The Durand® two part device to successfully remove older and fragile wine corks whole and intact.

The Durand is a broadly patented device that is exceptionally effective in removing compromised and fragile corks, whole and intact, from older, valued wines. The Durand has been repeatedly tested on the most challenging corks. It has performed consistently and flawlessly.

Using The Durand for older, fragile or compromised corks eliminates the unwanted outcomes of broken corks, corks pushed into bottles or corks partially removed leaving pieces floating in the wine. The Durand removes the cork whole and contained.

The Durand is named for Yves Durand, a world-renowned sommelier, and a personal friend and mentor.

The Durand is simple and easy to use…when used correctly. Please take a moment to look at the instructions diagram or the informative video on this page. Directions for use are also printed on the inside of the reusable wrapper that encases the cork presentation box of The Durand.
