that's just a guess but the thing looks spectacular and it took me along time to throw it away as I kept thinking the crack in the metal couldn't be so bad...but it only opened maybe 50 bottles of wine and then it snapped right off. Next time I will buy a really expensive one; right now it's back to the winged-supermarket variety which always works, though it hides in the draw instead of looking stylish on the bar.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas, mostly because of the great reviews it had gotten. Out of the 6 or so bottles we've opened in the last couple weeks, the cork has gone into the bottle at least 4 times...not the best result. I have owned a similar corkscrew in the past, so, I thought I knew how to use this one. This one is MUCH more difficult to use. It was less money, but, I wish I'd bought the other brand.

IF you are new to the world of wine, or a connoisseur, this is the corkscrew you want. When I opened the box, I was a little intimidated, as there are no instructions. But, you really can't mess it up. I do think taking the cork off is a little finger-fumbly, but it gets easier every time I use it. Definitely a must have.

I've used this product once since purchase and the cork came out smooth as butter. Much better than the cheap version of the product that I had before.
