A beverage opener is a device designed to open sealed containers or bottles. Beverage openers come in various designs and have been an essential tool in many households, bars, and restaurants worldwide.

History

The history of the beverage opener dates back to the 19th century when the first patented corkscrew was invented. As the production of bottled beverages increased, the need for an efficient tool to open these bottles led to the invention of various types of beverage openers.

Types of Beverage Openers

There are several types of beverage openers, each designed to open a specific type of bottle or can.

Bottle Opener

A bottle opener is a device that enables the removal of metal bottle caps from bottles. More generally, it might be thought to include corkscrews used to remove cork or plastic stoppers from wine bottles.

Can Opener

A can opener is a device used to open tin cans. Although preservation of food using tin cans had been practiced since at least 1772 in the Netherlands, the first can openers were not patented until 1855 in England and 1858 in the United States.

Corkscrew

A corkscrew is a tool for drawing corks from wine bottles and other household bottles that may be sealed with corks. In its traditional form, a corkscrew simply consists of a pointed metallic helix (often called the "worm") attached to a handle.
