Port Tongs

Ref: gd6523

Price: £59.95

Quantity:

Removing the cork from a bottle of Vintage Port can be a tricky business. With time even the best quality natural corks can crumble and become very fragile. A traditional corkscrew may cause part of the cork to explode from the bottom of the cork into the bottle of Port.

Using Port Tongs to remove the whole bottle-neck (glass and the cork complete) is an old technique. The black iron tongs are heated to a red hot temperature (the polished wood handles help from burning your hands) then gripped around the neck of the bottle.

Apply the heated tongs to the neck of the bottle for a few minutes. Quickly remove and apply a damp cloth to the same position. The sudden change in temperature will cause the bottle neck to break cleanly and neatly. The contents should still be decanted for best results.

Using Port Tongs helps in preventing sediment being disturbed and contamination of the Port via crumbling corks.
