Screwpull
The Best Corkscrew in the World


I have tried a lot of corkscrews and most were not up to the job. A couple actually broke! So it was a joy to find the Screwpull, which hasn't met a cork it could not pull.

The Screwpull comes with a handy foil cutter. Place the foil cutter on top of the bottle and give it a quarter turn.
The foil comes off very neatly, exposing the cork. Now we are ready to use the Screwpull.
Place the Screwpull on top of the bottle and squeeze the handles firmly. Lift the lever which extends the worm (the screw) fully. Closing the lever forces the worm into the cork.
Lifting the lever extracts the cork from the bottle! Wasn't that easy? Removing the cork from the Screwpull is even easier. Hold the Screwpull firmly. Best to do this over the counter unless you want the cork to fall on the floor.
Lift the lever... and close the lever and the cork drops free. That's it. We're done. Now it's time to enjoy our wine!
The Screwpull is not a wine snob. It works equally well on Belgian beer. Here I have one of my favorites, a bottle of Lindemans Kriek. To quote from the label: "Lindemans Kriek is a lambic made from local barley, unmalted wheat, and wild yeast. After spontaneous fermentation, the lambic is aged in oak. Black cherries are added creating a secondary fermentation and yielding a beer of exceptional flavor and complexity." If you've never had it, treat yourself to a bottle sometime. You'll be glad you did. The Screwpull positioned on the bottle of beer. It takes longer to read this sentence than it does to remove the cork.
Open, close, and open again and the cork is out! The Screwpull is the corkscrew of the future! Time to enjoy my beer. I didn't even have to work hard for it like I would with an old fashioned corkscrew. You will notice the beautiful red color the cherries give the beer. Enjoy!
