November 27, 2009, Newsletter Issue #101: Opening A Winebottle

Tip of the Week


As long as I have a good wine opener, to open a wine bottle is a simple procedure.
If there is foil around the bottle neck and I do not know the length of the cork used, I remove the foil. Once I know the length of the cork I insert my Italian made five turn full size waiter´s corkscrew, which I call a waiter´s knife, into the middle of the cork. I slowly insert the point and screw the worm into the cork. I go the full length of the cork without drilling through it. And slowly I raise the cork from the bottle neck.
