Great while it works September 25, 2007 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
When I received the Pinzon Penguin, I would have given it 5 stars for its design and ease of use. Unfortunately, we opened a couple of bottles of wine and then it jammed. Amazon replaced it for me quickly and with little hassle. The next one was great.... we opened probably a dozen bottles of wine before it jammed. We had been very careful and gentle with it, since the first one had jammed. After the second one broke, I gave up and bought one at Costco for $[...] that is superior in every way. Works as well or better, much sturdier, and has opened more bottles of wine than both the Penguins we owned combined.
A great wine opener at an affordable price September 6, 2007 I bought this set as a gift for a couple of people and also received one as a gift. I am so happy with this wine opener, more folks will likely get this as a gift from me this holiday season. It's affordable, stores easily, and also stands nicely on the counter as shown in the photo.
Very pleased August 12, 2007 Bought 2 of these for gifts and was very pleased with the results. Very easy to operate. Very easy to remove cork. Nice design too. Both recipients seem happy with them.
Easy to Use! July 19, 2007 This Pinzon Penguin corkscrew set is one of the most intuitive and easy-to-use designs I've ever come across. I liked it so much that I've purchased several others as gifts for friends. People are always impressed at how well it works.
It is decently made, looks great, and after 7 months of regular use, it is still going strong. The foil cutter accessory also works very well.
Amazon pricing for this item has its seasonal ups and downs, but if you are patient you can get a great corkscrew for a very reasonable price.
