Consider the corkscrew.<\/span> There\u2019s perhaps no device in the world that greater exemplifies the moment of need, the sort of thing you all but forget about until the exact moment it\u2019s called for. Armed with a trusty screw, the world is your vinous oyster, but go lacking a cork puller at the critical juncture, and you\u2019ll find yourself well and truly screwed.<\/p>\n

Few things in life run a wider gamut of taste and expense than wine, which is simultaneously an everyday drink for the masses and a rich man\u2019s plaything, the sort of hobby in which one might spend $20 or $20,000 on a 750 ml bottle. So, too, goes the corkscrew, which ranges in price and functionality from the humblest plastic pocket tool to the grandest of titanium alloy sommelier status symbol. There are electric corkscrews the size of a personal massager, grand winged corkscrews that look more like something you\u2019d encounter at the dentist, no-name imports that do a surprisingly good job, and name-brand favorites that shockingly disappoint. Every bottle of wine gets you buzzed, but no two bottles of wine are the same, even from the same producer in the very same year; in the same breath every corkscrew opens a bottle of wine, but no two corkscrews are precisely alike, even if they utilize the same general style and approach. The two entities are forever twinned, like that couple you know who seem to be undeniably made for each other\u2014the cork needs the screw, and vice versa. I find something poetic about it all.<\/p>\n
