- IEnjoyAFineBooze - 03-10-2005 I jsut broke my wing corkscrew and a hand corkscrew on a bottle Bolla pinot grigio. DId i do something wrong? i was cranking the first one in and it broke. i thought it was faulty. So i remved the screw and got the other one. It broke also. I used a hammer to attempt to ull the cork out by gripping the screw with the hammer teeth. This caused the screw to break again. So i ahve a bottel of wine with a broken screw in the cork. Any suggestions? [This message has been edited by IEnjoyAFineBooze (edited 03-10-2005).] - Kcwhippet - 03-11-2005 Hammers have teeth? Get an Ah-So type opener. It has two prongs that go down either side of the cork, not through it. I have several, one about 25 years old. They can't break. - Drew - 03-11-2005 That's what you get for drinking Bolla....

WW - wineguruchgo - 03-12-2005 I think Drew needs a time out! I agree with KCW - get an ah-so. They are pretty good. - Innkeeper - 03-14-2005 Have never been able to handle an Ah-so. Have and have recently seen for sale (around $20) a massive waiters pal with a half inch claw, and an oversized worm. It opens all troublesome closures. |
