Best Wine Opener Out There
I have tried dozens of different corkscrews and this is it. So simple and easy to use I think we are drinking more wine since we got it. Now my wife wants to open the wine bottles when we have guest to to show it off and how easy it is verse those other contraptions....recomend to all you wine drinkers.
Excellent quality, and very dependable...
I purchased this uncorking device after the one I had broke down, and have been extremely pleased with it. Only one thing happened, that wasn't positive, and that had to do with the small, cutting device, that you use to cut the lead covering away that protects the cork. Like pretty much all of these devices, this is usually the one weak spot in the whole show. The manufacturer uses tiny rivets (four of them) to hold the blades in place and, once again, one or two of them keep dropping out. This time, I took it out to my "man cave," in my back yard (it's a small workshop I have out there), and installed four brass, self-tapping screws to hold the blades in place, and it is a permanent fix. All I had to do was take a drill, and open the hole up just a tiny bit, about the thickness of a sheet of paper. Then, I used the brass screws to secure the blade back into place. If I do say so myself, it looks quite professionally done and, as I've said, it is a permanent fix. As...
For new corks only
The screw is thin, smooth (coated?), and very sharp. It works great with "young" corks. With simulated corks, the screw goes in just fine, and comes out just as easily - but the cork doesn't budge. With old corks that happens, or only half the cork comes out. So this is only useful for new corks in good condition.
