Using a corkscrew does not require great aptitude or talent. However, the subtle pop of a cork being pulled from the mouth of a wine bottle can help build anticipation for a table of guests. It helps to know the best way to utilize your corkscrew, especially if you are presenting and opening a bottle of wine at a guest’s table. There are common varieties that more waiters carry with them, and others that are mainly for home use. With whatever type of corkscrew you are using, be sure the worm—the spiral “screw” portion of the corkscrew—does not extend below the cork itself. This will only make it more difficult to remove the cork from the wine bottle.
