An Elegant, Idiot-Proof Bottle Opener
Remember that time you accidentally stuffed part of a demolished cork back down into a wine bottle in an attempt to open it with a cheap or broken corkscrew.. and you had to strain your wine through a piece of cloth to get the particles out? Or the times you needed two friends to hold the bottle down on the ground while you pulled with all your might to get the cork out?
Or maybe you don’t remember those times, but you’re wondering what I’m getting at anyway?
As a Christmas present I bought one of these fabulous corkscrews off of Amazon and can’t believe we lived without one before. Whether you drink wine every day or only occasionally, you should have something like this to avoid the frustration and embarrassment of a corking problem.. you will never have one again!
You simply clamp the arms of this MIU Connoisseur Corkscrew around the neck of the bottle, pull the handle over the top, and then pull it back to the original position and the bottle is opened and ready to pour! It comes with a stand, a foil cutter which does the trick, and a replacement corkscrew, I suppose for when the first one goes dull. Some people review a product before using it, but we’ve put this baby to good use over the past 6 months, and are happy to stand behind it! At under $20, even CheapoWinos can afford it. It also makes a great gift!
PN is a tough grape to vinify and most wineries aren’t up to the task. Don’t expect a lot of complexity here, but you do get a nice nose, some varietal flavors, and and a short clean finish. Romanee Conti it ain’t, but $10 you gets you a brief peek at heaven even if it leaves you standing outside the gates”
