Wine Opener – Wine Key
A wine opener is a device used to effectively dislodge a cork from a wine bottle. A wine opener includes a cork screw that lodges inside of the cork and a lever which you use to pull the cork out of the bottle. It is a good idea to use a wine opener when trying to enjoy a bottle of wine because it makes it faster and prevents cork pieces from getting into the bottle. If you use the wine opener incorrectly, you might have a hard time even opening the bottle. The cork is air sealed into the bottle in order to:
- Prevent leakage
- Allow the wine to mature
- Preserve the freshness
Because the cork does have a specific purpose, it does not come out of the bottle easily and you should use a wine opener to dislodge it. Wine openers are used at events to make the process of serving wine more efficient. There are many types of wine openers from the very basic, that requires you to use your arm strength to pull the cork out to electric openers that require you to do nothing. Professionals within the event planning industry might prefer to use the electric wine openers or at least one requires little manual strength so that they can move quickly during an event. After a bottle of wine is opened the cork expands a bit and might be tough to push back into the wine bottle. In this case, you should use a bottle stopper to seal the bottle when not in use to lower the risk of a spill.
