The Durand is a specialized wine tool manufacturer that produces professional-grade corkscrews designed specifically for opening older and delicate wine bottles. Rather than being a wine producer, The Durand creates precision instruments used by sommeliers, collectors, and wine professionals to safely extract fragile or compromised corks without pushing cork material into the wine.

The Durand corkscrew employs a two-part extraction system that combines the functionality of a traditional corkscrew with additional support mechanisms. This dual-action approach allows users to remove corks that might crumble or break when using conventional corkscrews, making it particularly valuable for accessing vintage wines where cork integrity may be compromised due to age or storage conditions.
