Just a random product recommendation for wine fans: splurge on The Durand. The device has a stupid name and is expensive ($145), but it is capable of extracting corks that are almost disintegrated. You first use the spiral corker, then slide in the two-pronged puller. Super handy if you encounter old bottles of wine. I take it with me to BYOB restaurants so that I don't have to watch in horror as waiter corks the bottle with a standard device.

Badly degraded wine cork skewered on a corkscrew that has two metal arms that slide into the top of a bottle. Cork box in background next to the bottom of an old bottle of wine.
