How to use the sommelier knife and precautions
Wine poured into a glass
Sommelier knives have many dangerous parts such as screws, so you need to be careful when using them. So, finally, I will introduce the points to note for using the sommelier knife safely.
Basic usage
When removing the cork, first cut and remove the cap seal with a knife.
When inserting the screw into the cork, first insert it diagonally, and when it stabilizes, insert it in while standing upright. Once the screw is firmly in place, hook the hook into the mouth of the bottle and lift the grip.
For double-action, first, hook the hook on the top, and if you can’t lift it, hook the hook on the bottom and pull out the entire cork.
Let’s store it in a case
A sommelier knife may cause a sharp screw or knife to pop out suddenly, resulting in injury to the limbs. It is important to store the sommelier knife in case to prevent injury.
Also, wooden grips may break when dropped, so use a case to protect the sommelier knife.
Let’s open wine smartly with a sommelier knife
One of the charms of the sommelier knife is that you can get out of the cork smartly because all the items you need to open the wine are gathered together. If you can open it smartly at a party etc., the atmosphere will be lively with its coolness.
However, knives and screws are easily injured and should be handled with care. Enjoy delicious wine with the correct use of an easy-to-use sommelier knife.
