wine key
Bottle opener device
A wine key is a compact corkscrew designed for servers and bartenders, combining a worm (the spiral that enters the cork), a hinged lever that braces against the bottle lip, and a small blade for cutting foil capsules.
Also called a waiter's corkscrew or waiter's friend.
Every sommelier carries a wine key.
