5.0 out of 5 stars The Wonderful Screwpull Wax Remover!
It's about time a product like this came out! For those who have difficulty opening a bottle of wine because of that darn wax sealer, your prayers have been answered!

It makes life even easier to enjoy a good bottle of wine. Why should you have to struggle opening a great '82 Bordeaux or a spectacular '97 California Cab?

I also recommend (if I may) ANY product from...

1.0 out of 5 stars Hasn't worked for me once
I recieved this as a Christmas present and so far it's 0 for 4 in removing the wax seals from wine bottles. This has happened on 4 separate bottles, each a different brand, so the problem lies with the device itself and not a particular brand's bottle.

This review is from: Screwpull Wax Remover, Black (Kitchen)
I recieved this as a Christmas present and so far it's 0 for 4 in removing the wax seals from wine bottles. This has happened on 4 separate bottles, each a different brand, so the problem lies with the device itself and not a particular brand's bottle.

Usually this device only manages to cut a shallow circle into the wax seal; if the wax seal is not at the very top of the bottle's lip, the blade is simply not long enough to cut entirely through. In the one instance where it did cut through the wax entirely, it wouldn't remove the resulting plug. Mostly it just manages to mangle the wax seal and simply make it more difficult to remove the old fashioned way.

You can tell from the first moment you lay your hands on it, it's a cheaply made device. The plastic is brittle, the design is clumsy, and it's ineffective as well. So save your money and keep your pocket knife, as for now, it's still the best tool for this job.

I also recommend (if I may) ANY product from Screwpull. Some people (like myself) still have a little trouble using a waiter's corkscrew...even though I am still trying :)
