How Does an Electric Cork Screw Work?
The Electric Cork Screw
You can now take away the risk of leaving part of the cork in the bottle. Electric cork screws have now become quite common even among the more traditional wine lovers. Electric cork screws actually sit on a dock and charge. They range in price from just under $20 to a commercial version that can be in excess of $2500. You can open as many as 80 bottles from one charge depending on the model you select. Most come with a foil cutter to cut away the foil covering and some even come with a cheese grater.
Use the Electric Cork Screw
Allow your newly acquired wine opener to charge for at least 8 hours before you start to open bottles. Place the foil cutter at the tip of the bottle and cut the foil so you can see the cork..The foil cutter is stored in it's own space on the dock. Hold up the opener, and it you look up inside you can see the corkscrew. Place it on top of the bottle and then push the button. It will automatically come down into the cork and then pull it out. You have to hold the bottle in one hand while holding the opener in the other. The whole process takes between 10 and 15 seconds. Push the button in the opposite direction to release the cork from inside the opener.
Advantages of The Electric Cork Screw
One of the biggest advantages for the cork screw is it is effortless to use. Anyone who has a problem with arm strength will be able to use the opener with ease. Another advantage is that it is always ready to use. Keep the opener on the charger when not in use and when you get that unexpected guest with bottle of wine in her hand, you will be ready. You won't have to go searching through every junk drawer in the house looking for your manual cork screw. And lastly, it will take out the entire cork, every time. There's nothing worse than having a wonderful bottle of wine and the cork breaks. Then you end up forcing the bottom half into the bottle to get to the wine. No one likes picking cork out of their glass of wine.
