9 special wine openers you should know

I have to say, for a wine lover, this corkscrew is the best choice.

Unlike traditional T-shaped corkscrews, the seahorse corkscrew is simple, but it contains several important components, including:

T-Style Corkscrew

The T-Style corkscrew is the oldest bottle opener with a very simple structure. It only has a corkscrew and a handle.

You need to find a knife first to cut the foil, then align the corkscrew with the center of the cork and rotate it downwards, at last, pull the cork out, and it is actually very laborious to pull it out.

The plastic bottle opener is the most common bottle opener in the market, and its principle and method of use are similar to the T-shaped bottle opener.
Butterfly Corkscrew
This is a common but a must-have bottle opener at home. The butterfly corkscrew has two handles with gears. When opening the bottle, screw the corkscrew in, and then press down the raised handles on both sides, and the wine cork can be easily pulled out by using the lever theorem. This type of corkscrew is very popular, but it is easy to pierce the wine cork when screwing in the corkscrew, so it needs special attention.
Stainless Steel butterfly wine corkscrew

This kind of bottle opener has a pair of rabbit-like ears that can clamp the bottleneck. When using it, you only need to press down the pressure lever and then pull it back to complete the bottle opening. It saves time and effort but is slightly larger.

This kind of bottle opener has a needle, which can pierce the wine cork and fill with gas, so that the pressure in the bottle increases and the wine cork be slowly pushed out.
Electric Wine Bottle Opener

For the elderly or wine lovers with weak joints, this corkscrew is a fanstic choice. When using the electric wine bottle opener, the wine cork can be taken out with just one button, which is very time-saving and convenient.

Desktop Bottle Opener

Desktop corkscrews, or the mounted Corkscrews, are bulky and expensive, and generally only appear in high-end restaurants or mansions of hardcore gamers. Their shapes are easy to produce visual appeal and can help users attract more guests.

The cork of the old wine is relatively fragile and cannot withstand the “courtesy” of the corkscrew, so it is suitable to use the Ah-So corkscrew. When in use, insert the two iron pieces into the gap between the wine cork and the wine bottle, and pull out the wine cork while rotating.
