The Le Creuset LM-250 wine opener is a reinterpretation of Herbert Allen's original corkscrew model, this modern wine opener is unbeatably effective as the cork can be easily removed using the foil cutter and lever, the corkscrew is also equipped with a strong non-stick coating, which allows the screw to penetrate through both natural and synthetic corks without damage, remove any foil covering the cork and check that the neck and rim of the bottle are free from chips and cracks, hold the bottle on a firm, flat surface when opening, be careful when opening - the tip of the corkscrew is sharp, make sure that the corkscrew is always perpendicular to the neck of the bottle before opening it, before using your wine accessory for the first time you should always follow the instructions for your specific model, clean your corkscrew occasionally with a damp cloth or warm soapy water, dry it well after rinsing and store it in a dry place
