“The Durand^® is invaluable! As a floor sommelier with some older offerings, I haven’t had any corks disintegrate from usage of the Durand®, even some real mules which are notorious for making cork dust (50’s Bordeaux, late 60’s Napa) Thanks for the great product!”

“It has been the most valuable wine tool I have ever used… The Durand® has been so valuable I hope everyone gets one and enjoys it…”

“I have opened hundreds of bottles flawlessly with The Durand®. Typical issues of problem cork removal are eliminated with The Durand’s® unique ability to stabilize the cork during extraction, eliminating side tension, the primary cause of cork fracture and breakage. It is a “must-have” tool for the wine enthusiast and Sommelier to avoid cork removal issues.

I give The Durand® my highest recommendation.”

“At the American Wine Society National Conference Nov. 7-9, we had a vertical tasting of Faustino Gran Reserva Rioja back to 1964. The presenter brought his Durand and it opened the ’64, ’70, ’82 and ’00 Faustino’s without a single broken cork. The picture shows him holding the unbroken cork from the ’64 with The Durand nearby.”

“When opening some of the world’s oldest and rarest wines, there is only one option, The Durand. It is the single greatest wine opener on the planet, and I don’t leave home without it.”
