Suctioning Stopper Removers

'My Corkscrew Sucks' Opens a Wine Bottle without Damaging the Plug

— May 1, 2013 — Unique
There are several reasons why 'My Corkscrew Sucks' is more useful than your typical literal cork-screws. This contraption requires less muscle and dexterity, it's quick to use and it keeps the bottle stopper completely in tact.

For those who like to collect corks as keepsakes, this last feature of the gadget would be especially appealing. It takes a bit of luck and a bit of technique to open a wine bottle without damaging the cork. Too often, the metal helix penetrates the plug, breaks it and chunks of the bark-derived material fall into beverage below. Sometimes this makes it impossible to pull the entire stopper up from the neck.

Alan Kwok's playfully named 'My Corkscrew Sucks' would be easy to operate. Fix the vacuum corkscrew to the top of the vessel, shut it, and rotate the wind-up top as its rising core will lower the air pressure and draw the cork upwards.
Trend Themes
1. Effortless Opening - The trend of suctioning stopper removers like 'My Corkscrew Sucks' offers a more effortless and user-friendly way to open wine bottles without damaging the cork.
2. Preservation Friendly - Suctioning stopper removers allow for the preservation of corks, appealing to those who collect corks as keepsakes and adding value to the product.
3. Quick and Easy - The convenience and speed of using suctioning stopper removers present a disruptive innovation opportunity in the wine accessory market.
Industry Implications
1. Wine Accessory - The wine accessory industry can adopt suctioning stopper removers to provide a more user-friendly experience for wine enthusiasts.
2. Collectibles - The collectibles industry can leverage the preservation feature of suctioning stopper removers to attract customers who enjoy collecting corks.
3. Kitchen Gadgets - The kitchen gadget industry can tap into the trend of suctioning stopper removers to offer efficient and easy-to-use products for opening wine bottles.
