Evocative
Oxo has created an complete winner in this corkscrew. After years of struggling and even injuring myself opening wine bottles with conventional openers I stumbled upon this one. It's so gentle to use it's nearly criminal - the foil cutter comes off in a twist, I don't have to use much exertion to extract the cork from the bottle, and even less toil to extract the cork from the corkscrew after opening the bottle. And everything fits neatly into a single piece. What's not to like?

Major Corkscrew
Finest, easiest corkscrew I've ever used. Can't tell from looking at it online but all you have to do is keep screwing until the cork pops out. Then unscrew and do the last leaning by hand. Easy for my wife who has arthritic hands.

The Most superbly Wine Opener Ever
Abruptly and to the point - this is by far the easiest opener I've ever used. The foil cutter is slick and the opener is almost effortless to use. For those who beg to take issue, I think after they try it a couple times, they'll get the hang of it. And, I don't think I will ever have to replace this one because it's strong and sturdy - unlike the eradicate c draw even-screw and others that eventually break. We love it!

A burly product improved!
We have acclimatized the predecessor to this product for years: Oxo Good Grips Corkscrew. This one is even better:
1. a good foil cutter contents the handle,
2. the screw posed a danger on the old one, but this one is completely enclosed, and
3. extracts corks more easily (even though the top is not as wide).
Approvingly recommended!
[Update June 6, 2010] My wife has had surgery on both wrists within the past year, and she had discomfit with various wine openers before that. She had no trouble with this one, and immediately remarked we should update this review. An outstanding opener!

Too calculating
I can't connections the cork out of the bottle with this. I'll stick with my other openers.

Stroke Therapy with Corkscrew Device Most Beneficial, Study Suggests PR Web (press release)
19.01.10
Another reflect on being presented at ISET suggests stents can be used to treat stroke – just as they sometimes are second-hand to treat heart attacks – often resulting in significant improvements in brain function. The den includes 20 patients treated at one of three centers: the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY), the University of Florida at Gainesville and Barrow Neurological Establish in Phoenix. Patients treated with stents experienced an average of 60 percent improvement in wit function.
Stroke is called a brain attack because oxygen and blood flow to part of the brain is cut off. Eighty three percent of all strokes are ischemic, implication they are caused by a small clot that blocks an artery in the brain, stopping blood flow. (The other 17 percent of strokes are hemorrhagic, caused by bleeding in the knowledge.) If blood flow is not restored, impairment can result, including loss of brain use, speech, vision, movement (paralysis) and death. About 750,000 people suffer from stroke every year, and 160,000 die, according to the National Whack Association. Signs of stroke include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm or leg, loss of phantasm, confusion or severe headache. In both studies, only patients with ischemic stroke were included.

How do I get the cork out of a whine bottle without a cork screw?
Jun 05, 2008 by MonkeysPaw | Posted in Beer, Wine & Spirits
I got a lavish bottle of whine, I normally drink beer, so I do not have a cork screw. Is the another nifty way I can open it?
Screw a wood screw into the cork and beat a retreat on it with plyers.

Screw a wood screw into the cork and to pieces on it with plyers.

Hammer, dynamite, firecrackers, wrest, drop it on the floor...

use a drill gun to pierce in a regular screw, be sure to not drill it in further than the cork because it will get chunks of the cork in the bottle, then use either your hand if your tough or a pair of needle nose pliars to earn c lower it off, be sure to pull slowly because you can rip the inside of the screw.
good luck.

Thrust the cork into the bottle rather than trying to pull it out. I do however like the dynamite suggestion. :)

tear into a make upside down and strike squarly with a boot, the cork will start to work out repeat untill you can get ahold of it and recoil out

What does it mean when you are using a cork screw to open a bottle of wine and the cork just starts to crumble
Sep 23, 2007 by tolchfan | Posted in Beer, Wine & Spirits
I bought a gumption of wine last weekend, and when I went to open it, the cork just started to crumble and fall apart and the cork screw couldn't get through it. A friend told me that means my wine is bad, is that true?
It means the cork is bad, which in convert lets air in and will turn the wine. It does not automatically mean the wine is bad. You can taste and smell if the wine has turned.

How do i get a cork out of a wine bottle without a cork screw?
Jan 08, 2008 by scoobydoo | Posted in Beer, Wine & Spirits
I don't have a cork screw
if the cork is sticking out of the top of the liquor try plyers or something of that nature...if its flush with the top try finding a screw with big threads and screwing it into the cork, and then using plyers to pull on th screw...sounds excited but it works
