This is called a foil cutter you want to cut on the second lip so no wine actually comes in contact with the foil traditionally these foils contain lead and you didn't want to have any lead in your wine since the rules of change out of tradition we still cut on the second lip so you make two cuts that's one.
Underneath that's two and then we will make what we call the C-section up the side and twist and turn off we're going to open the lever pull out your Helix I always like to go off centered and then press in and then turn we just want to turn you want to turn the corkscrew not the bottle and then the first lever is the highest lever and.
You just want to press so now this is caught on the first lip and then you just pull up and then you go back down to the second lever as you guys can see here and then press and then it's really almost out now and then you just take your key and just turn and twist and.
How do you put it back in
Good to know about cutting foil on the lower lip thanks
You're appropriating my culture.
what a wisdom
Not a big wine drinker but, I didn't know how yo use this so I pushed the cork inside 😅 it just meant I had to drink the whole bottle. (I will only drink ice wine now because of it lol)
Fancy!
You certainly don't put your fingers all over the bottleneck like this guy just did – that's utterly unprofessional and you'd get fired in any gastronomic restaurant in Europe just for doing that.
The second lip trick + "c-section-as-we-call-it" = bs, most wine specialists in France and Italy open it at the first lip, no "c-section" needed.
That's where internet's at nowadays. Teaching people how to use a corkscrew… and badly.
Thanks youtube!
why tf would a modern product contain lead… this isn't 1800
when you still end up using a knife.
Nice and fancy but I would always rely on the shoe taping technique followed by biting the cork out. Way more traditional here in France
I don't have much interest in wine but I do enjoy listening to this guy talk
Wow…. Guys explaining what I'm doing everytime, with the very same tire-bouchon.
How do you do that usually in the US ?… 😂
Aaah never knew there was a second lever/notch on the corn screw – thank you 🙌
Incredible
those types of wine keys are also called 2 step wine keys/wine tools/etc. there are other ones that you only do 1 step versus 2 steps. 2 steps can be easier to use for beginners and/or for people who have a tendency to accidentally break the cork.
