Durand, Corkscrew

For anyone who enjoys mature wines, the Durand is one of those rare tools that genuinely earns its reputation. Developed specifically for opening older bottles, it combines a traditional corkscrew with an Ah-So two-pronged extractor, allowing even the most fragile corks to be removed cleanly and intact. It's a simple idea, but one that's transformed the way collectors, sommeliers and auction houses open fine wine.

Using the Durand takes only a little practice. The worm provides stability while the two prongs support the cork from either side, reducing the risk of it crumbling or breaking apart – a common problem with bottles that have spent decades in the cellar. If you regularly drink older Bordeaux, Burgundy, Barolo or vintage Port, it's one of the best investments you can make. Many wine professionals simply wouldn't open a mature bottle without one.
