Re: Use of Port Tongs
Average? Three or so. Need to work that up. Bought some more 1960 & 1970 recently, so that should help.

Re: Use of Port Tongs
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)
Any Port in a storm!

Re: Use of Port Tongs
Average? Zero; in fact, I have never used either of my port tongs.

Re: Use of Port Tongs
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.

Interesting use of the term *disclaimer.
