In my career as a sommelier, the Durand corkscrew is the most useful tool I have found for dealing with old wine bottles.
With "The Durand" you can safely remove old, fragile corks.
The Durand® is a patented two-part wine tool that allows older and fragile wine corks to be removed completely and intact.
It was invented by wine collector Mark Taylor, who struggled with challenging corks when opening older, fine wines. He founded Wining Taylors, LLC (based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA) to produce and market The Durand in 2007. The Durand is named after Yves Durand, a world-renowned sommelier and a personal friend and mentor.
