The corkscrew is a relatively young invention. Wine began to be bottled around the 17th century, but the corks of that time rose above the neck, so there was no need for special devices for uncorking. In the 18th century, the corks stopped “protruding”, that is, their upper edge became equal to the neck. The time has come for His Majesty the Corkscrew.
Let's look at what types of corkscrews are the most popular and easiest to use, and most importantly, where you can buy them!
1. “Butterfly” / “Ballerina” / corkscrew with wings
In this device, the spiral is placed inside a mechanism with a handle at the top and “wing” levers on the sides. To open the bottle, you need to screw the spiral into the cork using the handle. The “wings” will gradually “fly” upward. When the spiral enters the lid, the levers must be slowly lowered down and the cork will come out.
2. Sommelier knife / narzannik / waiter’s corkscrew
A professional accessory used by waiters and sommeliers. The device allows you to effectively and cleanly remove the cork from the bottle. Looks like a pocket knife. Consists of a handle, a screw, a blade for cutting the capsule on the bottle and a lever (one- or two-stage elbow).
Affordable, simple and easy to use.
3. Screwpull corkscrew
The corkscrew was invented by Herbert Allen in 1979 and called it the Screwpull. The main goal pursued by the inventor was to come up with a device that would remove the cork from a bottle without excessive effort and would be safe.
This is one of the most elegant ways to uncork a bottle and surprise your guests. With one hand you grab the neck of the bottle with tongs, with the other you move the corkscrew handle from the lower position to the upper one, thus screwing in a thin, flexible screw rod. Then the handle simply folds back and the cork comes out of the bottle almost effortlessly. To uncork a bottle using such a tool, you do not need any special skills or physical strength.
