Corkscrew SUPREMINOX 400-08780 stainless steel, Teflon handle, 12 cm

The SUPREMINOX corkscrew model 400-08780 is a compact manual opener made from stainless steel with a total length of 12 cm and a Teflon-coated handle. It is engineered for reliable removal of natural and synthetic corks; the metal worm and solid construction allow smooth penetration into the cork and controlled extraction. Its small footprint and corrosion-resistant materials make it suitable for frequent domestic use as well as professional settings where a simple, durable hand tool is preferred.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and maintains structural strength during repeated use, while the Teflon handle improves grip and reduces slipping when turning the screw. The short 12 cm length yields a lightweight, portable tool that stores easily in drawers or service stations. The metal worm is designed for secure engagement with corks to minimize crumbling and facilitate straight extraction.

Suitable for

• Opening wine bottles with natural or synthetic corks at home
• Use in restaurants, bars and catering services for table-side opening
• Travel and outdoor dining where a compact corkscrew is needed
• Occasional use by casual wine drinkers and regular use by service staff

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel body and worm; Teflon-coated handle
• Total length: 12 cm
• Type: manual corkscrew with single worm
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface
• Weight: lightweight, designed for easy handling

How to use

Hold the bottle steady and place the point of the metal worm in the centre of the cork. Apply slight downward pressure while turning the handle clockwise so the worm threads into the cork. Continue until most of the worm is embedded, then apply steady upward traction while keeping the bottle stable to extract the cork. If resistance is encountered, stop and reposition the worm to avoid cork breakage. Clean the worm after use and dry the tool to maintain the stainless finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results with both natural and synthetic corks, insert the worm straight into the centre of the cork and turn steadily; avoid excessive force to reduce the risk of cork fragmentation. Store the corkscrew in a dry place and rinse any residue off the worm after each use to prolong the life of the stainless steel and preserve the Teflon coating.
