CORKPOPS Wine Opener

The device uses a small needle that you insert through the cork into the bottle. Once inserted, you press a button to release a burst of CO2 gas, which gently pushes the cork out of the bottle from the inside.

Yes, the device requires a CO2 cartridge to function. Each cartridge typically opens a specific number of bottles, so you will need to replace them periodically depending on how often you use the opener.

It is actually an excellent choice for older or fragile corks. Because it uses pressure rather than a twisting screw, it avoids the mechanical stress that often causes brittle corks to break or crumble into the wine.

It works on most standard wine bottles. However, it is not designed for use with sparkling wine or champagne bottles, as the pressure inside those bottles is already high and the corks are secured differently.

No, this opener is not dishwasher safe. You should clean it by wiping the exterior with a damp cloth; do not submerge the unit in water.
