Troubleshooting
Cork crumbles upon removal
Ensure the spiral is entering the cork straight and fully. Clean any residue from the spiral before re-using. For very old or dry corks, consider a brief warming of the bottle neck.
Opener feels loose on the bottle
Adjust the position of the opener on the bottle neck to ensure the grips are firmly seated around the rim.
Spiral is difficult to screw into the cork
Ensure the spiral is positioned directly in the center of the cork. Apply steady, even pressure. For very tough corks, a slight twisting motion while pressing down can help.
