DER NOLD

Open the unopenable.

For the oldest, most precious bottles — vintage Port, decades-old Bordeaux — the cork is often too fragile to extract and the wax seal too stubborn to break cleanly. DER NOLD solves this the way sommeliers have for centuries, refined into one precision Swiss instrument.

The Fracture Protocol

1. Score — Mark the bottle neck cleanly with the included scoring tool.
2. Heat — Trace the scored line evenly with DER NOLD's gas flame ring until the glass is primed.
3. Shock — Touch a cold, damp towel to the line. The thermal shock fractures the glass along your score in one clean break.

The result: a perfect, smooth-rimmed decant with the cork and sediment left entirely undisturbed.

Why DER NOLD

• A clean fracture, every time — controlled, even heat for a predictable break
• Safer and more refined than improvised port tongs
• Swiss craftsmanship — brass and steel, built to last a lifetime
• For the collector who refuses to compromise a vintage
