Removing a Wine Bottle Cork with an AH-SO Opener

In this video, Bob Paulinski, Master of Wine discusses a wine accessory that’s well worth having around and might just save you a lot of hassle. I’m talking about a cork extractor that goes by several names: ah-so, butler’s friend or the two-prong puller. Whatever name you use, it’s a handy to have around. Why is this opener so handy? It’s ideal for older bottles of wine when the cork may not be in the best condition. I’m talking about wines that are over ten years old. Sometimes with older bottles corks can become soft or crumbly. If you’ve watched my previous videos featuring some old bottles, you’ve watched me struggle getting a cork removed from time to time. Also, its handy when a cork splits and part of it remains in the bottle. You can pick one up at most any decent wine or kitchen gadget store. There’s also plenty of options on Amazon as well. A word of warning, if you toss it in your suitcase while traveling by air, make sure it’s in your checked bag. I recently had one confiscated from my carry on while going through airport security. Trying to explain what it’s not a weapon to the TSA officer was an interesting conversation. How to use it? I’ll be opening a 1998 Sociando Mallet from the Haut Medoc. Insert long prong first between the inside lip of the bottle and edge of the cork. Insert the shorter side. Rock back and forth gently. Be careful to not push the cork into the bottle. Insert deep, twist and pull. You’ll feel the cork start to come free. At about the ¾ extraction point, it’s best to grab the prongs and pull the rest of the way. Why not use it always and ditch your other corkscrews? You certainly could do that. I find that a waiter’s corkscrew is an easier, quicker option with most bottles. I keep this one around for specific circumstances. #winelife #winetasting #wineopener #agedwine #corkscrew #cork #bobpaulinski #masterofwine
