The Metrokane Houdini corkscrew is so easy and effortless to use, it's practically magic. Lever action does all the work for you--so no yanking at stubborn corks or finding broken bits floating in your glass of Merlot. Simply place handles over the wine bottle’s neck, push down to engage the cork, pull up, and abracadabra--it's out. Another simple pull of the lever removes the cork from the screw. Ergonomically-correct handles are turned down for a better grip, and the opener is exceptionally comfortable to use. Designed by the same people who make the acclaimed Rabbit corkscrew, the Houdini offers the same mechanism at a lower price. This corkscrew comes with a foil cutter and extra screw, and is covered by a five-year warranty. --Mary Park

Good Value,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Metrokane Houdini Lever-Style Corkscrew, Black (Kitchen)
Product represents a good value for this type of corkscrew. We've had it for about a month now, and used it to open more bottles of vino than I care to admit! Never had any problem with a bottle of red (served at room temp), but have had some difficulty with chilled whites (cold corks harder to pull), and it simply refuses to pull artificial corks (perhaps on principle!!) overall, a good gizmo. motivates you to stick with good quality reds. with the reds it's been a 5-star performer.

Corks come out in one piece---what more can you ask?,
By
This review is from: Metrokane Houdini Lever-Style Corkscrew, Black (Kitchen)
I bought this as a gold box offer because I was tired of the old cork screws (the ones with the arms that you use to pull a cork). I've had to many cork failures with all the other types I've used.This unit makes it easier to hit the middle of the cork every time. All you do is grab the top of the bottle is grip of the opener, and lift the arm. This drives the screw into the cork for you. Then you just push down on the same lever and the cork comes out---intact (every time for me). It sometimes requires a slight pull, but this is minor. It also comes with a foil cutter, which works well also.

Newer 2008 Models Much Improved: Great Opener!,
By A reader (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Metrokane Houdini Lever-Style Corkscrew, Black (Kitchen)
I was really surprised at all the negative or lukewarm reviews until I looked at the dates: these are mostly from 2002-2003, and the most recent one I saw was 2004. Half a decade later, the Houdini is MUCH improved. Mine is a champ, and opens every bottle flawlessly and quickly. I drink wine EVERY DAY, so it has to work continuously, and it does. While some five-year old reviews talk of wobblies or weak joints, this is no longer true. The 2008 Houdini is solid! It also now comes with it's own case (rubber handle retainer included), so you don't have to worry about storage issues. I'm a hard-core wine aficionado, and this is a superb opener. I can't think of any way they could improve it.
