Master the art of ceremonial wine opening with the traditional Port Tongs. Loved by sommeliers for opening old vintages where cork removal by corkscrew is impossible, these tongs offer a clean, reliable way to open rare bottles without damaging the cork or wine.
The technique relies on a classic thermal shock ritual: heat the tongs until red-hot, clamp them around the bottle neck for several seconds, then apply cold water to cause a clean, effortless break along the glass. The top of the neck separates smoothly, leaving no cork dust or glass fragments in the wine.
Combining timeless sommelier heritage with impressive tableside presentation, these professional port tongs elevate any high-end tasting event. They are an essential instrument for opening historic bottles with the reverence and flair they deserve.
