The Durand is a fully patented two-piece wine opener that allows you to successfully uncork older and fragile wine corks without breaking them. Durand was invented by wine connoisseur Mark Taylor who had experienced difficulties with brittle corks when opening older and fine wines. He founded Wining Taylors LLC based in Atlanta Georgia USA to manufacture and market Durand in 2007. Durand is named after Yves Durand a world-renowned sommelier.

Durand removes the cork whole and intact. Many wine lovers collectors nationally and internationally renowned sommeliers use Durand today as their primary wine opener.
