DeVine- Ah So Wine Opener for Vintage Bottles - Two-Prong Cork Puller & Corker With Sleek Case - Great Gift Idea

This wine bottle cork puller is perfect for pulling out the cork in tact. Unlike the corkscrew that sometimes breaks the cork apart, the cork comes out in one piece. It's perfect for those vintage wines when the cork may not be so perfect anymore. When following the instructions it is super easy to use. Well worth the money...I highly recommend it.

Nice product at good price. A little more difficult to use than a regular corkscrew but worth the effort for a good bottle of wine with a dry cork. Be sure the handle is all the way down to the cork for best results.

You MUST KNOW how to use the AH-SO wine puller. sellers of this item must give EXPLICTE instructions on how to use it. 1. insert the longer prong between the cork and inside edge of the bottle & push it down about 1/4 inch. 2. Insert the shorter prong between the cork and the opposite side of the bottle & push it in about 1/4 inch. 3. Only push in one prong at a time. If you push both prongs at once, the cork will pushed into he bottle. Push in the longer prong first, about 1/4 inch , stop then push the shorter prong, alternate sides until all the way in. If the cork starts to go in, stop. slowly twist the handle and pull up, until plush with the top. Alternately push in the prongs until it goes all the way in. Then reposition your hand to twist the handle and pull up. Twist and pull until the cork is out.I last used this ah-so corker to open a bottle of 1974 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

I have come to appreciate this style of cork remover for old, damaged, and very tight corks, especially where a traditional corkscrew has damaged or broken the cork. This is about the only method of effectively removing the cork in those situations. But this method also preserves an undamaged cork and allows easy re-corking of the bottle, great for keeping the wine for another day. Among those I have used, the DeVine opener is a joy to use, solid, well made, clean, attractive, catches the eye of guests, and appears to be stainless steel for long life. It is just what I was looking for and I can highly recommend it. I bought two! It doubles as a bottle opener, so whatever you and the guests drink, you are set.

This is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE for anyone with older wines (like 20 years or more)! I was breaking corks on all my old wines and ended up eating cork pieces in some pretty great wines. Now with this "waiter's friend" I can easily pull the old cork out without any damage or cork pieces falling into the wine. I wish I knew about this tool sooner!

Piece of garbage! I opened maybe 7 to 10 bottles of wine with this junk. The tongs bent and the oso became unusable. U could use a hammer and screwdriver and get more uses

Just what I was looking for.

Ordered this for opening wine that has been cellared a long time and the cork is at risk of crumbling with a regular corkscrew. It is sturdy and works really well if you know how to use it. There are YouTube tutorials for using an Ah-so and I think that would help some of the people who said they had trouble using it. Basically you carefully insert first the longer side then the shorter one, then gently rock it back and forth as you push it in. Once you’ve got it all the way in, start to twist it. When you see the cork is turning, pull as you continue twisting. When enough of the cork is out that you can grab hold of it with your fingers, grasp the cork & prongs and pull while twisting…..et voilà! The cork should come out.
