Ok, it's time to admit something: I save corkscrews. Maybe because I never throw anything away, but I like to keep them. I've also found that they make a great memento of great wine.
Unfortunately, even a good, regular corkscrew can destroy a cork. And a destroyed cork is annoying. First, I can't keep it. Second, I have to filter the dirty cork-bits out of the wine. Too much effort, and a loss.
So, I recently bought a Screwpull -- and what a difference! It has a smooth, easy operation that removes the cork and efficiently takes it off the screw. Plus, the corks have minimal bloating from being removed, and I have not had a single one break (not even on some fairly old wine). Further proof that wine can be expensive....
