Promoted by another thread, I’m intrigued how many corkscrews you own. Please include butler’s thief / ah-so and anything else that is designed to remove corks from bottles (so I suppose oddities like Port tongs should also count, but a sabre would not as it’s designed for less sociable usage).
I included none, as for some Aussies / Kiwis there will come a time fairly soon where they have no use for a corkscrew
I voted six because, I know I have at least a half dozen, but it might be more. I usually keep one in each of my travel bags and then have a handful or so scattered about the kitchen.
Several dozen. Just found another box. Waiter’s corkscrews that we used to give away. Then a dollar store near me had a sale on cheap versions of the ah-so and I picked up about ten of them since I seem to end up leaving them in restaurants if I bring an old wine. Also have one complicated contraption from my parents and two Rabbits and a large one on a granite stand that’s on the counter. One Languiole.
Ok I can understand the ITB folks having more corkscrews than teaspoons, but I’m amazed at the numbers at 9+. That said, when I counted up mine, I made 7.
