A lever corkscrew is a type of wine opener designed to remove corks from bottles with minimal effort. It features a lever mechanism that allows the user to pull the cork out by simply pressing down on the lever, making it easier to open wine bottles compared to traditional corkscrews. This design is particularly useful for those with limited hand strength. Typically made of metal or plastic, lever corkscrews often include a built-in foil cutter for removing the capsule from the bottle neck. They are popular among wine enthusiasts and are commonly found in homes, restaurants, and bars, enhancing the wine-opening experience.
