"Today, in this segment of bar tools, I'm going to demonstrate or not demonstrate, but discuss your wine tool or your waiter's key. There's a lot of different names for it, there's a lot of different types. But it all has the same basic purpose. This is extremely important to have behind a bar or always have on you. There a lot of bottle, types of bottle openers, like I said, but this is going to be really, really handy because you have your bottle opener just like that and at the same time you're going to have your waiters corkscrew, like I discussed earlier. Now, another cool aspect of this is your foil cutter or knife that's always going to come in handy for a lot of different uses, but specifically to cut foil. When you're cutting foil on a wine bottle, you want to be really careful with it just because you don't want to cut yourself and the foil could be really sharp too and then afterwards, always remember to close it. When you're using this, when you're you know, opening a bottle of wine, you're just going to place it in the top of the cork and just slightly twist in to get use of your bearings, just as if you were screwing in a screw into a wall and then continue to screw down, like such, and it'll just automatically going to go down, and then you're going to want to place the hook on the side of the wine bottle and then just push up and then, there you go. You've opened your wine bottle."
