Yes, most of us say we are fine with Top 40 pop and Stephen King novels. But life is short and one should always be broadening ones horizons. Discovery of the finer things in life is definitely worth the journey.
I assume that the author is a man, if so, he is obviously lacking in some of the manly skills. No serious woman will be impressed with a man who drinks fruity screw-top wine. There are many ways of cleanly opening a wine bottle without a corkscrew. A screw and a hammer. A common house/car key. Even a wire coat hanger.
But it's been a while since I had to resort to those methods. At both my home and in my luggage for when I travel, I have one of these double-hinged corkscrews that once mastered, will open even the most stubborn corks with ease. It also has a nice bottle opener on it for when I switch to beer.
