I am looking for one of those pump up corkscrews for wine. All my links have led to corkscrews that have a gas cylinder that squirts compressed gas into the bottle. These corkscrews are $80 here and the replacement cylinders are $28. This is not what I want.

Is there anyone who is able to help me? Please.

I am an avid corkscrew collector and have several in my collection. What you want is the "Corky" cork extractor, (try googling it). They are still made today, in Switzerland I think, and should be available in stores.

There is a steel needle under the conical cover. Simply pierce the cork and pump. The air pressure will pop out the cork.
