What are the best types of corkscrews?
There are many different types of corkscrews and devices that remove a cork from a wine bottle. Some are easier to use than others. The well known and commonly used waiter corkscrew is actually one of the harder types of corkscrews to use. It is used by most restaurants because of the low price, in case it is lost by the waiter, and it gives a more professional look as it is what is expected by the customers. They are useful when pulling a cork from a bottle of wine that is sitting in a cradle. For those that do not want to put a hole in their cork there is the cork puller opener. Ithas two metal prongs which wriggle back and forth so that the prongs move down the side of the cork. When you hit bottom of the cork the tension lets you pull the cork back up. They have a great “cool” factor but are not very effective. Another great corkscrew is the lever pull type. There are many lever pull corkscrews available and some can even be bolted to a wall or the countertop. What works best? Any
