Foil cutters can be found either by
themselves or in accessory packages. You
simply place them over the top of the wine bottle, apply pressure, and rotate
them, cutting a circle around the top of the foil that can then be removed to
provide access to the cork. What's nice
about a foil cutter is that they provide a clean cut, remove any danger to
yourself, and won't shred the foil into little bits that can find their way
into the bottle if you're not careful.
At only a few dollars at an wine shop, there's no reason not to have one
of these stored next to your corkscrew.
Drip Collar
Most of us have had the experience of
pouring a glass of wine, and then having to catch the drip that starts a race
down the side of the bottle. A drip
collar is a great way to avoid drops making their way down a bottle to come to
rest on your counter, floor, or carpeting.
A simple piece of metal with a felt lining is simply placed around the
neck of the bottle and held in place by your hand while you pour. Any wine that drips over is just absorbed
into the felt instead of staining a surface in your home.
