Screwpull Lever

Pros: easy to use, stylish, effortless cork removal
Cons: expensive, wax seals can ruin the worm

Well, maybe not that fast, but you get the idea. In the same vein as my review on the screwpull foil cutter, I wonder how I ever got along without my screwpull.

I used to use a sommelier/waiter style corkscrew. True, they are much cheaper, but...

Pros: Mechanical design makes cork extraction a breeze
Cons: Expensive for something that breaks in 5 years

This device can instantly transform a sommelier-challenged fumbler into an ace wine-wielding quarterback. All you need is $130, a tad more fine-motor coordination than Herman Munster, and a cavalier sweep of the hand. The challenge is logistics: the...

Pros: Elegant design, easy to use, opens everything
Cons: You'll find yourself opening more bottles and drinking more wine!

Everyone has their own favorite way of getting the wine out of the bottle. Waiters use what they call "waiters' corkscrews," which flip open like pen-knives and brace against the side of the bottle-top with a hook.

I used to use one of those...

Pros: Fast, looks fabulous, no more anxiety about broken corks
Cons: Can cost as much as $130

Okay, I'm a fool for appliances, both for their performances and their looks (and, no, I'm not a guy). So, when we had dinner at a friend's house and he popped open the wine bottle in three seconds with a handsome, black gadget, I took a look and...

Pros: amazinly quite and precise corkscrew that never puts cork in the bottle
Cons: pricey

I hardly evetr order wine when I'm out to dinner. Usually its because the wine prices are so jacked up that I can never enjoy the wine. When I do break down and buy a bottle of wine, the waitress or waiter usually ends up screwing up the cork. I've...

Pros: Easy & simple. Gets out those stubborn corks
Cons: cost

I love drinking good wine. Often this could be a relatively old bottle of Cabernet, or Merlot, and often the problem is in removing a wet or very soft cork. Too many times I have seen the cork get pushed into the bottle. I have also seen a bottle give...

Pros: Consistent pulls and perfect cork extractions.
Cons: Price and everyone knows you have too much money or CC debt.

I never thought I would equate a corkscrew with a sexual act, the Screwpull Lever Corkscrew could keep me company on a lonely night when I’m drinking by myself just fine. . . Thank you very much.

Well, besides that. You’re going to want one....

Pros: This is a fantastic product!
Cons: Slightly expensive, but worth it.

Except that this corkscrew is the best around. Granted it is a little pricey, but I think it is a must have for anyone who enjoys wine.
The ease of use is only one of the reasons I recommend it. I have ruined wine before because I have broken...

Pros: SO EASY to use, fast extraction
Cons: VERY expensive

My husband thought I was crazy to purchase a corkscrew for as much as I did... and actually I thought I was a little insane myself. Truthfully, the only reason I submitted to temptation and bought it was because my sister gets 40% off at...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: expensive

The Screwpull Lever Model by Le Creuset is simply the best corkscrew. It is seriously expensive. The cheapest that I have seen it for is $109 at Zabar's in New York City.

I was thinking about giving the Screwpull Lever Model to my...

Pros: Pain-free wine enjoying pleasure!
Cons: Cost is a factor.

For those of us who enjoy a truly good bottle of wine before dinner, with dinner, with dessert, or with fruit and cheese, but HATE the pain of
operating most wine bottle openers, here is the answer. This wine bottle opener is the easiest, least...

Pros: Fast, easy to use, very cool
Cons: large, steep price, not as suave when presenting wine at meals

I don't personally own a Screwpull Lever, but many of my friends and family do. I have never seen a broken cork or any other cork mishap (outside of improper wine storage) from this device and it gets my blessing for design, ease of use and all around...

Pros: unique design; best in class product
Cons: expensive

I love a product which has inherent quality or design excellence. The Screwpull lever model is such a product. It does exactly what it was designed to do with an elegance that blows away every competitor.

Opening my French wines has always...

Pros: Makes you look like a pro
Cons: Somewhat expensive

Okay, not only is this a great product (as you undoubtedly already know), but if you know where to look it's not as expensive as you might think! I was browsing through an outlet mall awhile back, and low and behold there it was! Turns out the...

Pros: High quality and ease of use
Cons: Relatively expensive

When a friend gave me this strange looking device as a present it seemed clumsy--until he set it on a bottle of Bordeaux and uncorked it in less than one second by putting his hand on the lever, squeezing the handle, and swinging the lever up and pushing...
