CORKPOPS Wine Opener

The device features a thin needle that you insert through the center of the cork. Once inserted, you press the handle to release a small burst of CO2, which creates internal pressure that gently pushes the cork out of the bottle.

Yes, this opener requires specific CO2 cartridges to function. A single cartridge typically opens between 60 and 80 bottles of wine, depending on the length of the corks.

It works exceptionally well on synthetic corks because the needle passes through them easily. However, for very old or brittle natural corks, the air pressure can sometimes cause the cork to crumble, so a traditional worm-style corkscrew is often safer for vintage bottles.

No, that is the primary advantage of this design. Because the air pressure does the work of lifting the cork, you do not need to twist, pull, or exert any physical effort to uncork the bottle.

The needle is sharp and should be handled with care. It comes with a protective cap to keep it safe when not in use, and you should always keep the bottle pointed away from your face or others while operating the device.
