Seems to work on synthetic corks to me January 12, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
It's certainly easy to use. The packaging claims that this corkscrew does not work on synthetic corks, but I had no trouble with it on the rubber corks found in Yellow Tail bottles, and that was on my first try. Of course, I've only used it a few times so far, so I can't say whether long term use on synthetic corks would degrade its performance--perhaps damage the nonstick coating on the worm? But certainly it seems to work for now. The stand is nice, too: in addition to holding the wine opener device itself, it has a depression that holds the foil cutter and a notch underneath that stores one of the spare worms. It would be nice if it could store both of the spare worms, but that's not a terribly large flaw.
BAD NEWS FOR SYNTHETIC CORKS December 12, 2005 19 out of 22 found this review helpful
I was disappointed to find out after I received the product that it does NOT work with synthetic corks. I wish I had known that before I purchased the product so I wouldn't have to pay a return shipping fee.
Best wine opener out there December 9, 2005 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I'ved used every wine opener there is, including the high priced rabbit, and none work as well as this one... foil cutter is simple & effective, opener has great leverage, and comes with extra worms.. great value, have recommended it and bought as present for others...
no more twisting!!! November 27, 2005 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
This is my first review of a product. I really don't bother spending the time to write about anything, but this is too wonderful not to. No more twisting. I can finally relax knowing I won't loose half the cork in the bottle. Get One!!!

A toast to my new wine opener! It opens wine bottles in seconds. Just lever the arm in one direction to remove the cork from the bottle and reverse the arm in the opposite direction to release the cork from the worm screw. I'd definitely recommend this product to others.
