Nothing can undo the terrible fate of getting cork, foil, or any other form of bottle paraphernalia into that second bottle upon opening. Perhaps the only thing worse than having foil in your wine is being entrusted with opening a bottle of wine for a group of people, and getting foil into all of their wine glasses. The humiliation! It’s almost too much to bear. Suffice it to say, you never, ever want to be the person who screws up opening the wine for a group of friends.
In order to avoid such a terrible fate, it’s crucial that you have the right tools for opening your wine. Here are the only three corkscrews you’ll ever need.
