tannerCostco used to sell these many years ago. All metal, heavy duty. You’d be one and done with this one.

That's exactly what I have used for years. I like the rabbit style.
I would have to have
several bottles of wine in me to pay more than $25-30 for an opener.

bald1No one has mentioned the "Ah so" also known as the "Butler's friend" and Mathus blade style opener.
Been using them for years with no issues. Even have a couple in nice Lasercraft wooden sheaths. Here's a shot of one of them along side a V.Sattui Vineyards (Napa Valley) labeled one.

wreckdiverOn a camping trip, my wife brought her wine, but no corkscrew
Luckily, I was driving my work van to pull the trailer. After a few minutes thought, I went out and got a 3/8" wood bit and my battery drill.
At very slow speed, I put the bit down into the cork. Shortly, the cork started to spin, then pulled out easily. A HERO I was!!

kkinaOne thing I can tell you is that if you go with the corkscrew style, avoid the all too-ubiquitous auger style. This design is just a drill-bit. A drill-bit is for making holes, not pulling. They're easier to manufacture, so sadly they're so prevalent, but look for the helix coil-style instead.

TAllen01I can't post a link, but simply Google 'electric wine opener.' Target link has a great one for $13.99. Having gone through many types, including the several rabbit-type ones, rechargeable electric is the only way to go! Oster is the one I have.

bettysnephewEither the Screwpul or a genuine metal Pultap. I have both for years with no issues from either.
This is the one I like best.

SPWAMike0317Bettysnephew has it, I have been using a Pultap for 30 years. Simple, reliable and bulletproof.
I also have a Monopul
https://www.amazon.com/6255556...emover/dp/B000UX8TN2German made and rock solid, used occasionally since I found Pultap.
Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? April 26, 2018, 03:29 AM
Rey HRHAll those complications just offer so many ways the wine opener can break.
While on vacation, I picked up a simple wine bottle opener similar to this form. It has a sharp enough blade to take the foil off. A bottle opener. And the corkscrew. It has a part that catches on the lip to provide leverage as I pull the cork out.
Simple is elegance. And effective too.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Mars_AttacksI have three.
An electric that works very well, a Rabbit and a Corkatoo stainless.
All of them work equally well, with my favorite being the Corkatoo.

aileronLaguiole 2-stage. French and expensive, but you will never struggle to open a bottle or cork a bottle of wine. The last corkscrew you will ever buy. Mine is over 20 years old, and we drink *a lot* of wine

Ditto on this. I have this one along with my father-in-law’s that had been used for 30+ years. Screwpull makes a plastic corkscrew that uses a similar concept. I have one of those, it works nicely too. I have a rabbit. It’s too big. The waiter corkscrews are compact, but require more work and are prone to tearing up corks.
