How

many times have you pushed a cork into a wine bottle when you were really trying to

pull it out? As annoying as it is, the wine will eventually pour out either way, but how

handy little device that will grab and pull the cork out with very little time or effort.

Very simple to use. The wires expand when in the bottle and contracts when being

pulled out.

The Cork Lift

Franmara offers the Corkfish® with this description

―

Retrieves corks that have fallen

into wine bottles. The tubular handle hides a synthetic mesh. This mesh can be placed

into the tines of the Corkfish® and inserted into the bottle to remove floating cork

fragments in case a cork breaks up. Stainless steel.
