Oster 4207 Electric Wine Opener

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Corkscrews and Openers
from: Oster

March 17, 2006
This wine opener is extremely easy to use. It looks ok to set out on the counter all the time, so it's convenient and much harder to lose than regular wine openers! Sometimes doesn't work on plastic corks, but that doesn't detract from the usefulness. I highly recommend it!

Metrokane Rabbit Wine Opener Gift Set, Silver

from: Metrokane


Makes opening wine very easy. Never fails to be asked: Where did you get that? Everyone that doesn't have an opener like this wants one. Seriously.

Very easy to use, and doesn't break the cork. Maybe I've bought my last corkscrew for myself. Definately a great gift idea.

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew, Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Corkscrews and Openers
from: Metrokane


I'd give zero stars if it was an option. Don't waste your time on this company.

My first Rabbit had a plastic handle. When it broke after several years of use, I replaced it with a metal handle Rabbit because it had 10-year warrantee. (I think the first one had a 2-year warrantee.)

The new Rabbit malfunctioned. A mission-critical piece of rubber tore, making the Rabbit useless. I sent the Rabbit to Metrokane per the package instructions. (I paid the postage and also had to enclose a check to cover *their* mailing costs.)

A week or so later, my Rabbit was returned to me without any repairs. Their note said that they couldn't find anything wrong with the thing. I phoned Metrokane to complain. ... Read More:

Screwpull Pocket Model Corkscrew, Black

from: Screwpull


I absoulutely love this wine bottle opener! I own several other types of openers and I always reach for this one! (Even over the Rabbit, which I've had a couple of those break on me!) It is easy to use, great size for traveling and very affordable.

Cork Pops Legacy Wine Bottle Opener

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Corkscrews and Openers
from: Other


I've owned one fo these for years and I'm still on the first cartridge. I've yet to insert the refill cartridge even though I have opened countless bottles of wine. The package says that each cartridge opens 50 bottles. I think I'm beyond that. This is better than a rabbit opener (I have one of those as well). My suggestion is to ease the cork out AS SOON as you depress the cartrdige. When done in one swift motion the cork comes out super fast and without effort. These make fabulous gifts. The refills are avaiable at wine shops also.

Screwpull Patented 4 Wheel Foil Cutter - Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Corkscrews and Openers
from: Screwpull


Prior to picking up the Screwpull cutter, I always used a serrated-edge foil cutter in a lever-type corkscrew. Those work well, but aren't very fast and you can cut yourself, either on the blade or the foil. The cutting wheels in the Screwpull cutter work quickly and well on all but the heaviest foils (hence the 4 stars). Squeeze firmly, twirl, and lift - off comes a perfect little foil cap.

In addition to this little gem, I recommend Screwpull's pocket model corkscrew: Screwpull Pocket Model Corkscrew, Black

MIU Connoisseur Corkscrew

from: MIU France


This was a wonderful tool for about a year, and I was thrilled that it was so much cheaper than the name brands, but then some part of the internal mechanism broke so now I've just got a neat foil cutter.

Screwpull Table Model Corkscrew, Black

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Corkscrews and Openers
from: Screwpull


CORKSCREWS MAY COME AND GO, BUT THIS REMAINS THE BEST FOR OVERALL EASE OF USE AND RELIABILITY.
IT'S A LOT OF TWISTING, BUT MUCH EASIER TO OPERATE THAN THE LEVER TYPES (RABBIT) BECAUSE IT DOES NOT REQUIRE STRENGTH.
