How to open a bottle of old wine with a fragile cork?

Time:2022-04-24 Views:



On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, it is wonderful to share long-cherished wines with friends and family. There are some old vintage wines among these wines. These wines have precipitated their unique flavors over time. However, as the wine ages, the corks of the wines will gradually lose their toughness and become brittle. If an ordinary corkscrew is used, it is easy to break the cork and produce wood chips, thereby contaminating the wine, but using the Ah-So corkscrew can effectively avoid this problem, so the Ah-So corkscrew is also known as "old wine" bottle opener". So, how to use the old wine corkscrew?

(1) Slowly insert the longer iron piece of the Ah-So bottle opener into a short section along the gap between the bottle cork and the bottle mouth, and then insert the shorter iron piece into the gap on the other side;

(2) Take turns to exert force on both sides, so that the two iron pieces are gradually deepened until the entire cork is clamped;


(3) Hold the handle, slowly rotate counterclockwise and apply upward force to gradually pull out the cork.

When opening the bottle of wine sealed with cork, sometimes the cork breaks. How should we deal with this situation? Usually, we only need to slowly screw the spiral cone of the seahorse knife into the cork again (be careful not to penetrate the cork), and then carefully pull the cork out of the bottle.
