Review on Alessi Parrot Sommelier Style Corkscrew Multi Color by Derick Johns

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent professional wine key

As a lifelong wine professional, I've tried most corkscrews, from budget to high end, and keep coming back to them. One of the best I've tried: ergonomic, quick and relatively easy to work with tricky/old corks. It's pretty cute too. However, for professional use I prefer matte colors as speckled colors tend to feel sticky with overuse. However, I do not recommend this for opening beer bottles. A special beer key is always suitable for this. I've never experienced the build issues that other reviewers have reported, but maybe they'll buy one of the many knockoffs? Anyway, I highly recommend this wine key!

Pros
  • 5 inches long, easy to find in any drawer
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
