You guys are dragging me so hard for this video 😂 I guess people like to get really pedantic about opening wine bottles. So let me clarify. This video is just about how to simply use a wine key at home. Not how to use a wine key when opening a bottle at a three Michelin star restaurant for the president, not how professional Sommeliers open their wine and not proper technique for fine dining, I’ve never worked in fine dining because I was lucky enough to dodge that bullet in my career. I’ve seen a lot of people using a wine key badly, breaking corks and also forgoing the easiest way to get that dang bottle open and that’s what prompted this video 😂 and I don’t care what you say, those two armed wine openers are trash! That my friends is a hill I’ll die on. Anyway take what you will from the video. Open wine however you want, but here’s one good way and for those of you out there who are going to mention it…I DID CUT THE FOIL BELOW THE LIP OF THE BOTTLE!!!
Thanks. Rant over.
And rightfully so respectfully, the wine industry and scene is huge and just like any industry or profession there are right ways and wrong ways of doing things! If you don’t want to be called out on things probably best to stick with content that you are educated on.
@@southwest3369I don’t mind being called out at all.
Yikes. It’s pretty clear you’re a bartender simply showing people how to open a damn bottle of wine. 100% successful video. Haters gonna hate 🤣
@@kevinfager. “bartender”🤣🤣🤣 showing your level of class
@@southwest3369damn must be hard having no friends
Thanks Leandro, I’ve been wildly smashing my wine bottles against counters and tables for years now as I wasn’t quite sure of the correct method. This vid should help 👍
Lmao
🤭🤣
Ha
Well I just realized I’ve been using a wine key so wrong all these years. I thought those grooves were beer bottle openers 🤣🤣🤣
I've had one of these in my drawer for years and never knew how to use it until a friend showed me. while this video didn't teach *me*, I hope it teaches many others who think these waiter's wine keys are "too hard to use" how they actually work. cheers!
Why should I use this instead of my fancy little arm crank doohicky
Because is easier and less anyyoing and more compact and also can be used for other stuff
Hi Leandro, in fact, even in France (where I’m from) 95% of people don’t do it the right way, and you did the same 😂
The right way to cut the foil is to cut it UNDER that little « excess » of glass so the wine is not touching the metal and the drop is most likely to stop and don’t run all the way down on the label etc..
Besides that it’s perfect ! 😂 Even Magnifique was perfectly said ! 😍😂
And at least you have the right tool ! Ahaha
Love your videos keep killing it ! 🍸
in a presentation setting you would also try to keep the bottle from spinning as you cut to show the front facing forward the whole time
Great answer
@Peter Reid it's wrong and you can go to any star restaurants to see ir
@Peter Reid historically lead was used to seal wine bottles, one of the reasons you would cut from the bottom was to mitigate the chance of any wine picking up the lead, you would also wipe the bottle opening to the same effect. So cutting from the bottom his the historical and traditionally correct way. I dont think it makes a difference in modern day though
And another thing to add to your comment, professionals don't pop the cork like that, they gently twist off the cork at the end to avoid that sound.
I tried the spiral thing with 2 arms for the first time recently. Took me a minute. Much prefer the proper tool you show in this video.
Nice choice of wine. Yummy! 😊
Why should we be opening wine this way? Is there any benefit to that over any other opener?
The only benefit is the foil is completely out of the way when pouring the wine so it looks clean and you don’t have to tear pieces off in front of a customer. Of course, you can just use a pearing knife for that and any opener.
@@LemonMeIon i just use a wine foil cutter. It's not like I'm opening the wine before removing the foil, lol.
@@blakerobinson4198 Eh if you’re opening for yourself at home who cares about the foil
no you are good lol there is no difference
I have been throwing My wine away. I'm happy I have been doing it right all these years
Thats not how we do it in England.
Normally we break the bottle over a hated enemies head, drink the few drops that drip down the broken bottle neck and then use the broken bottle to shank the loudest bastard in the pub.
It’s a time honoured tradition.
😅🤣
I bought an opener at BevMo for like $5. It has an interesting feature where it’s kind of like a knife sharpener that goes all around the circumference of the bottle and you just spin it to perfectly remove foil. Super easy.
Thank you for this, I was struggling opening my bottles as I mever grew up in a wine drinking household so I was never taught. Great vid’
Wow how easy the other day I had a hard to open a wine but seen this video I will do it better next time
That's good for the beginning wine drinker but I was taught to cut foil at the bottom lip and put the key slightly off center as it will help prevent with break off in older bottles
What’s the difference I can use the the screw with the arms just as easy as that?
