corkscrew wire or worm ?
For some time now I have been reading about the pros and cons of different types of screw forms used in corkscrews, namely the wire type and formed helix/auger or worm type.
I was wondering what peoples experiences were of using these different screw types.
Here is an example of the formed auger, helix or worm.

The wire type looks like a curly pigs tail.
My own experience is that many wire types are harder to get into the cork and don't always extract the cork correctly.
Please share your experiences on which is best for the job (opening wine) as I am considering making my own or getting a jeweler to make a special one for me.
The auger type is useless on an old cork or a stubborn cork: it just rips out the center of the cork.
The only decent one is what you call a wire type because it gives enough grip to gently extract a crumbling or moldy old cork and also pulls out a stuck cork without damaging it.
The screw should be thin, with a sharp point, and long enough to go right to the bottom of a long cork, and ideally should be coated in Teflon.
It is obvious just by looking at it that the wire type will get a better grip than the auger which is a thick tube with a narrow twisting blade around it, like a helter skelter. That narrow blade is the only thing giving a pull to the cork.
You can buy decent waiters friends type corkscrews with such a screw for a less than a fiver, or there are the various types of Screwpull.
You'll not see any professional using the augertype. In two words: it's useless.
