Made in Novato, California since 1961.

The opener that started it all. A needle slides past the cork, a breath of food-safe inert gas lifts it out whole, and the bottle is open in seconds. No screw, no lever, no twisting — and no effect on the wine's flavour or aroma.

Available in eleven colours, including the 250th Anniversary red, white and blue marking America's semiquincentennial.

What makes the Original different

  • One motion. Insert the needle, press once, the cork comes out.
  • Patented cork ejector resets it for the next bottle.
  • Fits most bottles, including traditional and flanged-lip.
  • Kind to hands. No grip strength or twisting required.
  • Light enough to travel — it lives happily in a picnic basket.

About the cartridges

Each opener arrives with one cartridge, good for roughly 60–80 bottles. Refills are sold separately and fit every Cork Pops opener ever made.

How it works

Pressure—not brute force.

A needle through the cork, one press, and a puff of inert gas lifts it out whole — the same mechanism the family patented and has been building in California ever since.

Pierce
01

Pierce

Use the built-in foil cutter, then guide the needle straight down through the center of the cork.

Press
02

Press

One press releases the gas beneath the cork.

Pop

The pressure lifts the cork cleanly and intact—no twisting, pulling or crumbling.

A family business that still makes the thing it invented.
Est. 1961

A family business that still makes the thing it invented.

It started in a workshop in 1961. Three generations later the family still holds the patent, still runs the line in Novato, California, and still packs the cartridges that go in the box.

That is why the refills never disappear, why an opener bought years ago still takes a standard cartridge, and why the thing feels like it was made by someone who cared.
