I love this wine opener! If you have ever struggled with the twisting motion needed for the old standard “wing” type opener or bartender’s corkscrew, this one is for you!First, the foil cutter is the best I’ve ever used, and does the job of removing the top foil easily. Then, all you do is pull the lever up, pop the opener over the bottle, squeeze & push the lever down and pull back up in one easy motion. It is so much faster than any type that you have to screw in manually, plus saves my wrists. And the little red wine glass silhouette makes a cute addition to the overall look.I thought I had an issue with it at first and contacted the company. They responded immediately and sent a replacement right out…superior customer service! I will definitely be gifting these to all my wine drinking friends!
