I appreciate you helping! You're so very sweet ^_^ My drawing was probably just too confusing LOL. And I hope so too! The only way for me to learn the knife one is to keep using it while serving customers and that's just too embarrassing... I don't drink wine so I can't practice at home lol.
For funzies you could always host a wine party (you could serve others even if you don't drink yourself), or see if a friend wants the party at their place and you could be the wine server. Also! At a restaurant I bank they have wine training every month or so, where a wine seller comes by to show and let them practice opening wine bottles and having small taste tests so they can better describe the flavors of the wine to their customers. I betcha if you got cozy with the other restaurants in the area they'd let you go, too. At least in my experience, restaurant folks have always been happy to let me join them in these kind of things (maybe because I help them get their finances in order? idk)
If you live in the Colorado/Denver area, let me know in a PM. I'll help get you hooked up with something to practice. Or I can help you find a place to purchase your fancy opener.
