Test Driving the Durand Corkscrew for Dodgy Corks in Old Bottles
6 Apr
Opening old bottles of wine with dodgy corks can be a challenge even for the most experienced wine hound. Good hardware can make a big difference. The Durand combines the Ah-So, prong opener, with the screw of a waiter’s friend. Check out the video review below. It’s not cheap, if you have a lot of old wine under cork it’ll make your life a bit easier.
Alternatively you can go the Power Drill or Coat Hanger (end of post) method of opening your bottles.
*I have no affiliation with Durand and paid in full for the corkscrew.
