Good corkscrew

I'm also not a fan of the standard waiter's friend, but a slight variation makes one much better. A double step variety makes it easier to pull the cork straight out of the top of the bottle. I have one that is about ten years old that has never given me any problems.

I use the exact same style and find it very easy to use.

Any particular brand, or just one of that design. The cheap one I have looks a little like that. Though the "hook" doesn't stay on the lip of the bottle. May try to find one of these in the next few days. Don't really matter, as long as it works and doesn't destroy the cork.

I read somewhere that alot of wineries are going away from corks to screw tops. Mostly American, Australian, etc. Europe is still supposed to be mostly corks, but slowly changing over. You guys seen any signs of this?
