Review on Houdini 8-Inch Stainless Winged Corkscrew: Efficient Wine Opener for Easy Uncorking by Sean Bond

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Functional. Here it is.

Over the decades of drinking wine, I have purchased, lost, worn out and thrown away many corkscrews. The Houdini H1-012901T Winged Corkscrew will do the trick, but it won't be remembered or particularly appreciated for helping me uncork a bottle. I say that because the materials are right, but not the ones that make an instrument beautiful. Unless you're very careful, this corkscrew tends to pull the cork in where it's stuck as if it's never going to come out. I consider this a design flaw and not the result of user error, a statement I dare only because numerous similar corkscrews have never given me such a result. The price is right, that's for sure. So I'm giving no less than four stars for a product that could be a lot better, but is affordable and interchangeable, at a price that is beyond regret.

Pros
  • DURABILITY: The dual handles on this classic bottle opener provide extra leverage for easy wine cork removal.
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model
