Join us and let us take to on a ride to the world of corkscrews. Buckle up!
The history of corkscrews
Dated back to the 17th century, the legend of the corkscrew is a treasure. From the day it was introduced until now, it has evolved by adapting to various technical developments and the needs of people. This perfect and vital tool became a functional and refined revolution as soon as wines started to market in bottles. The earliest or probably the first kind of corkscrew to be ever developed was made of many rudimentary tools. When corks were first introduced with glass bottles, it became very evident that opening such bottles required specific tools. Unlike the variants of corkscrews we witness today, back then it simply was a metal rod with a spiral tip. However, the first and improved version of the traditional corkscrew featuring a disc above the helix, which compressed and rotated the cork, was introduced by Samuel Henshall in 1795 and this became the turning point in the history of corkscrews. It was with this innovation that the tool improved and opened the path to variations in the world of corkscrews, making itself a part of the wine culture.
The first corkscrews
With time and technology, many innovations were brought into the realm of corkscrews that resulted in various types of the same.
- Pocket corkscrews
There are only a few of the OG corkscrews that fully retain their functions and one of them is the plastic and portable corkscrew that was made to fit your pockets, naming it the pocket corkscrews. Not only do they fit pockets but also are cheap, come in a wide range of colours and are also easy to find in a pinch.
- The waiter’s corkscrew
The waiter’s corkscrew popularly known as the waiter’s friend was introduced by a German wine lover who combined the features of all the existing wine openers back in the day. He took inspiration from a pocket knife and added a simple foldable function to it.
- Winged corkscrews
This double-lever, rack and pinion corkscrew took the corkscrew world to new heights with its incoming. First patented in 1888, this travelled nations and is still a common household essential.
Choosing the right corkscrew
Now, this requires as much effort as you choose your wine bottle. Because choosing the perfect corkscrew is just like choosing a good bottle of wine. And it required attention to detail. Every wine enthusiast knows that the experience of a good wine begins even before it touches one’s lips. It begins right from the moment when the bottle is bottled. And what’s key here- A good corkscrew. Because you don’t want to get stuck with opening the wine bottle with a low-quality opener, right?
And it doesn’t end here. To add a little bit of spice and a unique touch to the different types of wine openers, you get to customise them, even with logos. For example, consider the customised logo wine keys you get to use in a professional setting. This sparks curiosity. Wine keys are already popular for their simplicity and portability, plus making them custom, adds the spice to it. What goes into choosing a corkscrew is the person using it, the use, the context, the type of bottle and course the cork type. To keep it simple, you will not use the same cork you use at home in a professional setting, because wines do follow etiquette and it differs with the type of bottle.
Conclusion
By now, it must be clear to you that corkscrews are more than just handy tools. They are yet a fun way to elevate your wine game and make moments even more memorable! Whether you prefer a sleek classic or custom logo safety vests, you know where to go!
So, the next time you pop the bottle, imagine the joy this little device brings in!