Yeah but can it do jumping jacks like the other one can?
Thank you
why is this better than the alternative?
it's not, but you would need another tool to cut the foil.
@@phobos258 you can just use the tip of the coil to cut the foil. sure in a fancy setting get the right tools...but...at home, who cares
@@phobos258 many times you can just grip the foil and pull it off
@@FullOfMalarky or it has a little pull tab on the side of the foil.
Because people will act like snobs over the smallest most insignificant things.
I didn’t know the two ridges had a purpose. I always just used the bottom one. Cool!
thank you
I just use my electronic opener lol easy peasy
The curls of the screw are usually sized so that you can hold the 2nd ridge against the lip of the bottle to align the tip of the screw with the exact center of the cork.
Thanks!!!!!
Has this guy just showed me how to open a bottle of wine?
I heard you’re supposed to stop at the second to last coil, not sure why I guess to not risk going through all the way and dropping cork in the wine?
tysm
Tnx😊
Thanks bro 🙏
some people say all it takes is a swiss army knife to take your barometric temperature. in celcius!
I’m not particularly fond of the ones with the joint in the middle, but I absolutely agree this is the way.
Nice one boss you gat it
I like my screw thingy with the arms.
Bless you ❤
Lol the other opener is way easier
Why what's the difference I have a collection of difference types of wine openers it doesn't make a difference between the 2 styles
Should? Coz TH-cam said so? 🤣
And why exactly should we use specifically wine-key instead of happy-opener-fella?
Never explained why you should use this tool over the other one.
Naw man, that winged this is fine!
Make a video on opening a wine bottle with the two armed opener. No editing. I’d like to see that
@@TheEducatedBarfly To be fair I've not opened many bottles of wine, but I've never had issue with the winged thing. Just me?
I broke the wine bottle front glass broke while it was leaning down can I still drink this wine ? Did little tiny pieces of glass went back to the bottom of the bottle
Yeeeeeeeees I knew it all along.
That is how you open a wine bottle. Finally, someone explained how to open a cork the right way. Good job bro 👏 👍 👌
You don’t twist the bottle and definitely not popping the cork
As a sommelier that pop made me wince 🤣 Very good informative video though
😂
I always try to teach the kids to hold the bottle low witha straight left arm, at waist height. Purely bcos of the better leverage and if things don't go perfectly, its less obvious
Why is using leverage on one side of the corkscrew correct, but using a corkscrew with leverage on two sides incorrect?
Wait ... that's how you use those tools?
Been using an ahso for about 30 years
Alcoholic me auto bottle opener engaged.
Ha I've done that a thousand times but I forgot about the metal bracer part and was always just pulling it, but it sometimes broke the cork. Duh.
The best way to open a wine bottle with the unscrew the cap 🤔😂🤔😂
FINALLY! I now know. 🍷🗿
I'll use whatever tool is handy.
Dope 👍
He needs his wine rep to teach him how to open a bottle professionally. This way is fine for at home but don’t you dare think this is a fine presentation during service.
This way was meant for home. I don’t I’ll open wine professionally and I never will
Never jank the cork out so it pops!!
Why?
And if you fold the first ridge out of the way before using the second ridge you don't damage your cork when pulling it out.
How can he call thst properly
I never knew what the 2 ridges were for. Now I know.
Wait a second, I love wine keys! Honestly, my parents got me one of those two-arm ones and I can’t stand it, it’s two complicated and the two-arm motion is difficult. This, on the other hand, is super simple! Just take off the foil, twist, and then pull! Although, you can also use a sword😂
With that bottle of wine you can just twist and easily pull that red plastic cover right off. It’s so easy and clean.
Sometimes you can and sometimes you can’t
I'm mesmerized. He's cute.
You can watch him realize how weird using a "wine key" is in real time.
As someone who use it a lot in real time i think your comment making me cringe
I just opened up a new bottle of wine before seeing this video 😄😄
I like to go all the way down to the coil too
So when did the Waiter's Friend become the Wine Key?
It’s always been a wine key patented in 1882 by Karl FA Wienke in Germany. In fact it was called a wine key because of a pronunciation mistake. Originally people were asking where they could get a Wieneke Corkscrew but because English speakers couldn’t pronounce his name they asked for a wine key corkscrew
I would love to see the sabre-method
Thats not with wine
@@xanogunza5593*note to self* sparkling wine isn't wine.
Thanks bud!
