Kitchen & Housewares : Screwpull By Le Creuset Corkscrew, Satin Silver
Rating: 
- Simply perfect
My stock wedding present at the moment.
Is satisfying and easy to open wine and a dream if you ever need to open a case or two for a party.
Enjoy,
Richard
Rating: - Effective and substantial
Here's a little history - years ago I used a shelf mounted Rapid corkscrew at my work opening perhaps 200 bottles of wine in a night for functions and it was brilliant but too expensive for home use.
A few years ago some cheap copies became available and I bought one. It certainly wasn't up to the mark - almost working just isn't good enough.
I had a good one titled "the ultimate corkscrew" but it developed faults as did the (foc) replacement and, embarassingly, the one I gave a friend.
I have wanted a Screwpull lever model for some time but was put off by all the flappy bottle grips and stand business. Enter the LM400.
Fast forward to now - Admittedly I haven't used it much (yet) but:
1. It works well and the lever is long enough to balance the effort
2. It is substantially uilt so I expect it to go on working for some time, though you don't get an idea of the scale of it from the pictures - it's heavy in your hand!
3. It is designed to handle plastic corks
4. I feel confident replacement spirals and so on will be available for some time and they are easily replaceable.
It is well put together with nice use of materials such as a firm rubbery polymer to grip the bottle.
btw my second choice would be the pocket version of the (trilogy) single spiral simple screwpull and my (long suffering) wife would chooose a simple waiters friend - both of which fit in the cutlery drawer (and before the airlines got so picky in a washbag).
I love it and wish I'd designed it.
Update - I've used it a lot over the past months and it continues to give good service. I do expect it to last years. NB I note the price reduction has gone.
Rating: - Beware of less expensive copies
Guaranteed to be a success as it is guaranteed for 10 years!
Simply `THE BEST' from `Le Creuset/Screwpull', this super stainless steel corkscrew. Makes light work of removing even the most stubborn of those wine bottle corks - cork or plastic - with a simple up and over action!
Complete with a foil cutter and full instruction/care leaflet and presented in a deluxe box this really is the best gift for the serious entertainer in your life!
