This is the best wine opener I have ever used. My friends use these gimmick battery powered openers, and I bought this just to give to them if it was good. It is excellent, and feels sturdy and makes a clean entrance into the cork. Great product. Already ordered another !!

What a treat. No hassle. I have arthritic hands … and it was a breeze to de-cork.

I have to give this product a 5 star on quality. The research and development department has thoroughly thought and design this wine cork tool correctly. It is very durable and size ,grip and ease of opening is A+!!!

The wine bottle opener was basic, functional and easy to use. The wine stopper worked great with a standard 750 mL bottle. I was able to leave it sideways in the fridge for a week with no spills or leakage! I still haven’t figured out if and how the vaccine works on the stopper. But I’m happy with this very useful duo.

El material es de calidad y muy bonito. Me ha funcionado muy bien , lo volvería a pedir.

This corkscrew seems much sturdier than a previously owned similar corkscrew that had wings weaker than a cork or a glass bottle. The writeup claims this is a new improved version, and appears to be so. My reasons for four instead of five stars has to do with the blah, and lack of cultural adventuresomeness of the basic design of the corkscrew. you insert the point, and screw it to the right (clockwise). Why not to the left, just for fun? Lefsies are ignored. The leveraged wings are convenient but inelegant and not stylish – reminds me of the stale wing doors of the ancient DeLorian. Try that at a Walmart parking lot. One would expect a modern, elegant, exciting insertion, screw, cork pop, and dignified cork retrieval from a well designed corkscrew.

I purchased this as a gift for a friend that had problems with wine corks being broken and left inside the bottle. The intention was to have this longer tapered screw extend all the way beyond the bottom of the cork to pull out the entire cork without leaving pieces inside the bottle.

One detail that is missing from the instructions is the secret to how a wine cork remover must be used to insure success. The tapered screw must be twisted many turns, which will raise the two lever arms directly upwards away from the bottle. It is critical that you keep turning the screw and remove the metal or paper seal that is on the outside of the bottle before you stop turning. By looking at the bottom of the cork inside the bottle, you can watch the end of the tapered screw appear as it is turned deep inside the cork, beyond the bottom of the cork.

Once you have visual verification that the screw is all the way in, notice the appearance of the TOP of the screw outside the cork. You will see that it appears to have been turned very far, potentially damaged the outer surface of the cork. That is a GOOD sign that you used enough rotations of the screw to correctly engage the entire cork. Never skip these steps before you proceed to remove the cork.

When the screw is in the correct position, the two levers are all the way up. It may take some force to push them down, so put the wine bottle in a SINK, not a countertop. This lowers the bottle for easier access and gives you a safe place to put the cork remover after you open the bottle. Using a controlled force with both hands, move both levers down carefully to make sure that you do not deflect the tapered screw in a way that is misaligned with the neck of the bottle.

As the cork is removed, the last part may be fragile from contact with the wine. In addition, the entire cork remover becomes less stable, and free to pivot if you are not careful. This last motion can still damage a cork and create fragments, so just be careful and precise to gently pivot the levers all the way down and then if necessary use a twisting motion to ease the last part of the cork out of the bottle.

This method has never failed to remove hundreds of corks from bottles made all over the world without wrecking the cork. Try it and you will never have a broken cork problem again.
