uncorkers

Wine bottle tools

Uncorkers are devices for removing corks from bottles, especially wine bottles.

The term covers corkscrews and other extraction tools.

Figuratively, an uncorker is something that releases what was contained or gets things flowing: That joke was a real uncorker—everyone loosened up after that.
