Well, sweetheart, a corkscrew is indeed a simple machine. It falls under the category of a lever, specifically a type called a screw. So next time you're uncorking that bottle of wine, just remember you're using a simple machine to get the job done. Cheers!
A corkscrew is a type of screw, which is a simple machine. When the corkscrew is turned into a cork, it creates a mechanical advantage that helps to pull the cork out of the bottle more easily.
A compound machine is a machine that consists of more than one simple machine. Some compound machines consist of just two simple machines. You can read below about two examples—the wheelbarrow and corkscrew. Other compound machines, such as bicycles, consist of many simple machines.

The corkscrew, functions in the manner of the simple machine called a screw. In this specific case, force is applied to the end of the corkscrew through the torsion, or twisting, of the screw. This permits the corkscrew to penetrate into a material, usually cork. Thanks to the helical design of the corkscrew, this then allows for tension to be placed on the corkscrew, in order to retract the cork in its entirety from the neck of a bottle.
a step stool is an inclined plane because it is slanted and it goes higher dont get it confused by a wedge because a wedge is much smaller and doesnt look like this
An airplane is not a simple machine. A lever is a simple machine. A wheel is a simple machine. Any machine that can be described by a mathematical formula is a simple machine.
A pulley isn't a kind of simple machine, it is a simple machine

Its a simple machine which can crush any complex machine
In terms of appearances, to some extend in terms of manufacture, and in terms of mechanical complexity and ease-of-use, a corkscrew most certainly is a simple mechanism: a single part of wound wire, with a sharpened tip at one end and a handle at the other; mechanical devices do not get much simpler than that. However, if you were to analyse the forces within that corkscrew as it is wound into a cork, pulls the work out of the bottle, and is then wound out of the pulled cork, you'd probably find that the mathematics required to describe the physics of these seemingly simple processes, and the forces involved, to be astonishingly complex.
