Review of Screwpull Metal Champagne Star

I have had one of these "Screwpull" tools for years.I was getting new ones for friends that liked how easy Champagne was to open when you used this tool. You have control without losing any of the champagne.

Review of Screwpull Classic Travel Corkscrew, Black

I got this for my spouse (as well as the non-travel style one) to replace a similar (off brand) that broke. He prefers using these Screwpull brand corkscrews. He appreciates that there is a very long screw thread so that when there is a cork that has broken this style of corkscrew always works. I'm not as thrilled, since in my smaller hands, everything feels more floppy, so I prefer the old-style heavy corkscrews that sit on top and have the 'wings'. But, when the cork crumbles on an old bottle, now we have no trouble extracting it instead of having to push it into the bottle.

Product Description:
Just as there's nothing better than a bottle of wine at the beach, cabin, or campground; there's nothing worse than being stuck without a corkscrew. The travel corkscrew from Screwpull is not only compact and lightweight; it's a sophisticated tool friends will covet. Not only does this clever corkscrew take the work out of cork removal for effortless bottle opening, it now automatically twists the cork off the screw as well. To open, simply pull the handle and the durable Teflon screw drives precisely into the cork's center. Push lightly the other way and the cork climbs effortlessly out of the bottle. Then, while holding the corkscrew panels (and not the cork); pull the handle again and--voila, the device pushes the cork off the screw unscathed! Pinch down on the sides to keep the cork from falling off, and reinsert it with the same ease. Finally, fold up the corkscrew and pack it away.

Review of Screwpull Champagne Cork Catcher

I purchased this item on a whim because it looked like it would be fun to use, and after receiving it, I immediately tried it out.It failed to work on the first bottle, but has worked quite well on all subsequent ones.All I can assume is that the first bottle had a smaller cork than the others.

It is very easy to use, removes the cork with a few twists, and makes the cork pop out without any collateral damage.The champagne doesn't foam out of the bottle after the cork is released either.So if you like to have the cork pop out of your champagne bottles, but don't want any damage or harm caused by flying corks, such as dented walls or ceilings, broken dishes, etc. this is the tool for you.

I only gave it four stars because of the failure to remove the smaller cork, so it may not work with all bottles.But I've found it to be much more enjoyable and easier to use than other methods.

Review of Screwpull Trilogy Table Model and Foil Cutter Gift Set

I have used most of their products over the years - from the original turn corkscrew to the really expensive lever models. This is a new twist (pardon the pun!) on the classic.

Somehow the pressure applied by this corkscrew will allow the most feeble cork to turn and lift.

The design can not be improved too much - so simple. This is the corkscrew everyone should use.

Review of Screwpull Trilogy Travel Corkscrew

I read the negative reviews and went ahead and purchased this anyway, relying on a web site wine magazine review.I now think those reviews are a total fraud, just like most specialty web sites and magazines, reviews are generally glowing because the web site or magazine wants the product maker to then advertise the reviewed product in the same magazine.What a fraud.This device was nothing like what the web site described.It is very flimsy, made of cheap-feeling plastic (it weighs nothing at all) and is cumbersome to use.Look elsewhere.

Review of Screwpull Table Model Metal Trilogy Bottle Opener

My husband and I went through many different types of corkscrews before receiving our first Screwpull model years ago as a gift (ours looked just like this one: Screwpull Table Model Corkscrew, Black, except that it was translucent brown in color).We were extremely impressed with the Screwpull!Unlike "rabbit ears" or other models, there is nothing to push or pull:you simply position the Screwpull over the cork, twist the screw part into the cork using the handle at the top of the unit, and voila!--the cork magically lifts into the Screwpull, seemingly of its own volition.The Screwpull never fails to remove even the most stubborn corks without any crumbling or debris.

