Let me in (or out depending on point of view)

Today let's talk about opening a wine bottle, with a corkscrew. The kind of corkscrew one uses is a matter of personal preference. I prefer a waiter's corkscrew. I'm not crazy about the rabbit or any other corkscrew, I'm old school in that regard but it works for me. The first thing that needs to be done is to remove the foil or the capsule  which is the stuff that protects and surrounds the cork. There is a small knob on mouth of the bottle and using the blade in the corkscrew cut around the lower part of the knob until is cleanly cut, remove and dispose of. Place the tip of the screw in the center of the cork with the screw itself perpendicular to the wine bottle. With a twist of the wrist turn the screw into the cork while standing the corkscrew up straight. Turn the screw until it is buried in the cork, then place the swinging arm on the lip of the bottle and use the leverage to gently pull the cork from the bottle. When the cork is almost completely removed, grab the cork and gently twist until it is free of the bottle, pour and enjoy. It takes some practice but it becomes second nature with repetition. Get to work, there will be homework.
