Product Information

For example, the Le Creuset and Crafthouse corkscrews both featured a fulcrum that would only engage when you pushed it in. We began our quest to find a great wine opener five years ago by testing 19 of them, but figured it was time to revisit, retest, and add new corkscrews to the mix. Newer waiter’s corkscrews come with double-hinged or spring-loaded levers that reduce the work you’ll have to do on your end. Trudeau Turbo Double Lever Corkscrew: While our previous winner did a fine job removing corks in the end, we had a few qualms: the fulcrum was floppy (it flopped down multiple times mid-twist, which was annoying) and the first notch on the fulcrum didn’t provide much leverage. Both rest atop the bottle, and to remove the cork you simply twist the handle attached to the worm on top.

It’s a combination of speed, looks and functionality that really set this wine opener apart from the rest. There are many different kinds of corkscrews, including waiter's style corkscrews, twist models, lever models, winged models, and two-pronged models. Conversely, the OXO Steel Double Lever Waiter's Corkscrew and Zwilling both had super sharp, effective cutters—though they looked completely different.While many of the waiter’s keys on this list offer built-in options, consider the fact that many others don’t. Made of die-cast zinc, the handle is constructed of a soft, non-slip grip to give you leverage when opening. To activate it, you just press down on the top; it was low effort and required less grip than corkscrews with up and down buttons. However, it's not necessarily the safest bet for older corks or those that are tricky to remove, as sometimes the cork breaks with this corkscrew.

Over the years, manufacturers have come up with plenty of innovations to make it easier, but it’s tough to beat the functionality of a corkscrew. Ease of Use Test: Throughout testing, I noted if the corkscrews were easy to use and if they strained my hands. There isn't an easy answer to this per se, but you're more likely to find corks in older vintages of wine. A stable base with a wide mouth (that fits bottles of any size) and a thicker head do all the heavy lifting.With a stainless steel and aluminum construction, this double-hinged corkscrew features a Teflon-coated non-stick spiral.

BY FAR THE EASIEST MANUAL CORK REMOVER TO HANDLE - The beautiful wood handle is designed and formed to give you a unique feel of the wine opener and offer superb control when removing, both, wine bottle foil and wine corks. Looking For A Durable, Well-Built Wine/Bottle Opener That'll Easily Open Your Bottle In Just Seconds. My biggest concern with any new opener is the quality of the knife to cut the foil, and here the Barvivo does, in many ways, set itself apart.

You have to center the screw, twist the top, then push the levers down to get the cork out, but a lot of times they just don't have enough torque to remove it in one smooth motion. While the larger ones have their own suite of benefits, consider whether or not your corkscrew needs to fit in a cutlery drawer or a pant pocket. The double threading on the corkscrew lets the worm slide right into the cork with minimal resistance.
