Review on 🍷 Vacu Vin Waiter's Foil Cutter and Bottle Opener - Black Corkscrew: Simplify Wine Opening with 2-in-1 Tool! by Tony Stone

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Another Pulltap scammer.

After seeing pictures of the new VacuVin waiter's corkscrew, I was keen to buy it for myself and sell it in my liquor store. After having a chance to evaluate it, I found it to be weak competition for even a standard Pulltap corkscrew. Both have articulated arms, lid lifters and foil cutters. The VacuVin lever is chunky and requires a lot of finesse to hold it on the neck of the bottle. The lid lifter is the same as the pulltap. While I find it more ergonomic to have the foil cutter on the same end as the fulcrum like the pulltap, users with very short nails may prefer the open tip of the Vacuvin over the cutout on the pulltap. As is often the case when comparing corkscrews, the pulltap has the best screw; uniform in thickness and diameter of the spiral. The VacuVin is not uniform in either thickness or coil diameter; The manufacturer doesn't state the country of manufacture, but I would call it Chinese just based on the worm (this isn't a criticism, just an observation). Given the choice between the Pulltap at around $8.95 and the VacuVin at around $12.95, I would definitely recommend the former.

Pros
  • Home & Kitchen
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled
