Amazon.com Review
This mechanical corkscrew not only looks impressive but also amazes guests as it pulls a cork in just 3 seconds and then releases it even more quickly. This heavy piece of machinery is made of a durable zinc alloy and reinforced with nylon, making it sturdy as well as attractive. Although the Connoisseur looks complex, it is actually very easy to operate. You simply extend the ergonomically designed top lever down until the worm screw is lifted all the way up into the mechanism. Next you position the rubber-padded grip handles around the neck of your wine bottle and bring the top lever all the way back up again to puncture the cork with the worm screw. Lift the lever back down again and the cork is loosened; one additional tug on the grips is all it takes to completely remove the cork from the wine bottle. To release the cork from the screw, simply hold it between the grip handles and perform one last up-and-down motion with the lever. The hardened steel screw is coated with a nonstick surface for easier release of corks (although it does not work with synthetic corks) and an extra screw is included for backup. This set also includes a separate foil cutter for prepping wine bottles for opening. --Cristina Vaamonde

Connoisseur Corkscrew Doesn't Work Well February 4, 2005
4 out of 9 found this review helpful
My daughter bought me the Connoisseur Corkscrew as a gift last year and it never worked properly. I didn't want to tell her because it would cause her trouble to return it, etc., but as it sits in my drawer and takes up space, and I don't use it, I decided maybe I should contact the manufacturer and get another one that works!
Can you help me? Thank you.
