Wine, has better benefits than other alcoholic drinks. For one thing, it contains antioxidants – more on the red wine than the white – which help anti-aging and cancer. It is not only used for drinking but also for adding flavor to food, like stocks and braising.

And when you are fine dinging, you need to be acquainted on how to open a wine bottle! Granted that the waiter on hand might probably do it for you, he might even use a rogar estate wine opener, but you need to know how to open one just in case you might want to entertain guests at home.

You might want to invest on rogar wine openers too. Look at this beauty:

The steps I am outlining here are to be used with rogar corkscrews: (these are steps summarized from e-How)

1. Remove the top of the lead or foil capsule with the sharp point of the corkscrew.

2. Stand the bottle on a flat, hard surface. Lower the arms of the corkscrew. Holding the corkscrew as vertically and straight as possible, place the sharp end directly into the middle of the cork.

3. Securely grasp the top of the bottle and the lower end of the corkscrew with one hand. 

6. Keep turning the handle until the arms of the corkscrew are completely raised and the screw is well into the cork.

7. With one hand on each arm of the corkscrew, press the arms down. This will lift the cork out of the bottle.

8. Wrap your hand around the base of the corkscrew and lift straight up.

9. Remove the foil, if necessary

10. Twist the cork off the corkscrew.

11. Wipe the rim of the bottle with a clean, damp towel before serving, to remove any stray pieces of cork and, more important, any lead left by the foil.
