Claim 0:
1. An opener for removing a cylindrical cork from a bottle comprising: a single semi-cylindrical pipe section and a handle,
wherein an opening of said semi-cylindrical pipe section is defined by an arc angle between 65° and 190°, a central axis, and a continuous interior wall upon which at least one thread is disposed; wherein said handle includes a longitudinal axis, comprises a proximal and a distal end, and wherein said distal end of the handle is linked to the semi-cylindrical pipe section by a pair of hinged joints which enables the opener to operate between an open position and a closed position;
said open position defined as the central axis of the semi-cylindrical pipe section being generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle and such that the opening of the semi-cylindrical pipe section is opposite the distal end of the handle, and said closed position defined as the central axis of the semi-cylindrical pipe section being generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle.
