The Durand® two part device to successfully remove older and fragile wine corks whole and intact.

This design has yet to disappoint when opening a bottle of wine. While younger wines can be opened without incident by any corkscrew, this one makes it possible to remove corks as a single piece from double digit year old wines. While expensive, I have always relied on it to do a great job.

This is the ultimate tool for wine cork removal. Beautifully engineered and elegant. It is indispensable and virtually guaranteed to work when dealing with older bottles that may have brittle corks. Take a bit of practice to learn how to use it but, once you've mastered the technique, it is actually easy.

Requires a little bit of practice, but it’s a godsend and works as promised. I have used it to successfully remove corks that are 20+ years old and falling apart.

The Durand is my go-to opener when I’ve got older bottles to open. It keeps the cork intact, is easy to use, and it works perfectly every time.

Love this corkscrew. It allows me to open my old wines while avoiding the hassle of broken corks. It’s a must for anyone who drinks old wines.

Ingenious!!! I’ve pulled some old corks (‘86 Pichon LaLande) , and some that looked fragile. Fantastic results! Worth every penny in results and lack of frustration. You still need some skill and patience to slide old corks out intact… but it’s at least doable!

This thing is amazing. It is amazing how well it works with old fragile corks. And it is amazing how expensive it is. It is basically a cork screw and an Ah So cork remover. Each of these independently costs about $10 (if that). Put them together into this devices and it is almost ten times that. ($145 when I bought it.) So, I resisted buying this because the expense seemed ridiculous. But after too many crumbled corks, I went for it. The thing actually works! If you are opening fine old bottles of wine, this may be just what you need -- at the price of one of those fine old bottles of wine! Cheers!

Nice to have both cork screwy and ah so options nicely engineered together, a bit expensive
