Wine Corkscrew
A Good Corkscrew is an important item to have in your kitchen toolbox especially if you enjoy a glass of wine with your meals.

The Reluctant Gourmet has been known to enjoy a sip or two while preparing a meal. So lucky for me, I was given the Cadillac of corkscrews for my birthday.
Called a Screwpull, it's pictured below and opens most bottles with very little effort and comes with a foil cutter. I've tried them all, including a shoelace in an emergency, but this is my favorite.
