Corkscrew pop art print

                  
 

                  
A corkscrew is a tool for
                  drawing corks from wine bottles.

                  
In its traditional form,
                  a corkscrew simply consists of a pointed metallic helix (often
                  called the "worm") attached to a handle,

                  
which the user screws into
                  the cork and pulls to extract it.

                  
Corkscrews are necessary
                  because corks themselves, being small and smooth, are difficult
                  to grip and remove,

                  
particularly when inserted
                  fully into an inflexible glass bottle. More recent styles of
                  corkscrew incorporate various systems of levers

                  
that further increase the
                  amount of force that can be applied outwards upon the cork, making
                  easier the extraction of difficult corks.
