  • Patent number: 5483854
    Abstract: The invention herein provides an apparatus and method for effectively removing the cork and its stoppering elements from a bottle containing a pressurized beverage such as champagne and/or sparkling wine. The apparatus has a support structure configured to be grasped by the operator. The support structure supports at least three blades made of a metal material which extend obliquely upwardly and convergingly inwardly into a space in the apparatus. Due to the relative positioning of the blades, the apparatus screwingly crimps the structure of the stoppering elements in the apparatus when it is applied and rotated. The cork and stoppering elements can then be pulled from the bottle in a controlled fashion.
