Cork Pops Refill Cartriges, 2-Per Box

As a vintner we remove the CO2 from the wine as part of our process. This device uses CO2 to “pop” the cork–very clever. However this minor introduction of CO2 is insignificant and will vent quickly. At times there is an off-taste –like a lubricant or something which affects the initial taste of the wine. Let it breath for a while — 5 minutes or so and it seems OK.

This device works well on corks, but is a hit and miss on composites and plastics. Do not use it on partially filled bottles as it takes to much gas from the small cylinder to be effective.

The Cork Pop opener is the easiest, fastest way to uncork wine bottles. One push and the corks come out easily. Works best on real corks.

My wife bought me one of these Cork Pops things, and I thought she was nuts – another TV gimmick. It sat for about 6 months unused. Then I tried it. Now, another 6 months later, I’m ordering refills.

One does have to get used to it. The cork pop can be a surprise, and one must exert some force to remove the cork afterward. But how cool it is! So EASY and quick. A twist of the wrist removes the wrap at top of bottle. Push the needle down through the cork. Press the canister with your thumb, and POP! Cork out. I want to go open bottles for my friends.
