This corkscrew works well AND it is inexpensive. The longer pull makes it a good choice for wines with particularly long corks or for those who are "challenged" in using waiter-style corkscrews.
as a wine consultant/educator I open 12-20 cases of wine a week.It is the only tool used in my 5
case,80 person weekly class.Other types passed over by all attendees.Haven't found an equal at
any price point.
This is without a doubt the absolute best wine bottle openere I have ever used! It is the most perfect opener of all the ones I have used, and I have used a lot!!! I would recommend this to ANYONE!!!
Here's the deal:This corkscrew is the absolute best you can buy for the money, hands down, especially if you work on the floor for service in a busy, fine dining restaurant environment. That's not to say you can only use it in that environment, but this is the best one for that. It's quite effective, stylish, strong, ergonomic and made of durable materials. It rarely, if ever breaks the cork, due to its double-hinged design and truthfully, if a cork does break while opening wine, it's generally the fault of the operator rather than the corkscrew itself. [...] I'm a professional sommelier (Advanced level though the Court of Master Sommeliers) and I find it quite amusing whenever I see professionals with [$] Lagiole corkscrews thinking that somehow it makes them better wine stewards because they have one. Purchase a "pulltap" brand, and use the money saved on a wine book, you'll be glad you did.
I ditched my Rabbit corkscrew for this one. It's a great price and easy to use. I suddenly prefer my waiter-style corkscrews to the "techy-looking" rabbits and screwpulls. Long live corks! I love the ceremony of uncorking a bottle of wine.
sometimes simple is better. gave one to my neighbor as well.she loves it.
