Vacu Vin Winemaster Corkscrew, Black

After previously owning a Vacu Vin Winemaster Corkscrew for many years which finally gave in, we decided to replace it with the same model. We purchased one that broke on the 3rd bottle of wine so we returned it for another one which did exactly the same thing. We never had any problems with our original corkscrew and even gave them as gifts. The "sleeve" that slips down over the bottle top has little plastic "stops" that broke off after one or two uses. Very disappointed because the design and mechanics of this corkscrew are great. It removes the corks as slick as a whistle usually but when these pegs break the "sleeve" slides down and makes it inoperable.

This is, bar none, the finest wine opener I've ever used. It's fun, guests love it & are intrigued and multiple bottles are never an issue. I wish I would have come up w the idea. I bought one years ago & it works just as well as when it was new. I bought more for gifts this year.

It broke the first time I used it.
The previous VacuVin opener I owned lasted 8 years (over 2,000 bottles opened) until it broke but the new one broke the first time I used it. It was not "operator error" because of my 8 years experience with the product.
$50 down the drain. Don't buy this product, you will be sorry.

"It slices, it dices...!" This corkscrew does it all, effortlessly. No more straining to pull corks, no more broken corks. It has all the tools--cuts the cork covering, easily slides the cork from the bottle, and frees the cork from the screw in one motion. IMPRESSIVE! This corkscrew is a must for the fine wine afficionado.

After struggling through the years with a variety of cork pullers, we finally found one that works, flawlessly and, effortlessly. The simplicity of the Vacu Vin Winemaster is remarkable.
