Corkscrew on Fermentation Nation

[CarboAl]

Anybody know anything about the corkscrew used on this episode. It looks easy to use, my wife has arthritis in her hands and may help her open wine.

I have a friend with an electric cork screw and it's quite nice. I don't know if AB used this particular brand, but this is one I'm looking at:

not the electric one but the manual one.

For what it's worth, I think the type of corkscrew he was showing off is called a "screwpull" type. I haven't seen a similar one in style yet, but I think they do about the same thing. The type I have is marketed as "Lazy Fish" and is designed to appear as such. Just screw into the cork with the mouth end of the fish then pull the tail to cleanly remove the cork. Hope this helps!

I have one similar to that. it uses a CO2 cartridge and sucks the cork out easily.
