The screw corkscrew is a kind of corkscrew commonly used in China, and it is also one of the traditional corkscrews. Its structure is simple, with a screw cone. When opening the cork, you only need to screw the screw cone into the cork, and then pull the cork out by pulling the handle. It is easy to operate and inexpensive, but it is laborious.
2. Butterfly corkscrew
The butterfly-shaped bottle opener uses the lever principle of physics to design a shape with two arms, which looks like a butterfly flapping its wings and dancing. You only need to screw the screw cone into the cork and pull the handles on both sides to lift it up. After raising it to the end, press down your arms and you can take out the cork.
This kind of bottle opener is small, cheap, beautiful and easy to use. However, it is not suitable for opening old wine, because the cork of these wines may be relatively fragile, and the old cork is easy to break when the cork is taken out with a butterfly corkscrew. Another problem is that a bottle opener with a poor material is easy to loosen or become loose, resulting in a limited distance for the cork to lift up, and it is difficult to take the cork out at once.
3. Seahorse knife corkscrew
For people who drink often, this is undoubtedly the best corkscrew. Its shape and design look like a seahorse, which makes the cold metal and plastic tools look a little more moving. Since the Spanish invented it, there have been many chasers, but there is still no corkscrew that can match it, so the seahorse corkscrew is also known as the "king of corkscrews." At the same time, because of its beauty, lightness, practicality and effortlessness, the seahorse corkscrew is a corkscrew carried by sommeliers, so it also has the title of "friend of the waiter".
It uses high-quality stainless steel and medium carbon steel materials, and consists of 4 main parts: handle, wine wire (spiral cone), paper cutter and two card positions. When opening the wine bottle with a seahorse knife, first use a small serrated knife to cut the bottle seal around the bottle mouth, then screw the tip of the spiral cone into the center of the cork, then stand the spiral cone upright, and slowly rotate clockwise to drill into the cork. Finally, the bottle mouth is jammed, and the bottle stopper is pulled up using the principle of leverage with the first and second card positions as the fulcrum.
Compared with the butterfly corkscrew, the seahorse corkscrew has the advantage that it has a two-level card position. When the cork cannot be completely removed for the first time, the second-level card position is used to stop the remaining part of the cork. Pull up completely.
Of course, there are various other corkscrews on the market, such as T-shaped corkscrews, etc. You can choose one of them according to your needs and hobbies.
