By James Foley

When you’re ready for your Friday nights to transcend the High Life, start making things a little classy; drink wine.

The most useful tool any wine drinker can own is a professional corkscrew. These are the lever-style corkscrews can extract the cork in a matter of seconds with no chance of leaving little bits of cork floating in your drink. It’s impossible to screw it up — no matter how many glasses you’ve downed.

Bed Bath & Beyond sells a five piece corkscrew set for a friendly price of $9.99. It comes with a lever-style corkscrew, foil cutter, bottle stopper, extra coil and a convenient countertop stand.

Enjoy, wino.
