The Screwpull comes with a handy foil
cutter. |
Place the foil cutter on top of the
bottle and give it a quarter turn. |
|
|
The foil comes off very neatly, exposing
the cork. |
Now we are ready to use the Screwpull. |
|
|
Place the Screwpull on top of the bottle
and squeeze the handles firmly. Lift the lever which extends the worm (the
screw) fully. |
Closing the lever forces the worm into
the cork. |
|
|
Lifting the lever extracts the cork from
the bottle! Wasn't that easy? |
Removing the cork from the Screwpull is
even easier. Hold the Screwpull firmly. Best to do this over the counter
unless you want the cork to fall on the floor. |
|
|
Lift the lever... |
and close the lever and the cork drops
free. That's it. We're done. Now it's time to enjoy our wine! |

The Screwpull is not a wine snob. It
works equally well on Belgian beer. Here I have one of my favorites, a
bottle of Lindemans Kriek. To quote from the label: "Lindemans Kriek is a
lambic made from local barley, unmalted wheat, and wild yeast. After
spontaneous fermentation, the lambic is aged in oak. Black cherries are
added creating a secondary fermentation and yielding a beer of exceptional
flavor and complexity." If you've never had it, treat yourself to a bottle
sometime. You'll be glad you did. |
The Screwpull positioned on the bottle of
beer. It takes longer to read this sentence than it does to remove the cork. |
|
|
Open, close, and open again and the cork
is out! The Screwpull is the corkscrew of the future! |
Time to enjoy my beer. I didn't even have
to work hard for it like I would with an old fashioned corkscrew. You will notice the beautiful red color the cherries
give the beer. Enjoy! |
