TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS FOR THE DIFFICULT CORK

Although our double hinge waiter's corkscrew is designed to significantly reduce any

cork breakage, we all know a lot of things can go wrong when trying to drink a quiet

glass of wine after work. Occasionally you will encounter corks that break, crumble or

otherwise misbehave. And this can be even more distressing when you are opening a

special bottle for important guests. So how does one negotiate through this

embarrassment and get on with the party?

Problem #1 - Part of the cork remains in the bottle's neck:

Here are a few suggestions. First is the obvious – try to gently extract the remainder by

inserting the corkscrew again but at a slight angle.

A second alternative, depending on the situation, is using a simple cork puller, which has

two prongs that slide down between the bottle and the cork. Gently move the prongs

back and forth, careful not to push the cork in further; then once you think that you are in

far enough, you pull and twist at the same time. This is the best devise we've found for

older corks.

Another handy devise is a cork popper. These gadgets involve the use of a needle that

is inserted through the entire cork then CO2 is sprayed in between the wine and the

cork. When done gently, the cork will magically rise out of the bottle.

Problem #2 - Pushing the cork in further and can't extract it:

Cover the top of the bottle with a cloth and push the cork all the way in. The cloth is for

catching wine that inevitably sprays out when the cork plunges. The best thing to do at

this point is to use a funnel and filter, then simply decant the wine into a clean container,

filtering out the cork and its particles. There are also inexpensive filters that are inserted

into the bottle like a regular cork.
