Rogar Auger Kit for Vintner, Estate & Champion Wine Openers

This auger kit includes an auger and guide slug for Rogar's Vintner, Estate and Champion Wine Openers.

The guide slug is the white nylon piece that you can see when you look up into the wine opener. It is the most common replacement part. If this piece is cracked, the opener cannot uncork a bottle. This can happen if the wine opener encounters a really hard cork or sometimes a synthetic cork. Because the part is cast and then fused together, unusual pressure can cause it to crack. It is easy to replace. A wine opener can open thousands of bottles without encountering this problem, or in rare cases only a few bottles.

The auger is also known as the screw, corkscrew, worm or spiral. It is another part that may need to be replaced at some time. Again, the cause can be a hard or synthetic cork that can bend or snap the auger. This is also an easy to repair at home part.

Rogar has been the premiere name in speed wine openers since its introduction of the solid brass Vintner in 1975.
