I ordered one of these last week, cost $9.99, so price has gone up a tiny bit, but still far cheaper than any other electric wine opener I can see.
I received mine today, everything appears to be good quality, though I haven't opened a bottle of wine with it just yet.
CamelCamelCamel.
I only have one bottle with a cork at the moment, the rest are all twist tops. It's a nice bottle, so am saving that one.
I did just drive it into a cork that I had lying around from a previous bottle, held the cork and drove it in - worked fine, no issues at all.
Will try pick up a cheapy today for trial purposes.
I think the majority of us would be in the same situation; not many corks in my wine rack.
What? Use it on the screw top. Need to know it works on those before buying
They still sell wine with corks? Maybe the expensive ones.
Or European.
I personally have next to zero experience with wine, but I bought and have had wine at a few dinners lately and they've all had corks… (have been 15-30 dollar range).
Lots of export stuff around at the moment that was destined to China that’s cheap here, it always has a cork. I bought a pile of museum release stuff from a closed winery that was sealed with a cork too.
It’s stupid, corks are worse in pretty much every way, but a lot of wineries still use them to make their wine look more premium.
Well that's how I discovered my corkscrew was missing.. When I went to open my nice bottle. This costs as much as a manual corkscrew so figured I'd give it a bash.
Oos
Could you actually open a bottle with it and let us know if it works or not.
