Customer Reviews

The World's Best Corkscrew
I received this corkscrew in green about 15 years ago, and it has not given us one bit of trouble in all that time. It is the most amazing device -- flawlessly designed and excellent at extracting corks. It's lightweight (won't chip a counter or tile floor if it falls) and streamlined to take up very little space in a kitchen drawer. After 15 years, and many bottles of wine, a crack has finally made it become wobbly (but still working). I came on the website today, to get a new one, in anticipation of its eventual demise. I couldn't bear the thought of opening wine without it. Buy this corkscrew -- its a wonderful gadget.

AMAZING !!!
My six month up date is actually 13 months. This little beauty is still pulling. All kinds of corks from all over the world , including the plastic type, just keep gliding out with very little effort. Italian Pinot Grigo have the densest corks and are very difficult to pull with any other corkscrew. Not a problem for this one, its just another cork. As for my "flimsy plastic" comment below, this hasn't shown any wear at all. Really amazing when you see the lack of quality in manufacturing today. TEN STARS
PS They have a 4 for $ of 3 offer {May 08} so I've ordered extra for gifts.

The box arrived, my new 5 star cork puller....YES!! OH NO!! This light weight piece of flimsy plastic won't survive the first cork. What happened, the reviews are always dead on. Don't let its looks fool you. Not only does it hold up, you'll use more muscle opening a screw cap. Gently turn the handle and the cork glides out so smoothly you don't know its out unless you hear the pop. Turn the handle back and the screw glides out of the cork. I've opened more than 16 bottles and it has not damaged or shredded one cork. No more floating bits in the wine and the cork is still usable.
Over the years I've owned and thrown a dozen or more corkscrews, cork pullers, wine openers; by what ever name; and this is the very best by far. I'll up date this in 6 months.

If you can't open a bottle of wine with this corkscrew, you shouldn't be drinking.
This is by far the simplest method of extracting a cork from a bottle. I gave one
to an elder relative who is proud of his complete lack of any physical skills. He
loved it. All you do is turn a crank in one direction.
That one clockwise motion extracts the cork, ruptures the capsule and then
removes the cork from the worm. The device itself is as well-made as any plastic
thing can be. The worm is coated for easy in-out. The Screwpull is bulky: a handi-
cap in a pocket, but no problem in a drawer. There is a full discussion of its '
a tiny treatise on cork-removal and a clearer illustration at the Amazon page for
The New Short Course in Wine.
In a few years, corks will be a rarity but in the meantime, Screwpull is the easiest
device for cork-pulling.
