Good product, bad packaging

We bought the black one and it came in the blue box. Also, the box was really worn out. Of course there was a nice black corkscrew in there. We already have it, so we know it looks good. Problem is, it was supposed to be a gift. So we're giving these away in the wrong color box, which is very worn. It's uncomfortable. It's not a time to change either.

Pros
  • Available in different colors; makes a great gift for honeymooners and new homeowners
Cons
  • Great Price

We just discontinued it

My husband got Alessi for his 30th anniversary 22 years . Our sweet little girl has easily opened over 1000 bottles of wine! so the price is good. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars is because the yellow collar was the first thing to snap early on, but it's just a guide and we never needed it. We order another one and keep our fingers crossed that it's just as good for us as "their number 1".

Pros
  • 2-3/4" wide by 9-1/2" long and easy to find in any desk drawer
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Updated today, .Update, . This corkscrew has been used for almost 5 months. He deserves 5 stars. That's great !

I got one of these as a gift about 12 years ago. It went out of service about 2 years ago. Since then I have had at least 6-7 different wine extractors. None of them lasted from several weeks to several months. I was willing to spend a few euros to get something of decent quality. There is no such happiness. It lacks good quality corkscrews at a reasonable price ($12-$40 for me). I had a hard time finding this, even on AMZN. I had to google "Wine Lady" before I found it. I was a little…

Pros
  • Alessandro Mendini designed the bottle opener in 1994 after his friend and fellow designer Anna Ghily.
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared.
