Up your corkscrew game

Does a corkscrew make any difference to your wine experience. Of course it does. Half cocked, half ope, cork in the bottle is NOT a good look for the cool 4Der!

Here are examples of corkscrews at different price points:

1. Cheap Corkscrew:

- Waiter's Corkscrew: This is a classic and affordable option that is widely used. It typically features a foldable design with a small knife for cutting the foil and a screw for extracting the cork. The handle is often made of plastic or stainless steel. A popular inexpensive brand is the HiCoup Waiter's Corkscrew.

2. Mid-Range Corkscrew:

- Winged Corkscrew: Also known as a butterfly corkscrew, this style has two levers that rise as the screw is twisted into the cork. As you push the levers down, the cork is lifted out. It provides good leverage and is relatively easy to use. We like the Zwilling option here - built to last unlike some “cheap” options

3. High-End Corkscrew:

4D recommends

- Lever-Style Corkscrew: These corkscrews are known for their elegant design and efficient operation. They typically employ a two-step lever system that effortlessly extracts the cork with minimal effort. The Rabbit Vertical Lever Corkscrew is a well-regarded high-end option that provides smooth and swift cork removal.

It's worth noting that prices may vary based on brand, design, and additional features. When choosing a corkscrew, consider factors like ease of use, durability, and personal preferences to find the best fit for your needs and budget.

Oh, and be careful out there, we don’t want Claret in our claret do we!
