two part device to successfully remove older and fragile wine corks whole and intact.

Ingenious!!! I’ve pulled some old corks (‘86 Pichon LaLande) , and some that looked fragile. Fantastic results! Worth every penny in results and lack of frustration. You still need some skill and patience to slide old corks out intact… but it’s at least doable!

Works perfectly

This is the ultimate tool for wine cork removal. Beautifully engineered and elegant. It is indispensable and virtually guaranteed to work when dealing with older bottles that may have brittle corks. Take a bit of practice to learn how to use it but, once you've mastered the technique, it is actually easy.

Requires a little bit of practice, but it’s a godsend and works as promised. I have used it to successfully remove corks that are 20+ years old and falling apart.

Love this corkscrew. It allows me to open my old wines while avoiding the hassle of broken corks. It’s a must for anyone who drinks old wines.

The Durand is my go-to opener when I’ve got older bottles to open. It keeps the cork intact, is easy to use, and it works perfectly every time.

Nice to have both cork screwy and ah so options nicely engineered together, a bit expensive

This is not cheap, but if you are opening old bottles of expensive wines and you are afraid that the cork might break, you need this. Just be careful when you are trying to fit the Ah-So between the cork and bottle. The blade points are quite sharp and if your hand is in the way and it slips out, you could get stabbed. That said, absolutely love this thing.
