synthetic cork closure will not damage your Coravin Needle, the closure will not reseal, and thus permit oxidation after some time. If you access a bottle with a synthetic closure, store it upright to ensure that it does not leak.
Screw caps or glass closures are not suitable for use with the Coravin System, as they will cause permanent damage to the Coravin Needle.

Just buy a half bottle, drink and retain the bottle for later use. Next time you uncork a bottle and don't drink it all just pour into the reserved half bottle and cork. It won't oxidize.
Or get a vacuvin.

I rarely find myself with left over wine in a bottle to be honest.

quote:Eh, I haven't tried it, but I'm not sure I would. It's predicated on the cork resealing itself when you withdraw the needle, which natural cork does nicely. I'm not sure that A) the needle could get through synthetic corks, and B)if it did, the cork would reseal. I've had one for a year or so. It's very nice when I just want a glass or two of a nice wine but don't want to open a bottle. But like others here, if I'm opening a nice bottle and I have enough time, I'll usually just kill it. The best application would be for drinking a glass or two of an old bottle, but this is problematic as the gas jetted into the bottle tends to stir up sediment, which kind of screws up that plan.
