The right opener for a special old bottle<\/h2>\n

Opening an old bottle is sometimes the most exciting moment of a tasting. After decades, a natural cork can become brittle and crumble when opened with a regular corkscrew. The Durand was designed for exactly that situation: a tool that combines a classic spiral with the two blades of an Ah-So opener.<\/p>\n

Why Old Corks Deserve Attention<\/h3>\n

Natural cork changes over the years. In a bottle that has been stored for a long time, the cork may have become less firm, meaning that a standard corkscrew does not always provide enough support. The combination of the spiral and blades on The Durand is specifically designed to grip the cork in multiple places during removal.<\/p>\n

Character and Background<\/h3>\n

The spiral grips the cork, while the blades on the sides provide additional support. Together, they help remove the cork in a controlled manner. Even when using this tool, caution is still important: the condition of a very old or damaged cork is never entirely predictable.<\/p>\n

Serve and Discover<\/h3>\n

For collectors of old Bordeaux and Vintage Port, this is a particularly practical accessory. Work slowly, position the parts carefully, and pull the cork without using excessive force. Let an older bottle rest beforehand, and have a decanter ready in case there is sediment. This way, even when you open it, a special wine gets the attention it deserves.<\/p>\n
