The Rosendahl cork screw was designed to minimize, the risk of ruining the cork. At the same time the spiral is so long that it gets a good grip - even on old and long corks. |
| The corks screws very special system of turning the spiral and pulling the cork out in the same movement, also makes it suited for wine lovers with little strength as the spiral is coated with Teflon so it slides easily while maintaining a firm grip, without ruining the cork. | | Grab the neck of the bottle, press the tip easily against the cork and turn it clockwise. With consistent movements the cork is lifted out of the bottle, without cork sediment and whirling around the residuum. | | So when is the right time to open the wine? | | Well, according to many wine labels you should "really open the wine and let it stand between 1 hour and 1½ hours before serving". This is nonsense! | | The surface, on which this wine is aerating, is too little to have influence on the taste and fragrance of the wine. In the best case the, younger wines have the opportunity to de-vaporize the traces of the sulfide added by wine producer to prevent the wine from re-fermenting. | | Only the oldest wines risk evaporating if they are opened too early. As a rule of thumb, wines older than 15 years should be opened immediately before serving - preferably at the table because it increases the appetite. | | So there you have it. |
