No matter which type of wine opener you choose, you should be able to pull out any kind of cork with it. However, the ease of this process can vary, depending on the type of opener you use. If you try and use a very basic corkscrew to pull out a tough, synthetic cork, you may have some issues. This is why it pays off to invest in a wine corkscrew or wine bottle opener. A strong electric wine opener like the Ozeri Nouveaux II Electric Wine Opener can also be used to easily and quickly remove corks without any manual effort required on the part of the user.
