Pulltex describes the Pulltap's Classic double lever as having revolutionized the uncorking of wine, and the claim is a fair one: the two-step action pulls corks out effortlessly without breaking or damaging them, and the model is widely used by hospitality professionals. The construction is straightforward and proven: a zamak handle, a Teflon-coated spiral, a micro-saw foil blade and a nickel-plated steel lever.
The double lever is the whole point. The first step starts the cork, the second finishes it, and the cork arrives whole even when it is old or fragile. The tool folds to pocket size and does the three jobs a waiter's corkscrew must do: foil, cork and crown cap.
The Classic is offered in a range of colours; the black version shown here, reference 109131, is listed on the maker's own shop at EUR 22.87. The official product page is pulltex.com.
