ABSTRACT:
Device for opening bottles with natural corks. The device may include a bottle rest to be laterally positioned around a neck of the bottle to encircle a mouth of the bottle on three sides and from above and below the mouth, a holding tongue downwardly extending from the bottle rest adapted to be positioned adjacent the bottle neck, and a cork holder to hold a head of the cork on three sides and from above and below the head of the cork. The cork holder may be movably mounted in the bottle rest, and a lever may be rotatably mounted to the bottle rest, such that rotational movement of the lever provides relative movement between the bottle rest and the cork holder. The cork holder may be pivotably mounted around a rotational axis of the bottle rest at an upper end of a lifting motion, such that the rotational axis runs perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the bottle and is positioned eccentrically at a level of a bottle opening. The lever may include a stop mechanism to define the upper end of the lifting motion and a curved deaeration track arranged such that, during rotation of the lever, the cork holder rotates around the rotational axis under the pressure of the cork.
