The thread and extraction tool are attached to a first shaft, connected to the intermediate portion of the main body, for foldable connection of the thread and extraction tool relative to the main body. The lever is attached to a second shaft, connected to the second end of the main body, for foldable connection of the lever relative to the main body. The extraction tool, sized to fit within a bottle neck, has a proximal end attached to the first shaft and a distal end having a cup for containment of a cork and cork pieces.
