The industry-standard corkscrew has numerous flaws resulting in broken corks—even in the hands of a professional. The present invention is a radical departure from the traditional corkscrew apparatus. The opener generally consists of the handle and an internally threaded half-pipe. The half-pipe slides between the cork and the bottle, wherein the series of threads engage the cork. Rotating the handle causes the threads to bore deeper into the neck of the bottle until the handles meets the lip of the bottle, and then lift the cork out of the bottle until it disengages and falls away from the opener. It should be appreciated that the elegance of the opener resides in its simplicity.

An improved cork removal device that reduces the pressure differential created when a cork is extracted. The device provides for the passage of air from outside of the bottle through the cork, through a passageway in an elongated rod extending from the handle. The elongated rod has openings at a distal end and near the handle, connected with a passageway. This means that when the elongated rod of the cork removal device is inserted into a cork which is sealing a wine bottle, air is free to pass from one opening through the passageway to the other opening. The passage of air when the cork is being extracted, prevents a pressure differential from preventing the cork from extraction, and reduces breakage of the cork. A small flange or expansion at the tip of the corkscrew may be provided to protect the distal end opening from being clogged by cork debris.

A tool for removing of a cork or stop of a bottle is shown, as a single piece bottle stop remover and as an assembly having a primary and a secondary bottle stop remover. Such an assembly has both a primary and a secondary bottle stop remover. The primary bottle stop remover has a handle (1) with a gripping part (9), two legs (2, 3), a first end (4, 5) of each leg (2, 3) is fixed to the handle, wherein the handle (1) includes a through-going opening positioned at an outer surface between the at least two legs (2, 3) and a second opening (11) at the opposite outer surface of the handle (1). The secondary bottle stop remover has a handle section (12) and an insertion section (13), and in a use situation the insertion section (13) may be inserted into the through-going opening.

A corkscrew which is designed to break the seal between the bottle and the cork by pressing the cork down into the bottle before removal. This compression allows the seal to be broken between the bottle and the cork which allows the cork to be pulled with less force on the cork itself.
