Abstract
A device for the controlled removal and re-insertion of the cork used with the conventional champagne bottle. The device has a first member having a cavity which is sized and shaped to straddle the neck of the bottle, with a plastic insert to specifically fit the circumferential rib which the conventional champagne bottle has near the spout. A second member contains annular ridges to slide onto and grip the head of the cork. A single handle utilizes a rack gear mechanism to move the two members apart, linearly and under leverage, so that the cork can be removed and re-inserted with ease.
