4.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as the original.....,
This review is from: Screwpull by Le Creuset Waiter's Corkscrew (Kitchen)
....but a solid corkscrew. Love the deeply-hinged boot. Makes extracting longer corks a snap. The hinge action and overall construction is superior in every way to the ubiquitous Pulltap corkscrew.
My big problem with it is the bulk. It has a very wide handle. Not a problem if you keep it in a drawer in the kitchen, but too big to comfortably carry in a pocket; as I need to as I'm a bartender at a wine bar. If you want something with the same design but in a slimmer form, seek out the original Coutale. I found the original Coutale corkscrew for $15 at a certain winery in Paso Robles co-owned by a certain famous family from France's Rhone Valley. (If that ain't a hint, chances are you aren't much of a wine snob.) That's what I carry at work now. I open dozens of bottles a night at work and I'm very particular about the harware I use. I've tried everything from cheap distributor give-aways to Pulltaps to Coutale/Screwpull to Chateau Laguiole (the carbon fiber Eric Beaumard edition is quite nice) and this Screwpull/Coutale design is by far the easiest to use.

Screwpull is really a Coutale,

This review is from: Screwpull by Le Creuset Waiter's Corkscrew (Kitchen)
I received my first "screwpull" double action corkscrew 3 years ago personally from the inventor: Phillipe Coutale from Cahors France. He is a fifth generation winemaker, a thinker and inventor, (builds and flys his own airplane). His goal was to make a corkscrew that was easier, faster and more reliable than Pulltap. I believe he accomplished his goal. He sold the rights for the black handle model to LeCreuset,the Screwpull brand holder in the US. The even nicer solid stainless steel and the Rosewood handle models are on the market for the same price. [...]

Change the bottle cap opener and it's perfect.,

This review is from: Screwpull by Le Creuset Waiter's Corkscrew (Kitchen)
I received my Screwpull wine key as a Kendall Jackson promo. I think it's awesome. It's very reliable but the bottle cap opener could use some work. But, as a bartender I have a regular bottle opener/speed opener in my back pocket anyway.
I like the "2 step" wine keys because they're great on longer necked wine bottles like the Chateau St. Michelle Reisling at my work or the Fontana Pinot Grigio. This wine key works so well that I don't always even need to use both "steps". The cork comes out with the first step making it fast to get drinks out in the service well. I love it and even though I received a free one, I'm going to buy one or two extras because servers tend to gank stuff when you're not looking.
