Where corks break
Almost always the same way: the screw is driven in too far, breaks through the bottom of the cork, and then has nothing to pull against. The cork crumbles and half of it stays in the neck. The collar at the base of this corkscrew stops the helix at the right depth, so it holds the cork rather than drilling through it.
Pressing instead of pulling
A winged corkscrew turns the hard part into a push. You brace on the lip of the bottle, both arms come down, and the cork rises. Nobody is hauling upwards on a bottle held between their knees. It is the opener you can hand to anyone at the table.
The knob is two inches across for a reason
Getting the screw started is the part that defeats weak hands. A wide knob turns with the fingers and gives leverage from the start, so a tight cork does not need a strong grip.
PRO or LUX
This is the PRO version — the everyday line. Our LUX Wine Opener is all-metal through the body, arms and rivets, with a matte silver finish and a velvet pouch, and gives better for a present. Both carry the same lifetime warranty.
Not the right tool if…
You open old bottles where the cork has gone soft. Any helix tears through those — that is what two-prong openers are for.
Registered, it carries our lifetime warranty. Two minutes, and it’s ours to replace.
