From F5:
I am a sucker for wine gadgets. In my kitchen there
exists a plethora of corkscrews and openers, foil cutters, aerators, wine
charms and bottle accessories. Some are very useful while others were simply a
waste of money, but fun just the same. The one item that gets the most use and
is essential is the opener. Yes, a simple corkscrew would do, but there are so
many other choices. Let's investigate the different types of wine bottle
openers.
First, there is the standard metal winged
corkscrew. It's not fancy, not expensive and always does the job.
Second in line is probably the pronged cork puller.
This gadget has two flat metal prongs with one being a bit longer than the
other. The prongs are inserted between the bottle and outer edge of the cork,
then one proceeds to rock back and forth or twist the puller to remove the
cork. Don't bother. These are hard to use and rarely work well.
