A hinge member is rotatably fixed at the first body end for turning about an axis, and a corkscrew is connected to the hinge member. The corkscrew is pivotable about the axis between a retracted position lying in the gap and an extended position for pulling a cork out from a bottle mouth upon the body being turned about the hinge member while bearing slidingly against the bottle mouth at a position sliding from its first end to its second end.
