Debates over wine openers tend to hinge (ha) on one main comparison: the classic double-hinged corkscrew, often simply referred to as a wine key or a waiter’s corkscrew, versus, well, everything else. The simple wine key is considered the superior tool by most sommeliers, preferable to a “butterfly” or winged corkscrew (the kind with two arms) or quick-fix gadgets like the Rabbit. But for the wine drinkers who are opening bottles with a bit of age on them, there is an additional opener worth having when the near-infallible wine key wont cut it: an ah-so.

March 13, 2014Wine clubs are, of course, not the only alternative revenue stream for publishers there’s affiliate revenue, software as a service, build-your-own cookbooks, podcasts, events, spinoffs, money management, the list goes on but despite the wide range of potential revenue sources made possible by digital distribution, wine clubs have endured. Still, the opening fo these clubs initially created by a lack of general knowledge and access has been narrowing in recent years. Many of today’s avid wine consumers are less interested in being told what to drink or what’s the best and are more inclined to learn how to choose for themselves.
