Product Description

From the Manufacturer Pinzon is proud to present the Penguin Wine Opener--a reliable and easy-to-use wine opener. Simply follow these easy instructions to use the foil cutter, wine opener, and stopper, and you'll be opening bottles in no time. To use the Pinzon Penguin Foil Cutter: * Position the circular foil cutter over the top of the bottle. * Press the sides of the cutter in lightly and twist a couple of times around the bottle. * The foil top neatly removes to expose the cork. To Use the Pinzon Penguin Wine Opener: 1. The sleek Penguin is designed to effortlessly remove a wine bottle cork. 2. Raise the lever and clamp the Penguin down over the neck of the bottle. 3. Grasp the rubberized inserts securely with one hand to hold the bottle steady. 4. Use the other hand to lower and then raise the lever in one smooth motion. (Although you cant see it, the corkscrew enters and pulls out the cork.) 5. With the lever up, lift the Penguin off the bottle. The cork will be inside the Penguin. 6. Lower and raise the lever again, and voilà! The cork slides off the corkscrew. Note: The Penguin can be used to open wines bottled with regular corks, but careful use is advised when opening bottles with synthetic corks. To Use the Pinzon Penguin Stopper: * The stopper preserves for days on end the bouquet and flavor of a partially consumed bottle of wine. * Plastic ridges on the stopper collar help provide an airtight seal. To Replace a Cork Screw on the Pinzon Penguin Opener: * Raise the lever and find the largest of three Philips screws in the body of the Penguin. * Unscrew the largest Philips screw to release the cork screw. * Pull out the Penguin screw and insert the replacement into underneath the lever. Then, re-insert and screw in the Philips screw where it was removed from. Cleaning Instructions: * Wipe clean with a damp towel and let air dry. Do not put into dishwasher.

Amazon.com Product Description
A great gift for wine lovers, this Pinzon gift set includes a wine opener, foil cutter, vacuum pump, and stopper. The powerful cork puller effortlessly extracts the cork from any wine bottle with simple lever action. Simply lift the rubber-finished lever up, clamp on the bottle's neck with the Penguin's side grips, push down the lever to drive the corkscrew into the cork, and raise the lever to pull the cork out cleanly. Releasing the cork from the screw involves the same action. For strength and longevity, the opener is constructed of stainless steel with black plastic accents. Accompanying the cork puller is a foil cutter that strips away the foil covering a cork, and an extra screw that can be installed with a screwdriver. The opener also comes with a stopper that tightly seals your leftover wine in the bottle. All pieces in this set should be hand washed and are imported.

Customer Reviews

Oh why didn't I get one for me?
I ordered this for my Newly wed daughter whose cork screw opener had broken.

Yesterday I had the pleasure and rare opportuiny to spend time with my first born. I love my son in law and I am sure he loves me but they are still on their Honeymoon.
Me? I am just going stay on the side lines and await the results!

Now back to this marvelous tool. I wanted wine with dinner and she whips this out. It is the first time I had ever seen it. She started rave about the wonderful little Item I had added to her Christmas list. Her friends were all impressed with this little gadget and wanted one too. I picked it up and followed the directions; Wow with no exertion I had uncorked the wine in mere seconds flat. I have a rabbit type tool and have difficulty holding the "ears" and I need real strength to push and pull. The exertion was totaling absence with this Penguin opener. I like it, just mad at the price they are asking now
and it's retired? I might have to break my vow on getting stuff at whole sale prices.

Wine Stopper
The wine opener is great, easy to use, love it. I purchased 3 gift sets & 2 of the 3 wine stoppers broke after the 2nd or 3rd use.

A must for wine lovers
Comes in a nice package, but the fluff aside, the thing works, and works well.
For wine lovers, and gadget lovers, it's the must have wine opener.

It beats using a traditional cork screw, and having to pull, and push, and uncork, etc.

I'm very impressed by it.
