    I was surprised as to how well this item actually worked when we opened and started using it. I purchased this as a ‘filler’ gift for my wife for Christmas. Knowing that it was a gadjety gift I did not have high expecations. We used this for fun and found out how easy it is to use and how cleanly it removes the cork. It opens many bottles on one charge, although we have not yet tried to prove the box statement correct that it opens 30 bottles on one charge.

    Good for a person who struggles with conventional wine openers and breaking corks.

    The bonus wine chiller is stylish and functional.

    The wine opener alone sells for way more than this in retail stores and wine catalogs!, May 30, 2009

    We actually originally bought just the wine opener at a department store. As is usual with Amazon, this online price is waaay better than what we paid for the wine opener ALONE…I was told at a dinner party that Amazon had the wine opener for less than what I paid so we went online to order several of these as gifts and found we could get the wine chiller too for less!

    Not only do these two wine lovers love the opener, but every time we use it in front of someone they fall in love and want one so it’s the perfect gift.

    So…we ordered a few with the wine chiller and tried out the wine chiller as well and are equally as impressed! We had a dinner party and ran low on white wine. A fast chill provided by the wine chiller kept the dinner party flowing smoothly.

    We had a $150 dollar wine opener that didn’t work nearly as impressive and easily as this one did. In fact, a wine opener just like this is still in wine catalogs for over $100. It may even be the same one…that’s the first place we saw it.

    As for how it works…place it on the bottle, push the button, ZIP…it uncorks it for you.

    TO REMOVE THE CORK: (totally easy) you just push the button in reverse and it pops it right out for you to remove it! Anyone who didn’t know this trick may not have read that part of the instructions as I could see that trying to remove it otherwise would be difficult. but it’s a cinch if you push that reverse button…even easier than removing it from a manual opener!

    CONCLUSION: I love to drink wine but hate opening it and have broken enough corks in my day to realize I shouldn’t. This is uncorkage 101 at it’s finest whether you are a pro opener or as clumsy as me…looks impressive, is a major conversation piece once you use it, works in seconds with no brainpower needed, and the battery charge lasts so long that we even took it on a cruise and uncorked our wine during the whole trip perfectly and still came home and used it for a few weeks without having to recharge!

    The wine chiller works just as well as the ones costing hundreds more. We are a lover of Oster and Amazon for this bargain set for our gift giving!! My parents, who have everything, are as hooked as we are on this and now gift it themselves to others.

    And, more importantly, we’ve had it for a year now and it’s as good as new. Some more expensive wine openers we’ve had had more fragile pieces that didn’t hold up.

    While it’s the perfect gift, you’ll want to keep it for yourself if you don’t yet have one.

    The Little Corkscrew That Could, March 8, 2011
    By 
    Rob

    Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
    I don’t know what I can say that others positive reviewers haven’t said except that I too have used this corkscrew without fail many times on all different types of corks. I love it, my wife loves it, heck even the dog loves it and he doesn’t have thumbs. I don’t know what else to say, “it works for me”. We keep it plugged in on the counter all the time. We don’t even mind the glowing light.

    But just in case someone wants to know more about this product and doesn’t want to read the hundreds of older positive reviews here’s my recent one.

    How it works: Step 1 – Select a bottle of your favorite wine. White, red, rose, whatever, the corkscrew does not care. Step 2 – Look at the top of the bottle carefully. Make sure the bottle isn’t a screw off cap. If it is, skip Steps 3 thru 5 and go right to step 6. Step 3 – Use the included (and this is important) “manually operated” foil cutter (works better than the other two I have) to remove the foil. And in case you’ve never removed the foil before, I know it can be a little tricky, but with the bottle sitting on your counter top or some other smooth hard surface (but not your expensive glass table top) place the foil cutter onto the bottle as it’s intended, apply a little pressure by squeezing the foil cutter between your thumb and forefinger and, now here’s the tricky part, SPIN THE BOTTLE, not the foil cutter and I guarantee it will work every time. Step 4 – Place the corkscrew on top of the bottle. Try not to get so hung up on if you you have it dead center on the cork, but do try to make sure that the corkscrew isn’t leaning over one way or the other, and as straight up and down inline with the bottle as possible. If you have already had too much wine and your vision or judgment is impaired get some help or let someone else do it. Again, I recommend leaving the bottle on the same flat surface so you aren’t misled in case you are starting to lean one way or the other. Step 5 – With mild downward pressure, press the button that removes the cork. When the corkscrew motor stops running it’s finished and the cork should be completely removed from the neck of the bottle. Press the other part of the button to remove the cork form the corkscrew. Step 6 – Get your glass and enjoy your cork-particle-less wine.

    I was a little apprehensive my first bottle but after two or three you too will be a pro and wonder why you ever doubted something so simple could make your life so easy. I’ve used and still own some pretty cool corkscrews including the rabbit type and they all worked as intended. The difference between them and this little gadget is my wife can open wine bottles now too and while that may sound ridicules to some people it wasn’t to me. My wife is as intelligent as the next person but she lacks the physical strength to use those other types. Independence is a major building block in any relationship. And hey, I don’t mind being served a glass of wine unexpectedly from time to time either. This tool is so simple and works so well that with practice and determination, you could use it with one hand. Imagine what that means to physically challenged persons. I’m just sayin’………

    I highly recommend this tool and it works as others have stated, without question. The chiller is very sleek and works as intended too. I’m a stainless steel freak so both are appreciated in my house. If you are a traditionalist you may not want the set. I keep the chiller in the refrigerator and move it to the freezer hours before using it. It won’t keep your wine as cold as the refrigerator but on a warm night it will keep it cooler than not using anything. I recommend the set though because separately, they would cost more.

    Please drink responsibly, save some for me.

    Give people in your life a fair warning when they come in the door and see this glass filled to the “Don’t even Ask” line.
    Quality and shipping make this a perfect gift for work colleagues.

    Nice weight glass and good that the words are etched. Don’t have to worry about it peeling off when washing. This is my go-to wine glass most of the time. Would make a great gift as well.
