Wine Glass Info

Enjoy your best wines with family and friends without spillage. Make sure you have a good corkscrew on hand to open a bottle and leave the cork intact. The twisted metal spiral that is inserted into the cork is called a worm. An ideal worm should be 1 ½ to 2 inches long. It should have smooth rounded edges so as not to crumble the cork as you try to remove it.

Follow these tips for successful cork pulling:

~Center the worm tip on top of the cork and insert. Keep the corkscrew angled as you push its end into the cork.

~Hold the corkscrew vertically above the cork after insertion then twist until it is fully inserted into the cork. Never let the worm reach below the cork’s bottom.

~Pull the corkscrew up with a gentle twisting motion. If you have correctly inserted the worm, you’ll only need to exert a minimum amount of effort to get the cork out.
