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

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

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)

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

And you didn't inhale, either?

Interesting use of the term *disclaimer.
