Screwpull Black Lever Model Wine Opener w/ Foil Cutter

Pros: Everyone can use it. No muscle power required.
Cons: The corkscrew can spin out of the cork if you don't hold the handle.

Since this type of corkscrew hit the market, it has proven itself to be the best type of corkscrew ever. If you ever fought with the traditional type, and ended up breaking off the cork, or couldn't decant the bottle, this one is easy to use for ...

Pros: Reliable, easy and fast to operate, no worries about cork
Cons: Can be costly; some bottles dont' fit

No appliance is more fun to use than the Screwpull, which makes small work of opening a bottle of wine. It's easy to operate and eliminates the fear that you'll end up with a split cork and pieces everywhere you look.

The foil cutter comes...

Pros: Long lasting corkscrew makes it worth it.
Cons: The price is twice as high as other models.

The Screwpull Lever Model Wine opener is the original wine opener on the market. Eventhough there are many other similar designs, the screwpull has one of the longest lasting screw. I have had this model for over a year and plan on buying another for a present this year.

The design is sleek and bottles open with ease. I think that it is worth the extra money compared to cheaper models.

Pros: Tough, durable, lot's of ooh, ahh factor.
Cons: Pricey, but it works flawlessly.

My wife and I received the Screwpull as a wedding gift, but if we ever lost if, we wouldn't hesitate to buy another one! I have always had a hard time with traditional corkscrews (eg. twisting the screw in crooked, so that the cork is sure to crumble), so the addition of the Screwpull to our home was most welcome! This device is wonderfully easy to use -- uncorking a bottle of wine takes little more than a second or two! It comes with a handy foil cutter, which removes foil neatly and cleanly, so that the screw has no trouble getting into the cork (wax-topped corks are no problem!) We have a friend who thought the Screwpull was so great, she insisted on opening the wine whenever she was visiting! This is a perfect gift for the wine enthusiast.
