Good to know
Known also as the Ah-So or butler's friend, this tool features two parallel metal prongs—one sharp, one blunt—that slide alongside the cork for a leverage-based pull without puncturing or crumbling it. Ideal for whiskey enthusiasts tackling museum-piece bottles where standard worm-style corkscrews risk failure.
