Excellent, accurate video of how to properly use a waiter's corkscrew. I had no problem hearing the audio or understanding what was said. Your attention to technical detail in the explanation was excellent.

[kcochran]

Thank you for a straightforward demonstration of the RIGHT way to do it - very professional, with no jokes, and NOT a demonstration of how to do it wrong. Yes, I watched a few YouTube videos before I found this one. The best.

[precool]

The best, and cleanest demo I've ever seen. Thank you!

[rockfordmel]

This is the best tutorial and explanation I’ve seen yet in my many videos I’ve studied. Thank you very much!

Fantastico! I didn't realize the benefit of leaving the sleeve on until this gentleman clarified. Thank you - today I learnt

[AstiWines]

Thanks for the short, sweet and informative lesson.

[JMYaden]

Fantastic demonstration! Watching these videos has really shown me how lazy I have become, even though I am often opening super-premium bottles tableside. Thank you, sir!

I really like this man. Modest. I want to share a glass with him

[janetveloz]

Thanks for the wine opening tips! I actually learned something! 🙏🏼

[bigbrother]

I want to thank Miss Kerr, my high school years for teaching us how to open a bottle of wine. Only teach not taste. Who knew I'd still have this knowledge.

[coryman]

Top notch instruction, I learned some new details, thanks

[GuilefullyNomadic]

I have been doing this wrong my whole life! Like my mind is totally blown right now!!

Can I say you are my hero???!!!

Also, your presence and aura is really calming. You should keep doing videos. Thank you so much for thinking to make this!

[alicesjoy]

I just broke a bottle of wine this evening trying to opening to no avail.That’s why I’m here 😂

[antoniobragancamartins]

Thank you sir!
I'm so happy because I already had an opening tool like that and I didn't know how it was used! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

How about wiping the top of the bottle after taking off the foil??

[obsoleteprofessor]

Why am I watching this? So I know if I need to fire my butler. He told me half the bottle needed to be poured off because of the floating cork. I wonder what he did with the discarded half.

[redblock]

You should be wiping the top of the bottle with a serviette after removing the tip of the capsule and again after removing the cork according to the official Court of Master Sommeliers wine service guide.

Ugh the only reason I looked this up is because I coil it way too much and the wine ends up with all of this stuff inside of it from that thing. I'm so glad I saw it

“A nice clean cut.” Easy enough with your “somm only” corkscrew. Blades on consumer corkscrews are sold dull or serrated. Both result in the cap being shredded instead of cut.
