Wine Opener

Wine opener will be generally considered as an essential rather than an optional wine accessory ... due to the fact that not many wine drinkers will push the cork into the bottle rather than removing it. This is certainly not recommended. In addition, there are some wine lover who doesn't regard wine open as essential because the are drinkers of the "Screw-capped" wine, "Canned wine" as well as "Wine-in-box". Well... these are the convenient wine packaging of some modern wine makers.

Removing of the cork with certain wine openers really require some practice but not necessary for most of latest designs.

Wine Opener - Corkscrew

Wine Opener like the Corkscrew has one of the simplest wine opener design. It does not require a lot skill using the corkscrew as it is generally quite simple to use. After removing the foil, simply screw the corkscrew into the cork and make sure that it has screwed through the cork before pulling. Pulling the cork before proper insertion of the corkscrew will lead to damaged or broken cork.

Wine Opener - Pronged Corkpuller

Wine opener like the Pronged Corkpuller is a real test of wine opening skill. This device is designed in Germany. This is also not very commonly used today as inexperienced user will likely results in pushing the cork into the bottle instead of removing it. This design is not recommended due to requirement of good wine opening skill... it is not for everyone.

Wine Opener - Twin-lever Corkscrew

This wine open is a great break through in wine opener design. In fact, this design is even patented. This lever can be made from plastics, woods and metals depending on the manufacturers. This is the easiest to use comparing to the pronged corkpuller and the corkscrew. All you have to do is...

Place the opener above the cork.
Turn the top handle to insert the screw and the twin levers will automatically raise
Turn the 2 levers towards the bottle and the cork is pulled out of the bottle.

Wine Opener - "Easy Pull" Single Lever Corkscrew

This wine opener is an improvised version of the twin-lever corkscrew. Beside the difference in the appearance, easy to use and reduced effort needed to open the bottle certainly give an edge over the twin-lever corkscrew. However, this is the most costly design among all. A pretty cool wine opener especially on important occasions. A touch of elegance to the wine opening process.
