For The Love Of Port

Found it online. Pricier but should help with the older longer corks.

Randy, it is pricy, but it's so much easier to get corks out now. I had my kids buy it for me for a Christmas present this year. It's great!

Some of us online here got into a group buy to make and purchase that longer version a while back. It is interesting to me to see that they now are selling it to the public. Maybe they made more than they sold to us and are getting rid of them, or they decided it was a viable product and made more.

If you are happy with the short version and a sci-fi fan: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266546950443
I see there are some other knock-offs available at Amazon.

They did a limited run of the new Port version of the Durand in 2023. I did a bulk order on TPF for the UK folk, and have been very pleased with them. I don't know whether the ones currently for sale are part of the same batch, or further manufacture based on sales.

I think these were from the 2023 batch and sold in the US by VinGrotto.

That's where my kids got the Port Version Durand from for Xmas 2024 (I gave them the link, lol).
