Product Description

Amazon.com Review

It's important not to run a corkscrew through the metal foil on top of a wine bottle since it can dull the screw. A foil cutter does a clean, even job of removing the foil cap and presenting the top of the cork. Made of durable plastic and covered with a rubberized, matte black finish, this foil cutter from the Velvet line is elegant and easy to grip. Simply position it on top of the bottle, squeeze firmly, and twist. A great gift for the wine aficionado, the Velvet foil cutter comes packaged in a molded clear acrylic case. --Ann Bieri

This foil cutter requires more effort (a stronger squeeze) than it really ought to, and too much turning. The built-in foil cutter on my "Boomerang" brand waiter's corkscrew works more reliably, and requires less effort, and the whole corkscrew hardly costs more than this foil cutter.

I had expected that a purpose-built, standalone foil cutter would excel at the task, but this device came up short.

I have used a number of foil cutters over the years and have found this one to be near useless. It is not a question of quality but rather poor design. I highly recommend the Screwpull brand foil cutter as an alternative.

Horrible! Only two cutting wheels. Does not fit on bottles with an extra wide neck. Flimsy. I would guess that this will break in a month or two. Stick to a Screwpull.
