Death of the corkscrew? Only 27% of young people in UK own one, report says

"Only 27% of 18- to 24-year-olds own a corkscrew compared to 81% of those over 65, reflecting a generational divide in kitchen essentials."

"NHS data shows that in 2011, 18% of 16-24-year-olds had not had a drink in the previous 12 months; a decade later, the figure rose to 28%."

"The report suggests that Gen Z and millennials are increasingly disinterested in wine, contributing to the decline of the corkscrew's relevance in modern kitchens."

"As screw-top bottles and canned wines grow in popularity, many young people are simply unaware of, and therefore uninterested in, using a corkscrew."
