The Butterfly Wine Opener derives its name from its resemblance to the spread wings of a butterfly, Also called Lever Corkscrew, Wing Corkscrew, or winged corkscrew. While many people choose this bottle opener for its simplicity, it actually requires attention to detail and skill to avoid damaging the cork.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use the Butterfly Wine Opener effectively:
1. Position the open end of the butterfly bottle opener against the mouth of the bottle. With your left hand, hold both the open end and the bottle securely. With your right hand, rotate the spiral until it is fully inserted.
2. Once the opener is inserted, it will resemble the spread wings of a butterfly.
3. Push the wings of the butterfly down towards the bottom. It’s important to note that you should not attempt to lift the cork at this stage. The cork may be longer than the cork-screw part of the butterfly bottle opener. If you forcefully pull up the cork, you risk damaging both the cork and the bottle opening. Instead, repeat steps 1 and 2 once more.
4. When it’s time to remove the cork, hold the bottle with your left hand while gripping the entire bottle opener and cork with your right hand. Gently shake and pull the cork out.
By following these steps, you can effectively and safely use the Butterfly Bottle Opener to open your favorite bottles of wine. Remember to exercise caution and use gentle motions to ensure a successful and enjoyable opening experience.
