    "The Durand" is an exceptional device," says Spencer Christian, host of Spencer Christian's Wine Cellar and our in-house sommelier. "It's simple to use and is particularly effective in removing older, fragile or compromised corks--ones that are broken, pushed into the bottle or only partially removed." Just make sure you follow the instruction diagram to avoid any mistakes.
