Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
A great gift for wine lovers, this Pinzon gift set includes a wine opener, foil cutter, and stopper. The powerful cork puller effortlessly extracts the cork from any wine bottle with simple lever action. Simply lift the rubber-finished lever up, clamp on the bottle's neck with the Penguin's side grips, push down the lever to drive the corkscrew into the cork, and raise the lever to pull the cork out cleanly. Releasing the cork from the screw involves the same action. For strength and longevity, the opener is constructed of stainless steel with black plastic accents. Accompanying the cork puller is a foil cutter that strips away the foil covering a cork, and an extra screw that can be installed with a screwdriver. The opener also comes with a stopper that tightly seals your leftover wine in the bottle. All pieces in this set should be hand washed and are imported.

From the Manufacturer

We've all seen a waiter or waitress struggle to open a bottle with a stubborn cork in front of a large crowd. Well, no more. Pinzon is proud to present the Penguin Wine Opener--a reliable and easy-to-use wine opener. Simply follow these easy instructions to use the foil cutter, wine opener, and stopper, and you'll be opening bottles in no time. To use the Pinzon Penguin Foil Cutter: Position the circular foil cutter over the top of the bottle. Press the sides of the cutter in lightly and twist a couple of times around the bottle. The foil top neatly removes to expose the cork. To Use the Pinzon Penguin Wine Opener: 1. The sleek Penguin is designed to effortlessly remove a wine bottle cork. 2. Raise the lever and clamp the Penguin down over the neck of the bottle. 3. Grasp the rubberized inserts securely with one hand to hold the bottle steady. 4. Use the other hand to lower and then raise the lever in one smooth motion. (Although you can’t see it, the corkscrew enters and pulls out the cork.) 5. With the lever up, lift the Penguin off the bottle. The cork will be inside the Penguin. 6. Lower and raise the lever again, and voilà! The cork slides off the corkscrew.     Note: The Penguin can be used to open wines bottled with regular corks, but careful use is advised when opening bottles with synthetic corks. To Use the Pinzon Penguin Stopper: The stopper preserves for days on end the bouquet and flavor of a partially consumed bottle of wine. Plastic ridges on the stopper collar help provide an airtight seal. To Replace a Corkscrew on the Pinzon Penguin Opener: Raise the lever and find the largest of three Phillips screws in the body of the Penguin. Unscrew the largest Phillips screw to release the corkscrew. Pull out the Penguin screw and insert the replacement underneath the lever. Then reinsert and screw in the Phillips screw from where it was removed. Cleaning Instructions: Wipe clean with a damp towel and let air dry. Do not put into dishwasher. To Unlock the Pinzon Penguin Wine Opener: If the wine pull is not used correctly, the lever will lock itself. In order to release the mechanism: Place the wine pull over an empty wine bottle neck. Pull up and down in the action of opening a bottle of wine. Never force the handle or it may break.

5.0 out of 5 stars I could *not* believe my eyes, September 20, 2006

By	KK "KK" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

This wine opener is wonderful! I have used many openers since I began drinking wine and this by far is the easiest one I have ever put my hands on. In 2 seconds the bottle is uncorked - it's that easy! And wow - for the price??? How can you beat that? I highly recommend this product!

I could *not* believe my eyes the first time I saw someone use this Pinzon Wine Opener. It's hard to visualize from the picture, but it is SUPER-EASY, once you figure it out. It also does not require you to hold the bottom of the opener with one hand.
1) Set the bottom of the opener on the top of the wine bottle
2) Lift the handle upper wards - one single lift - and nuzzle the opener around the top of the wine bottle
3) Ease the handle down, which pushes the worm into the cork -- so easy you can't believe it and requires little strength.
5) Push the handle back down into its original position and the cork is out! No muss, no fuss, no cuss!

The opener is absolutely amazing and flawless in its design and function. Yes, even on the first try, I was able to open a bottle in about 3 seconds, including the cork removal from the screw!

Buy it. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECTLY EASY, November 7, 2006

By	Peggy "pab920" (Norfolk, VA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I own several styles and more expensive corkscrews, but this one is effortless. The foil cutter takes seconds to perfectly cut, then a few more seconds and you're pouring the wine. What really impressed me was the absolute ease of removing those usually challenging synthetic hard globs. You can barely tell the pucture site, so the more creative types could use real corks for wreaths, etc. The added bonus of an extra screw and a wine saver make this product an absolute fantastic buy. If it doesn't hold up, I'll write an addendum. My experience with their other products is also of high regard.
