 Easiest to Use June 11, 2005
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
As a server in an Italian restaurant, I have to open a plethora of wine bottles in front of customers. Based on experience with many different corkscrews, this is by far the easiest to use. It is one of the fastest and smoothest of any corkscrew I have experienced. I have, however, seen it other places for much cheaper than here.

I dont honestly know where I first found mine, but I fell in love with it immediately. You never have to struggle with the cork. My parents recently discovered a love for wine and as a gift I was going to get them one of these. Well to my suprise, there is not a single shop in a 100 mile radius that carries this. Everyone still uses the one step approach or worse yet, the auger approach. Five stars all the way.

This is the best, easiest waiter's corkscrew I've ever used. My only qualm is that I've seen it offered for much cheaper than $19.99.

This is the opener I give friends who are serious about wine. No frills, just the easiest to use and always the first one I reach for. I have a collection of new and antique corkscrews-cheap to expensive and this is my functional favorite. Others may be a work of art (Laguiole, for instance), but this one works best.
The articulated arm for the bottle neck does it in 2 easy steps. I learned quite a few waiters here and Europe rely on this model as opposed to the single step arm on all other waiter's corkscrew designs. In fact, the first time I found one of these was in a wine shop in Toulouse, France. Imagine my surprise to find it was made in U.S.A!
I have found no can opener-I suspect they mean the foil cutter blade which is small and serrated. It works well, too.
There seem to be two versions-the cast alloy painted body and the much cheaper, but equally as effective stamped steel version.
Save your money for the wine! Get one of these asap!
Either way, you probably will also put your others aside for this little gem.
