I used the port tongs on Taylor as I usually do on all Vintage or LBV's that have a driven cork. I did not do it on the Ramos as I knew I could get away with a cork screw and opened it a day before. I was planning on drinking the Ramos over a couple of days, but that did not happen. I have several cases of the Ramos, so I knew the corkscrew would work on them. Usually I do the tongs as you don't know what the cork is going to do.
