Use of Port Tongs

[Eric Menchen]

Average? Three or so. Need to work that up. Bought some more 1960 & 1970 recently, so that should help.

[Moses Botbol]

On average, how many times per year do you typically use a Port tongs?

once or twice at best. haven't had an opportunity to use them since there's no one around to drink port...

[John M.]

4-6 times....whenever I have an older bottle or think the cork will be an issue....love seeing an old cork intact so this facilitates that too. (Wish I had a Durand)

[Peter W. Meek]

Average? Zero; in fact, I have never used either of my port tongs.

[Andy Velebil]

I used to use them quite a bit. But the Durand has largely replaced the need and it's been over a year since the last time I've* tong'd a bottle.


* disclaimer, I've been present with others this year where we used tongs. But I've not used them by myself at home during the said time.

And you didn't inhale, either?