Good video. Not saying anything is wrong here per SE, but you should be able to execute the post foil operation there without putting your fingers all over the end of the bottle. I get your hands are probably clean but if I drop some coin at a restaurant I don't want to see the server finger fuck the heck out of the top of the bottle like that. Another poster already mentioned cutting the foil under the glass ridge, which I believe is also pretty useful and common. I don't know what's "official", but I've had a lot of nice wine served by people who serve nice wine all day and I try and follow suit at home. Good to see encouraging the use of the key though!
You sound like you make the bartender stuff your olives with bleu cheese
Can you show me how to drink a glass of water?
The Real how to basic
If you screw the corkscrew all the way there might fall down cork in the wine that makes it damaged...
I always used a knife and twisted it out. Then again I’m only 19 now and the last time I drank wine was when I was 16
Don't put the screw dead center. Imagine the concentric circle the whole screw forms in the center of the cork and put the point of the screw in line with that
Not allowed to open my bottles
of wine, he did bend the corck a little bit
😂
Simple is better
Rotate the wine key when cutting the foil instead of the bottle so the label is always facing forward :)
@@peet98vcell, he said “properly” if you’re gonna say that do it right. He didn’t even cut the foil correctly in two different ways lol
Little fun fact for y’all today. Here in Australia and in the UK a “wine key” is called a “Waiters Mate”. And personally that sounds a lot cooler than “wine key”. So if you wanna go ahead and use that you’re more than welcome.
You mean a waiters friend, I've never heard a strayan say waiters mate?
Sounds catchy. Over time, the term "waiter" has gone out of fashion in the US, and most restaurant workers prefer to be called "servers".
You are not supposed to go all through the cork though, so keep that in mind
Shouldve shown for those in the industry to open with the label always facing the customer!!
Le nom du tir bouchons est: limonadier
Wait, I thought I was supposed to use a shoe to pop the cork out. You’re telling me there’s a KEY?
I just grip the top paper and rip it off. Then uncork
“Most of you use that little screw thing” *uses a little screw thing*
that other screw thing
Not to be that guy but that’s not the proper way. You have to cut the foil bottom ridge of the bottle that way you won’t have any chance of the foil contacting the wine(possibly will mess with the flavor but also to avoid small metal shavings going in the glass. A way easier way is just yanking the foil top off the bottom which then you don’t have to cut at all
Wait ... I love a good wine key, don't get me wrong. But what is wrong with the two arm style corkscrew? If you're using it right and you have a good one, then it works just as well and some people might prefer it. Nothing wrong with that.
Honestly, whatever works for you is the right way to open your wine... as long as you're not breaking the cork in the process and find it easy to do. There's no such thing as the 'proper tool'. Just like there's no 'proper' way to drink your whiskey.
Also a lot of times you can grab that wrapper around the bottle and twist it and pull it right off rather than having to cut around it. I saw a pro wine guy do this one time and my mind was blown. I had been cutting around the edge and trying to peel it off all these years never realizing that most of the time you can just twist the whole thing off in one piece. Much better that way for me personally. So that's now what I do, except for the bottles where for whatever reason that doesn't work... then I'll cut.
Either there’s only one job that need to be done!!
I can see you've seen the error of your ways off your pinned comment. However " what you should be using is this wine key". No lol. You should be using whatever you're comfortable/capable of using.
Nope, wrong! this is a casual way but not the proper way. First you don’t twist the bottle around like he did to cut the foil. That shakes the sediments. You make a 45 degree cut and then go around and make another cut. The label of the wine should be displayed directly out so anyone sitting can see the label.
So the rest is fine but at the end you never pop the cork.
this is definitely not the proper way to open a wine bottle.
Dont rotate the bottle. Rotate the knive
The best way to open a wine bottle is to have a screw-cap bottle.
People are still getting drunk without the doohickey
I’m being a brat, but cut should be under the bottom lip so metal doesn’t taint the wine & label should ALWAYS be facing the guest, regardless if you’re opening or pouring.
Okay, but this video is "how to use a wine key", and doesn't in any way demonstrate why it's better than the other tool.
Probably one of the most unnecessary videos in existence and the other tool he said not to use will work just as well
.......I fail to see the advantage of using the wine key.
I mean does it look slightly fancier sure but like logistically u will always have a knife nearby or a pull tab on the wine.
This seems like one of those situations where it's best practice but only ever done when around people that could appreciate it
@JohnnyDrinks needs to watch this because they did a video on how to open a bottle of wine and they screwed up
Neither of those two guys are in restaurants or food service.
Don't forget you're not supposed to touch an expensive bottle either
Its not properly
Steps followed successfully, but now I'm being followed by police for drinking
