Our bestsellernow better than ever! Enhancements to our regal replica of an antique corkscrew promise years of effort-free openings. A smooth-gliding, Teflon-coated worm removes corks (natural and synthetic) with a simple pull of the handle. Inner workings and grapevine-relief casing made of…

Pros

  • Easy To Use

Cons

Best Uses

  • At The Bar

I purchased the Corkscrew without the stand. It fits perfectly on our granite bar, does not move around when in use, and is certainly pleasing to the eye.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I find this most helpful when entertaining. Whether several bottles need to be opened at one time or I simply want to move quickly from opening to paying attention to my guests, this corkscrew allows me to make quick work of opening my wine bottles. Rarely do I have a problem with corks. The exception would be aged wine (10+ years) and sparkling (yeah, I should have known better). The downside to these mounted openers is durability. This is my third one. They seem to only last a year or two (estimating 200 to 300 bottles opened over the lifespan). However,I did not hesitate to replace each time. This is an attractive unit so I decided to buy the cheaper model as repairing my old one just wasn't cost effective.

Owned the "Estate" version for over 15 years, before wearing it out. Purchased this one because of finish--wanted something different. The stand is a must. Great product and fool proof.

Decorative, but does not perform well.

 
1.0

Pros

  • Looks Nice

Cons

  • Gears appear jammed
  • Forget synthetic corks
  • Won't work at all

Best Uses

  • Decoration

Purchased the product in late March and have used it regularly until this past weekend, May 1st. The gear movement is jammed and will not open a bottle. Frustrating given the cost. I will not purchase another one like this. Too bad, as it looks nice on the counter.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
