Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This tool requires no formal setup—it is ready for use immediately out of the packaging. It is compatible with all standard wine bottles and most synthetic or natural cork sizes. To maintain the longevity of your corkscrew, wipe the metal components with a damp cloth after use to remove any wine residue, and ensure the worm and blade are kept dry. Because the device is made of metal, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh detergents or soaking it in water, which can affect the smooth folding action of the joints.
