The Durand is an innovative corkscrew designed for removing old, potentially crumbling, fragile corks whole and undamaged. With corks older than 15 years of age you don’t want to put pressure on them from the top, as it may force the cork to disintegrate and end up inside the bottle, mixing with your wine.
Invented by American Wine collector Mark Taylor in 2007 following his search for the perfect opener for older bottles, this is a must-have for the serious wine collector, lover of vintage Port, or professional sommelier.
