For older wines, use an Ah-So corkscrew to prevent aged corks from breaking during the opening process, allowing wood chips to fall into the bottle and contaminate the wine. The construction of the Ah-So bottle opener is very simple, consisting of two iron pieces, one long and one short, and a handle.

When opening a bottle of old vintage:


-Remove the bottle seal first and wipe the bottle mouth clean. If the cork sticks to the mouth of the bottle, run a piece of the Ah-So corkscrew along the edge of the cork first.


-Insert the long iron piece of the Ah-So bottle opener slowly into a small section along the gap between the cork and the bottle mouth, and then insert the shorter iron piece into the gap on the other side opposite to the long iron piece.


- Take turns to exert force on both sides, let the two iron pieces gradually deepen until the entire cork is clamped, then hold the handle, rotate the corkscrew counterclockwise and slowly exert upward force to gradually pull out the cork.


- After opening the bottle, it is recommended to immediately change the bottle to the prepared decanter to remove the sediment produced during the aging process of the wine and the wood chips that may fall into the wine during the opening process, thereby reducing their impact on the quality of the wine. impact of experience.
