About The Durand® – The History and Innovation Behind Flawless Cork Removal

The Durand® was invented by wine collector Mark Taylor, who encountered numerous challenges when opening older vintages from his cellar. Determined to find a solution, he developed a specialized tool that could handle even the most delicate corks with ease. In 2007, Taylor founded Wining Taylors, LLC, based in Atlanta, Georgia, to manufacture and market The Durand®. The device is named in honor of Yves Durand, a world-renowned sommelier and a personal friend and mentor to Taylor. Today, The Durand® is trusted by wine enthusiasts, collectors, and professional sommeliers worldwide

The Durand® has received widespread recognition in the wine community, earning praise from renowned sommeliers, collectors, and wine professionals. It has been featured in leading wine publications, international press, and online media, solidifying its reputation as the go-to tool for opening aged wines.

A Revolutionary Solution for Fragile Corks

The Durand® is a fully patented, two-part device designed to safely and effectively remove older, fragile, and compromised wine corks while avoiding breakage. Unlike traditional corkscrews that can cause delicate corks to crumble or fall into the bottle, The Durand® ensures a smooth, clean extraction—preserving both the wine and the cork.
