Corkscrews come in many shapes and sizes. Some are easy to use and require little skill; others are more difficult and require a good amount of skill. The Ah So corkscrew is one of the more challenging of corkscrews. With a little practice, you will be able to use an Ah So corkscrew with grace and ease.
Instructions
1. Know the design of an Ah So corkscrew. These corkscrews do not have "worms" that are inserted into the cork. Instead, they have two thick prongs and one of the prongs is a bit longer than the other.
2. Remove the foil from the wine bottle. Ah So corkscrews do not come with foil cutters or a serrated knife. Remove the foil with a steak knife or a Swiss army knife.
3. Slide the longer prong in between the cork and the bottle. Slowly and gently, work the prong down a short way.
4. Insert the shorter prong. After the longer prong is inserted into the neck of the bottle, bend the handle of the Ah So corkscrew and gently insert the shorter prong.
5. Work both prongs down slowly by gently wiggling the corkscrew from side to side. Work them down until the handle of the Ah So corkscrew reaches the top lip of the bottle.
6. Slowly twist the cork while pulling up until the cork comes out clean.