Even though our original Screwpull performed flawlessly for many years, it was made of plastic, and my husband mentioned that it would be nice to have a metal model.So, when searching for Christmas gifts for him, I was thrilled to discover that the Screwpull brand had *just* started making a metal version of their fabulous product!I chose the Screwpull in "Satin Chrome," a smart-looking silver unit with a black top.This sturdier Screwpull works just the same as our old model yet seems much more durable overall.Furthermore, Screwpull added a small but significant little innovation to this newer version:the "Activ-Ball"!Before, the only thing that was sometimes a problem with the old Screwpull was getting the cork off the screw part once you were done; now, you just turn the handle the other way, and a little red ball gently pushes the cork right off!

There are fancier, more elaborate corkscrews out there, but I don't know why anyone would bother with them.No matter what kind of corkscrew you get, just make sure it is a Screwpull, and better yet, get this model--highly recommended!

Review of Screwpull Lever Model Replacement Screws

We've had a Rabbit Screwpull for over 10 years. In the past couple of years it's been getting harder and harder to pull corks out of wine bottles with our Rabbit. Simply replacing the screw pull part did the trick (and it only took a couple seconds). Now our Rabbit Screwpull is just like new.

Review of Screwpull Elegance Lever Model Corkscrew Gift Set

While this one's great, is there a good reason to pay so much when there are others just as good for around one-tenth the price (e.g., ASIN: B0006ABVK2)? I suggest you shop around unless you're buying this as a gift for someone who really knows wine, knows this brand name, and wants to show off for their guests.

Otherwise, when shopping for a corkscrew, the lever type like this is by FAR the best option. If you've never used a lever opener like this to open a wine bottle you don't know what you're missing.

I suggest getting one with mostly metal parts for durability and smooth, solid operation. Look for one that has spare worms or other spare parts, protective covers, a stand/box, and/or foil cutter included too. I really don't believe you have to pay more than twenty for a good lever opener--I paid ten for my zinc set with spare worm, cover, cutter, and storage box. It works perfectly, and I could buy a few great bottles of wine with the money I saved by not getting the Screwpull Elegance or another over-priced lever.

Review of Screwpull Lever Model Classic Wine Opener with Wooden Gift Box

This is absolutely the best wine opener available. After you use one, you will wonder why you ever opened a bottle any other way. The foil cutter is very easy to operate, and the opener itself will have your bottle opened and the cork ejected from the screw in a matter of seconds. No mess, no trouble.

Review of Screwpull Lever Model Classic Lever Gift Set

I bought one of these for my dad last christmas along with a few bottles of nice wine.
Well, the wine is gone now, but he still is raving about this cork puller.When dinner guests ask about it - I get mentioned!
Ihave used it myself and I have never seen such a smooth cork remover.Itdoes a perfect pull everytime.
After removing the metal on the top ofthe bottle.Just place the puller over the bottle, move the handle downand the screw slides right into the cork.Move the handle back up and thecork slides right out.Never breaks the cork and you don't end up shakingthe wine in the effort to get the cork out.
I don't think that there is abetter hand held puller out there.The next step up from this would be tobuy a table top mounted version - but then you don't get to open the bottlewith your guests.

Review of Screwpull Waiter's Corkscrew

I received my first "screwpull" double action corkscrew 3 years ago personally from the inventor: Phillipe Coutale from Cahors France. He is a fifth generation winemaker, a thinker and inventor, (builds and flys his own airplane).His goal was to make a corkscrew that was easier, faster and more reliable than Pulltap. I believe he accomplished his goal. He sold the rights for the black handle model to LeCreuset,the Screwpull brand holder in the US. The even nicer solid stainless steel and the Rosewood handle models are on the market for the same price. [...]

Review of Screwpull Patented 4 Wheel Foil Cutter - Black

I have used many different foil cutters over the years and this works far better than any other. Must be the four rotating cutting blades. However, after about six months the cutter just snapped in half. Thinking I must have done something, I purchased another with the same result. I noticed Screwpull has a new design for a cutter so I will give that product a try.

Review of Screwpull Pocket Model Corkscrew, Black

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.
