There are hundreds of different corkscrews, but none
matches the extraordinary Rabbit. With 31 different
moving parts, this modern, black wine opener is an engineering
feat built for speed. But ordinary enophiles don't need
to understand the mechanics to appreciate the pulling
power of this little bunny. It overpowers the most stubborn,
dried-out natural corks and synthetic closures with
a user-friendly design. Close the "ears" over the neck
of the bottle, and then raise and lower the lever just
once. Lickety-split, the opener removes and ejects the
cork without any effort on your part. This high-tech
tool comes with a handy foilcutter and comes in an attractive
padded gift case.
This handsome corkscrew and bottle opener set by Sabatier
will travel wherever you do. Legend has it that an innkeeper's
son in the small French town of Laguiole invented this style
of folding knife in the early 1800s. Now manufactured in Thiers,
France, the two pieces have been streamlined into one of the
most space-efficient and attractive traveling opener sets
we've seen. (There's even a small steel-cut bee decorating
the bolster, which is based on the Imperial emblem of Napoleon
the First.) With this set in your pocket or picnic basket
you can open a bottle of beer, sparkling water, or wine without
a fuss. Sabatier has been making fine cutlery in France for
more than 150 years and their experience is evident here.
Wipe down with a soft cloth to clean.

A great gift for a wine lover, this powerful tool effortlessly
extracts the cork from any wine bottle in 3 seconds with a
simple lever action. Handles with comfortable rubberized padding
easily clamp onto a bottle's neck; the lever drives the tough
worm into the cork with a push and then pulls the cork out
cleanly with a simple pull. Releasing the cork involves the
same action, only with the handles clamped onto the cork.
Ruggedly constructed of polycarbonate and reinforced nylon,
the cork puller has the heft of a fine, precise high-tech
tool and comes by its name, Rabbit, because it resembles a
bunny's head. It regularly wins design awards for looks and
effectiveness.
Equipped with a newly designed, long-lasting screw, this
famous lever-action cork puller can now open 2,000 bottles
of wine uninterrupted (meaning you don't need to replace the
screw). That alone makes this a great gift for wine enthusiasts.
But the great-gift factor ratchets up because the wine opener
comes in a handsome black case as part of a set with Screwpull's
foil cutter. Operating the wine opener is a kick. Swing the
lever open, grip the bottleneck with the handles, swing the
lever closed, and watch the screw penetrate the cork. Now
take the lever back to the open position, and the cork comes
out of the bottle. As an added flourish, you can use the handles
to grip the cork while you swing the lever open again, pulling
the Teflon-coated screw from the cork and softly into the
operator's hand. This tool is precisely engineered, and comes
with a two-year warranty against defects.
Wing-style corkscrews make pulling corks about as foolproof
as possible. If you haven't used one of these before, here's
how they work: place this attractive stainless-steel corkscrew
from Oneida over the cork (after cutting away the foil around
the top of the bottle) and turn the loop at the top--the wings
rise up as the corkscrew sinks into the cork. Once the wings
are pointing straight up, lever them down to withdraw the
cork. The cork comes out straight, so there's almost no risk
it will--horrors--break. For the beer and pop drinkers, the
loop at the top also functions as a bottle opener.
No more tugging, no more pulling, no more aching, red-marked
hands. This cork pull allows easy turning of its soft, comfortable
knob. Once the nonstick screw is anchored in the cork, simply
continue turning the knob in the same direction to lift the
cork from the neck of the bottle. It's suitable for any size
bottle, and the clear plastic lets you watch as the cork pull
does its work. Constructed of die-cast zinc with a nickel
plate finish, the cork pull is as durable and strong as it
is easy.
Forget struggling with your corkscrew, hoping you won't break
the cork or drop the bottle. Give this wine opener set a try
and you'll be amazed at how easily the cork slips out. You
can open a new bottle without someone offering to give you
a hand or having to hide in the kitchen swearing under your
breath. Put that paring knife away and run the foil cutter
around the top of the bottle to remove the foil with ease.
Then place the plastic guide over the neck. Balance the corkscrew
on top and begin to turn clockwise. Keep turning until the
cork lifts itself right out of the bottle. How easy was that?
It's true this is a gift set, but I like to buy myself presents.
It's another wonder of modern technology from the folks at
Vacu Vin: this corkscrew stands head and shoulders above any
similar model. The tiny foil cutter stores in the top of the
machine--just pop it out, squeeze gently over the top of the
foil, and the foil falls right off. Next, insert the cork
into the bottom of the Winemaster, with all four handles in
the upright position. The corkscrew inserts itself when you
pull the two smaller handles down, and you lift the cork by
pulling the two larger handles. The last step: just raise
all four handles again to pull out the cork--no yanking or
twisting necessary! For the occasional extra-long cork, you
may need to perform the steps twice--but it's still far easier
than other corkscrews. You'll want to open wine just as an
excuse to show off this cool gadget. Tell guests they only
get to play if they bring their own bottle!
This handy little invention is small enough to slip into
your pocket or tuck in a picnic basket. First and foremost
a sturdy and reliable stainless-steel corkscrew, this versatile
tool also boasts a foil cutter and bottle opener--like a Swiss
Army Knife for beverages. The soft nonslip rubber body stays
firmly in your hand, wet or dry, and as are all Good Grips
products, it's dishwasher-safe.
This handsome, hand-polished stainless-steel waiter's corkscrew
is a compact, all-in-one tool for home entertaining that fits
easily into a pocket. Folded, it measures a little more than
4 inches long, but it's plenty big and sturdy enough to pop
wine corks and de-cap bottles. Unlike most wing-style corkscrews,
this one also has a folding foil-cutter blade for prepping
the bottle before opening. On the flip side, getting the hang
of the lever action for pulling corks does take a little practice,
but the result has its own rewards. Salute!
Sleek Italian style and heavy-duty, rugged construction distinguish
this handsome, highly effective tool, which removes corks
effortlessly from both traditional and flange-style bottles.
The spiral is coated in nonstick to penetrate corks easily
and the finish is contemporary brushed chrome to look great
on the bar or with any table setting. The corkscrew stores
on a hardwood base so it's readily at hand and doesn't have
to be tossed into a cluttered drawer. It stands 7-1/2 inches
high.
If only the French make true champagne, it's only natural
that the French company Le Creuset has designed a champagne
opener extraordinaire. This compact tool slips into the notches
left in the cork after the wire cage is removed. One little
twist and the cork slides out of the bottle--under the control
of the star, it can't go flying out of control. For New Year's
or wedding celebrations, or for the connoisseur who knows
that there's always reason to celebrate, the champagne star
is an essential accouterment.
