My Dad had one of those as well.

I was confused, I guess, because this is a foil

You could poke a cork into a wine bottle with it.

That would be very hazardous. They are very springy, so I think there is about a 50% chance you will launch the bottle across the room.You could poke a cork into a wine bottle with it.
(I once had a bottle of Californian bubbly that was covered with "Read warning label before opening" stickers. The warning label, if I may paraphrase said "Don't point this in someone's face when opening, you utter moron")

Whoaaah! Elfin safety moment. Anyone else remember the pump corkscrew with a CO2 cartridge? And anyone remember the public safety warnings about not using them to open Mateus Rose?
That was to protect innocent members of the public from having to drink Mateus Rose, obvs.
