Questions To Be Answered:
- Who invented the first corkscrew and where?
- What came first: the corkscrew or the cork?
- Are corkscrews still a necessary household item to have today?
- To open a bottle of wine swiftly, does it depend more on the corkscrew or the users efficiency of using it?
I researched my topic with key words that lead to the important facts I was looking for such as dates and regions that I needed to be reliable. From there I typed questions in on the Google search engine that led to sites where authors and bloggers wrote about their knowledge on the corkscrew. These sites discussed similar points, some word for word, that led me to have concrete evidence and facts on the design as well as function on the corkscrew.

Researching information on the importance of the corkscrews leads to the other main factor involved with this topic; the wine bottle. Wine has been a part of society for decades whether for pleasure or entertaining. This topic addresses other materials involved with wine besides the corkscrew; the wine glass, the wine rack, the ideal cork, wine coolers, wine accessories, etc., that invented a whole new department for products. This could lead to an assignment that asks the question: why are products intra-dependent?
