Vinturi Wine Opener Heavy-duty Vertical Lever Corkscrew with Built-in Foil Cutter Heavy Duty Die-Cast Construction in Compact Size Works on Natural and Synthetic Corks, Silver

I have searched for the ultimate wine bottle opener for decades and when I bought this upon seeing it at a friend's house, I realize I need search no further. This opener is by far the best I've seen. It is extremely heavy duty and solid. This lends to it's significant torque capability when opening bottles quickly and efficiently. Simply place it over the bottle (slides down over the next of bottle), pull down lever, pull up lever and cork pops off easily. Then you simply pull the lever down and pull it up again to eject the cork. So simple and so quick once you do it a couple times and understand the lever action. I can't imagine using anything else anymore. Trust me, you will agree. If you're considering this and hesitating... stop hesitating... you will be happy with this. I'm sure of it.

Literally...this wine opener stuck open upon receipt and subsequently fell apart in my hands. Contacted Vinturi directly (online only option) customer service. Waited a week. Never heard back. Contacted Amazon Customer Service - returning. Unfortunate as I had had a good impression using this product at friends home. At best, inconsistent quality. At worst, terrible customer service from Vinturi.

Really well-made quality product

I have had my Vinturi for two years now and it is still functioning. The two gifts are also still working well compared to the plethora of other wine openers like the Vinturi I have owned over the years. The foil cutter is lousy on all three but not a big issue. I will say that I have recently experienced difficultly with some corks needing an inordinate amount of pressure (strength) to insert and remove. Maybe the teflon cork screw needs to be replaced?

This opener was purchased to replace a Screw Pull devise that finally failed after 7-8 years (10-year warranty). Still waiting for the company to repair or replace my old screws pull! 😡 This Venturi opener seems to be well made and sturdy, using steel unlike others with plastic parts on the market.

Ordered for my husband Christmas gift. Took out of box and corkscrew fell from opener. Handle stays in locked position. Outside of opener is scratched - looks like someone returned it, was repackaged and sent to me. We've used these for years but originally purchased from Brookstone, last one from Williams' Sonoma. Returning this one to Amazon.

THIS BY FAR THE BEST WINEOPENER ON THE MARKET. I HAVE GIFTED THIS TO OTHERS 6 TIMES AND ALL WERE 100% SATISFIED. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THE PURCHASE OF THIS OPENER.

I have had one of these before. After some use during one bottle opening a small plastic piece broke out of it, but it continued to work. It lasted for 2 to 3 years. When it quit working completely I tried several other types that weren't as easy to operate, nor did they work as well. I've even had two of the type that comes on their own stands. My wife and I love the simplicity of it. I just wish it would last longer. Having said that I will always own one unless they start breaking with way too much frequency.

This wine cork extractor is very easy to use . It does require moderate hand strength to operate it , but that said it is a really good cork remover .
