Fashion Animals Corkscrew
We like waiter’s-style corkscrews that come with a “double-jointed arm for good leverage.” This one also has a thin worm, or wire.

Despite this tool’s “somewhat flimsy plastic construction,” many wine lovers appreciate the way its long spiral gently draws a cork.

Peugeot Mathus Blade-Style Corkscrew
Since brittle corks are prevalent in older bottles, a blade-style pull can be a true oenophile’s “best friend.” It’s the “perfect solution” for salvaging a broken cork.
