5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant and efficient corkscrew but not quite the best., October 23, 2002

By	darkschewitsch - See all my reviews

I collect corkscrews. The Elegance is the top of the line for the Screwpull series of corkscrews. It is efficient and looks like a work of art, and makes a great gift.

It comes with a stand, unlike most similar models, and the stand can rest on your shelf or be mounted on the wall. The stand occupies a large footprint on your shelf.

The included Screwpull foil cutter is the best available, but both hands are required to remove it from the stand.

The unit is a bit heavy, even for guys. In combination with the floppy arms, the heaviness makes it somewhat awkward to use. Once positioned, there is no speedier cork removal available; but it requires a bit of arm strength, particularly for a sticky cork. My wife doesn't like it. After the cork has been pulled, it is easily released from the unit

Overall, I believe that the best corkscrew for most people is the Winemaster (by Vacu Vin). It is less cumbersome to use and requires minimal effort. It looks good and has a small footprint on your shelf. Its included foil cutter works very well and can be removed from the unit and replaced with one hand. As with the Elegance, after the cork has been pulled, it is easily released from the unit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indulge Yourself!, November 27, 2002

By A Customer

Definately not a necessity, but absolutely a pleasure to use. Comfortably solid and heavy in your hands, after pulling the first cork you'll be looking for excuses to open more wine! Comes with a replacement worm, but I haven't worn out the first one after a year of normal use. The foil cutter works well, the stand is sturdy.

Spendy, yes, but if you're looking for a fabulous gift for your wine loving friend, or a way to spoil yourself, you won't regret this purchase.
