Once upon a time in 2001, Facebook, YouTube and the iPhone had not yet been invented, two friends decided to sell Absinthe online. The timing was early, because the Green Fairy had just been legalized in the European Union. But this idea was to last for the next decades. For 20 years, we proudly supply the worldwide Absinthe community with real Absinthe and authentic accessories.
For the celebration of our 20th anniversary, we produced this very special Absinthe accessory: The ALANDIA cork puller. The two prong cork puller replaces a regular corkscrew. Why is such a bottle opener the better choice? Because with a prong cork puller, the cork stays intact. You can easily "pull" the cork out of the bottle. This means no broken corks anymore and easy resealing of the bottle with the original cork. Prong wine openers are very functional for old wine bottles (and pre-ban Absinthes), where the cork is quite porous. But you can use it as well for all other corked Absinthes and of course wine!
ALANDIA 20th Anniversary Bottle Opener
The ALANDIA corkscrew has a classy matte black look. The prongs are made of durable stainless steel. The color contrast looks particularly stylish. The stainless steel case is engraved with our anniversary logo. Each corkscrew weighs 3.53 oz (100 grams), which means it is pleasantly heavy in the hand. Inside, the cork puller is embedded in a black foam inlay. The packaging supports the noble character of this bar accessory and qualifies the corkscrew as a beautiful and practical gift. The ALANDIA cork puller is a limited edition of 1000 pieces.
Prong Cork Puller: How to open your corked bottle of Absinthe (or wine)
The two prong cork puller is different to a regular corkscrew. This is how you use it:
- Slide the longer blade, then the shorter blade between the inside of the bottle and cork.
- Press down the blades with short rocking movements.
- When the blades are completely pressed down, pull the cork upwards in a circular motion.
- The cork is completely intact and can be used to reseal the bottle!
