A cork extractor includes a fulcrum element having two parallel side walls forming a channel therebetween with an open side and a closed side, the fulcrum element extending longitudinally at one end thereof to form a rim constructed and arranged to rest against a bottle neck. Each of the walls has a longitudinal slot formed therein between a first slot wall closer to the open side and substantially parallel to the side walls, and a second slot wall closer to the closed side, with a plurality of no more than three notches formed in the second slot wall distributed over the slot from a top end of the slot to a bottom end. These slots include a first notch at the slot end closer to the rim which includes a rounded bottom, and a second slot wall portion extended toward a mid-to upper-point of the first slot wall and a second notch having a rounded bottom. A lever having a pin at one end is freely slidable within the slot and which may be received in the notches to engage a selected one of the notches. A corkscrew wire is pivotally attached to the lever.
