Antique Corkscrew Collection - Why I Bought These.

In this video I am going over some classic cork screws that I have picked up over the years. We will test out the Lund Single Lever Action Corkscrew and review what to look for in an antique corkscrew or wine opener.

Boy, we need more videos from you. Across all of KZbin, you are the most knowledgeable person about home winemaking. I got so much knowledge from your channel, so my wine getting better and better because of you. Thanks! Please, if it is possible for you - do some wine tasting of your wine!

[@TheHomeWinemakingChannel]

THANK YOU!!! That is an incredible testimonial. Lol. It is such a small community that I just can't justify dialing back my full time job and dialing up my KZbin but someday I will!. I post a good bit more videos on my Patreon page anymore since the KZbin algorithm doesn't really do any favors for wine influencers.

Nice. Thank you. I love to see the old corkscrews. It's been awhile thanks for posting a video

[@TheHomeWinemakingChannel]

Thanks David! Yeah the old corkscrews are pretty cool and make for a nice decoration as a wine person.

This was super helpful thank you! I've just seen one of those lever corkscrews I'm thinking of buying. Thank you!

Nice collection and interesting trivia. Mainly use a Lazy Fish corkscrew as it works well and I appreciate the mechanics of it. Cheers! 🦆

[@TheHomeWinemakingChannel]

Thanks! I have pondered if I need a lazy fish or otherwise scissor style corkscrew. They are neat.

Fun video. These cork screws could be a great shadow box display if you're into things like that. Cheerz.

The boy is likely a take on the famous Manneken Pis landmark statue in Brussels Belgium.

What is the best corks to use that's easy to come out

[@TheHomeWinemakingChannel]

You can size down to a #8 cork instead of a #9 but you are risking longevity. If you plan to drink the wine within a couple years it will be fine though. A #8 will blow if any tiny bit of renewed fermentation or MLF happens in the bottle also whereas a #9 will hold a little pressure. Nomacorks seem to slide out pretty good. Cheap agglomerated corks do too but I wouldn't bottle anything premium with an agglomerated. A good two step waiters corkscrew like a Truetap or Coutale will pull out the most stubborn corks with very little effort.

I added a comment on your , making wine from cheap wine kits. Hope you will answer.

Pretty screwy lol. Now you need to buy a saber.

[@TheHomeWinemakingChannel]
