Abstract: A one-piece, hand-operated opener for plastic cork or cap removal. A frame of generally rigid material surrounds a keyhole shaped opening, the circular portion of said opening fitting over the head portion of a plastic cap press-fitted into the neck of a champagne bottle. The slot portion of the opening has a smaller lateral dimension permitting it to be forced between the downward edges of the cap head portion and a flange adjacent to the bottle neck extremity. The frame shape on either side of the slot section of the opening forms a ramp, the thickness of the frame thereat increasing in the direction of a butt portion extending from said frame at the end opposite the opening circular portion. Integral thumb and finger ears extend laterally opposite from the frame adjacent the circular opening portion.
