Burrowing into minutia: "The Rabbit"-type cork pullers are far easier and faster.
I've seen faster. In a luxury restaurant. It was just a long curved awl with a T handle. No idea how difficult it is to master or how good it is for problem corks. But fast? Sure.
Never seen one in shops.
Edit: curved I mean a soft S shape. No screw.
- throwaway984393 5y agoCork pullers for expensive wine are just two metal flat prongs that slide down the sides, and you twist the bottle and pull. It keeps the cork intact so that old deteriorated cork doesn't fall into the wine. Both the most minimal and effective uncorker, and of course nobody owns one except chefs, sommeliers and rich folk
- narag 5y agoIIRC it was just one metal pointy piece. It's no mistery how it pulled the cork: the S shape. Probably driving it in the cork is more difficult... anyway it was just a second.
