Yes. The cold temperature will delay oxidation, keeping your wine fresh for longer. While your mind may immediately go to refrigerating whites, you can also pop your a red in the fridge to extend the life of the bottle. Manual wine openers are generally inexpensive, but they do require some physical effort, which may or may not be OK with you, depending on your desire for convenience or possible ailments, like arthritis. Electric openers are certainly useful for those who open or serve wine frequently. They can be pricey, but they take the hassle out of popping bottles—and some get the job done in mere seconds. A simple opener is a piece of metal with a rectangular or rounded opening in one end and a solid handle large enough to be gripped between the thumb and forefingers on the other. The opening contains a lip that is placed under the edge of the bottle top, pulling it off when upward force is applied to the handle end of the opener.

Yes. Like any kitchen utensil, give your corkscrew a good wipe with a damp cloth after use. Units like a Coravin require more rigorous cleaning procedures, so read up on your particular unit before use. There are several distinct designs of such bottle openers. Wall mounted openers are typically found behind bars in pubs, whilst hand-tool bottle openers tend to be found and used in domestic environments. The functional elements of bottle openers (a tooth or lip to catch the underside of the cap, a fulcrum across which to exert the force that will remove the cap, and usually a lever for mechanical advantage) tend to be consistent, although they can vary in design and aesthetics.

A tastevin is a small, very shallow silver cup or saucer traditionally used by winemakers and sommeliers when judging the maturity and taste of a wine. [4] The saucer-like cups were originally named by Burgundian winemakers [4] and allowed them to judge the clarity and color of wine that was stored in dim, candle-lit wine cellars. Regular wine glasses were too deep to allow for accurate judging of the wine's color in such faint light. Tastevins are designed with a shiny faceted inner surface. Often, the bottom of the cup is convex in shape. The facets, convex bottom, and the shiny inner surface catch as much available light as possible, reflecting it throughout the wine in the cup, making it possible to see through the wine.

Flexibility is also another factor to consider with the design of a wine opener. If you're drinking old wine, the cork may be decayed and fragile, and you don't want an opener that will completely destroy it. On the contrary, other openers may be more suitable for newer corks and even synthetic ones. A wine journal is a journal for recording notes on wine consumed or tasted. It provides a catalogue for the wine enthusiast to record information such as producer, region, vintage, price, date, name of store or restaurant, ranking and tasting notes for wine, champagne and liquors for future review. Some journals offer a space for pasting in the label. Champagne stirrers originally developed centuries ago, when carbonation was seen as a defect, a result of an unintended secondary fermentation; [9] they later fell out of vogue in the mid-18th century as sparkling champagne became desired. Champagne stirrers are today particularly associated with the ostentation of the Roaring 20s, and stirrers from this period especially may be admired or collected as antiques. Besides its affordability, we noted during testing that it is easy to use and requires less skill than a waiter’s friend. If you’re not one to drink a lot of wine, but desire an opener for when guests swing by, this option is an excellent all-purpose option. However, keep in mind that there is no foil cutter, so you will have to use kitchen scissors or a paring knife to open the foil.Céline Bossart, the original author of this roundup, is a wine and spirits writer and sommelier-in-training. She interviewed Linda Trotta, director of North Coast Winemaking at WX Brands, and D.C.-based blogger and wine pro Alicia Chew for expert opinions and recommendations. If you drink wine often, you want something durable that will last through many bottles for years to come. It's also wise to think about extraneous parts that you may have to replace from time to time, including batteries. Works the same as the lever variation, except that it is attached to the wall, to allow for simpler bottle-opening, which can be done with one hand. The bottle cap can fall into a bottle cap catcher mounted below the opener, or it can be retrieved after removal from the bottle. Invented at the same time as the crown cork, it is the original bottle opener. But as well as being portable it also comes as a fixed device to be attached to vertical surfaces, often with a tray to catch the bottle tops. It does not open wine bottles. A bottle opener is a device that enables the removal of metal bottle caps from glass bottles. More generally, it might be thought to include corkscrews used to remove cork or plastic stoppers from wine bottles.
