instantly refresh wine
In just three years, RAVI Solutions, an SME on the South Shore of Montréal, has performed a tour de force by breaking onto the international market with its invention. It’s clear that Ravi, an instant wine chiller, has got what it takes… to ravish wine lovers! Created by Jean-François Jodoin and Martin Tétreault, Ravi is an ergonomic and compact device. It slides onto the neck of a wine bottle; the cooling process takes place as your wine passes through Ravi and into the glass. Users can also adjust the desired wine temperature with the help of a valve that controls the rate of flow. This elegant solution is therefore quicker and more efficient than using a refrigerator or an ice bucket. Made from the same stainless steel used for fermentation tanks, Ravi maintains the wine’s characteristics without altering the taste. Ravi quickly won praise from wine specialists. Today, the device is very popular among wine lovers—it is sold in over 1,500 retailers in America, Asia, and Europe—, and its success continues unabated. Building on this first triumph, the company has launched two new products: a modular decanter, and a cooling bag that chills your wine when you are on the go, with no need to add water or ice.
