    I work at a wine bar here in California and the place is always packed to the walls with people. I am constantly busy and we net ~$30,000 a night on weekends just in wine sales.

    My boss told me I needed to start buying my own wine keys (another name for a corkscrew) so I went online to Amazon. I didn’t know if I should take my chances on this corkscrew from HiCoup based on all the 5-star product reviews. How could this simple little tool garnish so many raving reviews? It seemed unreal to me. I also didn’t want to drop fifteen dollars on something that I go through so often at my workplace, but I took a chance and bought it anyways. I’m very happy and I do not regret my purchase at all.

    First day using it was spectacular. The tool itself has the perfect weight. It really feels like you are holding something of quality and craftsmanship. With a nice finish on the wood and a comfortable grip, it works perfectly in a high paced work atmosphere. The double hinge is fast and strong with the first lip usually doing the job if I’m not being lazy. The serrated blade is the best! It cut through even the thickest necks of wine bottles and just *works*. The ‘worm’ is very cool, with an inline groove running along the corkscrew down to the point. i do not know what this feature is for but it makes my open bottles quickly and efficiently.

    I would recommend this tool to anyone! I would not spend $35+ on another competitors corkscrew since this one works so well. I plan on owning this for a long time and since the company offers a lifetime warranty on the product, I don’t think I’ll ever need to replace it.

    Very happy with my purchase!

    *TIP*
    When I first received the item, the hinge between the bottle opener and the handle was very stiff and opening the corkscrew was difficult and annoying. I dabbed a little bit of olive oil onto a rolled paper towel and rubbed some into the two hinges, thus reducing the friction of the metal and fixing my one and only problem. I would recommend doing the same if you’re experiencing the same issue.

    I’m an avid fan/collecter of both craft beer and whiskey, and was a little hesitant to get involved in the MASSIVE world of wine. But I figured I’d still keep a corkscrew around just in case someone came over with a bottle for dinner.

    Not only is the product of good quality, but so is the company! After purchase they emailed me with both a quick PDF on how to properly use the corkscrew (more of just explaining the double lever) and a 30 page booklet to start understanding wine tasting!

    The PDF booklet was a crash course in wine tasting, complete with definitions for common wine terminology, suggested wine pairings with food, even judging pages for people who really want to practice tasting wine.

    I’m very happy with the purchase and HiCoup and hope to be using this product for years to come!

    When I was staying in a hotel in Aix-en-Provence they had a corkscrew similar to this one – it used a two step (or two level) extraction mechanism. I like the way it worked so when I got home, I decided to order one and chose this one by HiCoup.

    After I received it, however, I found that the first step extraction mechanism would not retract on its own. That is, the piece was so tight that the spring mechanism could not push it back out. After playing with it for a while, I contacted HiCoup about the problem, offering to return the one I had for a replacement. The immediately sent me a coupon code and recommended that I use it on Amazon for a free replacement. I did, and the replacement works fine.

    So, I’m doubly satisfied. I’m happy with the corkscrew and how it functions and I’m happy with the way HiCoup stepped up and replaced the original defective unit.

    Good job on both counts!
