The shaft depending from the lower end of the housing for griping and penetrating the cork longitudinally thereby presenting the air exhausting hole to the interior of the bottle. A pump configured to push for selectively pumping air from the housing through the shaft into the bottle between the cork and the contents of the bottle such that air in the bottle forces the cork out of the bottle in conjunction with force applied by pulling the T-shaped handle.
