Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
The Durand is a widely patented device that is extremely effective at removing damaged and fragile corks from older, valuable wines, both whole and intact. The Durand has been put through its paces with the toughest corks. It's always done a fantastic job.
When you use The Durand to remove older, fragile, or compromised corks, you avoid the problems of broken corks, corks pushed into bottles, or corks partially removed with pieces floating in the wine, because The Durand removes the cork whole and contained.
The Durand is named after Yves Durand, a world-famous sommelier who was also a personal mentor and friend.
When used correctly, the Durand is simple and easy to use. Please take a look at the instructions diagram or the informative video on this page for more information. The Durand's cork presentation box is encased in a reusable wrapper with instructions for use printed on the inside.

What country does the product come from? What's the material used to make it?

It's not plastic, and it's very sturdy.

Instead of removing the cork at a right angle, why not insert the prongs into the handle slots before removing the cork?

It allows you to insert the AhSo further down the edge, between the cork and the glass bottle neck, giving you more flexibility. The two prices nestle together for easy turning and cork removal.

On Amazon, it is way too expensive
3/5

This is an excellent product that comes highly recommended, but you can get it from the manufacturer for $125 with free shipping, so it is significantly overpriced.

The price is too high
3/5

This product is far too expensive for the value it provides. In essence, it's a cross between an ahh so cork puller and a standard corkscrew. Both of those products, at this quality level, could be purchased for less than $40. The combination of the two is what makes this product unique, and it comes in handy when pulling old corks - Ports from the past, such as those from Bordeaux. (I'm talking about people who are at least 15 years old. ) It's a useful item if you open a lot of those kinds of wines. The price, however, is not in line with the quality of the product.

Purchase of a Durand Corkscrew
5/5

Because I recently purchased a large quantity of older wines, I decided to purchase this. Corks on older wines are more brittle, and using a traditional corkscrew would ruin every bottle I opened. The Durand was recommended to me by a Wine Som, and it works flawlessly every time; it's the best tool for opening difficult bottles of wine, and it can also be used as a regular wine opener. The cost is justified in order to save a good bottle of wine.

For Older Wines, This Is A Must Have! I had been putting off buying this unit because of the price
5/5

We had to open an older bottle of wine with a clearly deteriorated cork when we visited a friend's house. I stepped in to try out his Durand puller, which he had on hand. I was sold, so I bought one recently and have successfully used it with a few older wines that had suspect corks. If you like older wines, this is the bottle for you. You'll need one of these if you're ten years old.

The only way to open bottles with suspect corks is to use this tool
5/5

Yes, it's a bit pricey for a corkscrew, but it performs far better than a standard corkscrew or an Ah So on its own. One of these is a must-have for any serious wine enthusiast.

Poor design at an exorbitant price
3/5

The ease of use was not what I expected, and the functionality will not work on older corks that have degraded with age. However, my corkpop will remove bad corks with far less effort and for a lot less money.

The Durand is a fantastic wine opener that features the traditional waiter pull as well as the ah so
5/5

Because it takes some effort to use, I only use it on older bottles, but I've never had it fail to pull a cork, and almost every time I use it, it's when I first use a traditional opener and the cork starts to fall apart; it's worked in every case, so how valuable is it to avoid having a half or partial cork fall into your magnificent bottle of 1982 bordeaux? Without a doubt!.

This is how professionals open wine, and if you have any older wines, this product is a'must have
5/5

' It breaks the 'adhesion' a cork can develop with the bottle neck, while the screw part allows you to cleanly extract the cork. This device works best with aged or drier corks that break in half and stay in the bottle, but it can be used with any wine bottle.
