A typical Waiter's Corkscrew has:
- A 2-Step Lever
- A Foil Cutter
- A spiral cork screw
2
Using the Foil Cutter, slice the foil around the stem of the bottle
3
Starting from the previous cut, slice up over the bottle. Remove and discard the foil from the top.
4
Position the Corkscrew in the centre of the cork and begin turning it into the cork.
5
Rotate the Corkscrew about six half turns, ensuring that there is one full spiral left above the cork; this is both to provide leverage and to prevent the Corkscrew from piercing the bottom of the cork.
6
Position the upper-most lever against the top of the bottle, and begin levering the cork out as far as you can. Switch to the bottom-most lever and continue to lever the cork out further.
7
Gently ease the rest of the cork out with your hand.

Enjoy your wine!
