Durand Wine Opener

Regular price $169.95

Named for the late Yves Durand, a renowned French sommelier, this wine opener is Christopher Kimball’s tool of choice for vintage corks. It’s designed to effectively remove fragile or compromised corks from older wines (though Chris recommends them for any bottle) without breaking them. Throughout years of rigorous testing, the Durand has consistently removed even the most brittle corks whole with its ingenious two part design.

Dimensions: 6.3 inches

Materials: Steel

Simply twist the waiter’s friend-style corkscrew into a cork, then slip the blades into the neck of the bottle next to the cork. Lock the pieces together and pull gently until the cork releases. See the video demonstration here for more details.
