Works well, looks premium at first glance

My wife and her sisters are very fond of wine. Or maybe they just enjoy talking and drinking together, and wine is more socially acceptable than taking shots while gossiping. In any case, we always seem to be pulling corks and popping off bottle tops. I figured it might help them get to the bottom of the bottle faster. How it is. At first glance this is a very expensive instrument, but it's actually a cheaper instrument with a really nice finish. It could be a better tool with some tweaks, but at the end of the day it's functional and how much you really need to spend to make it look better when it works really well. I only have one problem, and it exists with other tools anyway, so it's not a hit for that particular tool. Here's how: Use the included foil cutter to remove the foil from the top of the bottle. Attach it to the neck of the bottle, pull the lever down, pull the lever up, and the cork comes out. The easiest way to remove a cork. The problem is that removing the cork from the tool is still done the old-fashioned way. At one point I thought it would be good for arthritic hands, but there doesn't seem to be a way to easily remove the cork from any tool other than any corkscrew you've ever used. Everything else is quicker and easier, though, so you'll still get to the bottom of things quicker. You can sip wine while removing the cork from the tool and think of a better way. However, you will not feel thirsty. It's good. So my main assessment is that this is a good, functional tool. It feels a bit loose/loose like they could have put it together with tighter tolerances. But I'm not entirely sure if they did it on purpose to fit more bottles or if it's a bit loose because it's made in China and they're still working on tightening the tolerances for the next batch from there tighten. But like I said, it works. Looks beautiful. I think it's a good gift for your wine drinking friends and family. It looks great when you open it, and while it's a little big for a corkscrew, it works so well that they'll probably find a place for it and use it every time they open a bottle. Once you've used it, it's difficult to go back to your old corkscrew. I'm glad we have it. It saves wasting time against an old corkscrew and makes you thirsty. The only problem I see is that you might decide that with such a complex instrument you might need to drink more complex wine. It may end up costing you.

Pros
  • - EASY WINE OPENING: Remove the cork in seconds. The Wine Ziz wine corkscrew not only simplifies the process but also makes it smoother. While others easily pinch, ours features a quality mechanism that makes opening wine a pleasure.
Cons
  • Big and bulky
