Hi,

Waht are your experiences with carbon dioxyde bottle opener? Is it ok to
use it or does the opening influences the wine in any sense?

Thank you!

best regards
Tom

Someone gave me a CO2 opener many years ago. I found it was not very
effective for removing some very tight corks, especialy in some Italian
wines. I also wondered if the pressure might not burst such a bottle
with a stubborn cork, so I always wrapped the bottle in a heavy towel.
Someone also gave me a cork remover that works using a little hand pump
to inject air through a needle you insert in the cork. This was no more
effective than the CO2 device, and more trouble to use. I have not used
either of these devices in many years. For me it was more simple to use
a conventional cork screw, but others might like the CO2 model,
especially if you do not have bottles with very tight corks. It should
not harm your wine unless you leave the device attached to the cork for
a long time when the cork does not come out. In that case the wine might
have a slight sparkle from the CO2 that dissolves in it over a long
time.

Back in 1970, one of my coworkers got a bad cut when the neck of the
bottle exploded in his hand. We were openning about 12 bottles and he
had already openned 4 or 5 using that device. I think it was the fault
of the bottle rather than the CO2.

One of my buddies was using a CO2 cork remover. The cork was extremely
tight - it wouldn't come loose no matter how much he rocked the remover.
So, he pulled the remover out of the cork (planning on using a normal
corkscrew). The little hole left in the cork became a thin little fountain
of red wine - it was hilarious. The red stain is still in his ceiling tile
over the bar.....
