When was the last time you used a cork screw?

Question

I've been doing some tidying up and I've found a cork screw at the back of the cupboard. It must have been years since I've used one because most bottles are screw cap now.
So when was the the last time you did it the old fashioned way?

Well, if you don't buy anything that you can't unscrew the cap, you are putting all of the good Cork Soakers out of business. There are many men AND women at the wineries in Northern California that do nothing but soak corks. Some soak the 'long skinny' ones, some soak the 'short fat" ones and some that Soak the black ones. If we don't cork wine bottles, ... no need for cork soakers.

That said, out our house, 'We will drink no wine, before we get the cap screwed off"

Let the cork soakers find another job

Your options were really funny.

My wife and I like wine, but we don't drink it very often at home. I have a few different kinds of corkscrews in a drawer but can't remember when I had to use one. Actually, it might have been on New Years.

"My crush served me wine from a carton what does it mean"? When I read something like that I know I'm on g@g and it's time for Spanish Sangria that is traditionally sold with a screw cap.

3 days ago, on my birthday. I used it a few minutes after I wished to quit alcohol at my new age.

Made beef bourguinon a few weeks ago, that bottle was corked other than that my only corkscrew experience was opening a bottle of Pichon-Longueville, my vintage

N. b. it was a treat from my friend in exotic rentals upon the sale of the Vacherons I said about and he cleared 90k on, paired well with the Chateaubriand

It was about a month ago. My SO and I opened a bottle of red wine that we've had for a while. It had a cork (an artificial one, I might add) and we used a cork screw.

mstbooblover · Answer

Regularly I open a bottle of wine when enjoying a meal, and if many bottles indeed have screw caps, or a kind of plastic tab (wine in carton), most have still a plain cork. So, yes, I do use regularly a cork screw.

It's important to take the cork out and put it in water. I've soaked a lot of cork in my day. I'd even say I'm a talented cork soaker at this point.

Every time I buy a good bottle of wine only the cheap inferior wines have screw tops at least where I live.

Just had a bottle of Duplin's Mother Vine Wine the other day. All the wine we get come with corks. If we get any with a screw top we pass it along to someone else.
