You have your handles that grip around the neck of the bottle. You have the worm or the coil goes right into the cork. And you have your lever. Pull down on the lever.

A corkscrew is a tool for drawing corks from wine bottles and other household bottles that may be sealed with corks. In its traditional form, a corkscrew simply consists of a pointed metallic helix (often called the "worm") attached to a handle, which the user screws into the cork and pulls to extract it.

This wine opener includes a foil cutter, and an extra non-stick coated spiral. A great gift idea for any wine enthusiast, this corkscrew is a must for all celebrations big or small. Pulls a cork in just three seconds. Automatically releases cork. Works on all bottle sizes and cork types.

The first written reference to a corkscrew appears in a 1681 museum catalog that compares one rarity to “a Steel Worme used for the drawing of Corks out of Bottles,” implying that such a tool was commonplace at the time. Later, the term bottlescrew gained favor.

Now move the second hinge of the cork screw to the live of the bottle. This will give you extra leverage to make pulling off the rest of the cork effortless. And mess free.

The first patented corkscrew was established in 1795 in a collaboration between Reverend Samuel Henshall and Birmingham manufacturer Matthew Boulton. Their key improvement on the traditional corkscrew design was the addition of a concave disk between the handle and the 'worm'.

This is your worm. And of course you've got your oil cutter knife so you're gonna press that against the neck of the bottle you're gonna squeeze it with your thumb. You just twist around to get that

Basic. In its traditional form, a corkscrew is simply a steel screw attached to a perpendicular handle, made of wood or some other material. The user grips the handle and screws the metal point into the cork, until the helix is firmly embedded, then a vertical pull on the corkscrew extracts the cork from the bottle.

Corkscrew worm: A single metal helix that drives into a wine cork to remove it from the bottle. The helix grabs the cork as it is twisted in so that the cork can be fully removed from the wine bottle. Corkscrew handle: Provides the leverage and grip necessary to remove corks from the wine bottle.

References to corkscrews have been noted as early as the 1680s, although they were then dubbed 'steel worms'. These instruments were variations on the 'gun worm', a tool that soldiers used to clean their musket barrels. Corkscrews were made from the late 1600s, but specimens from this time are difficult to find.
