Oxo Steel CorkPull Wine Opener Corkscrew

A variation on a classic design, the Oxo Steel CorkPull removes corks from your favorite wines without requiring strain or clumsy postures. Whereas most corkscrews slide in and then call for prying, the CorkPull removes a cork by rotating in the same direction until it is lifted out. An oversized turning knob with a soft grip adds in the action, and a handy foil cutter is built into the design. Made from die-cast stainless steel for durability, the CorkPull stands up to frequent use and cleans up easily by hand. For coordinating wine tools, check out Oxo's pour spouts and stoppers.

Customer Comments
After getting my finger pinched on a brass winged corkscrew I decided it was time to research a different design in wine openers. Considered an electric corkscrew but didn't want another item on my counter...plus they seem so TALL. This one is 6 3/4" tall and I think quite attractive in my kitchen tool drawer. I chose this OXO model because I like OXO products and it appeared more sturdy than the less expensive plastic model. It works effortlessly. You just place on the bottle turn and turn and keep turning the same direction and the cork comes all the way out. Reverse the turns to remove the cork. And best of all, no pinching or pulling. My only minor quibble is the foilcutter top is harder to get off than I would like. You squeeze the two indented "buttons" on the sides with one hand while lifting the top off with the other. The top is 2 3/4" wide. I can't squeeze both buttons with one hand so I have to press with my thumb, releasing one side then turn it over and press the other to remove the foilcutter. A man with larger hands and more strength probably could do it in one move. I would still highly recommend this corkscrew or cork pull or whatever you want to call this wine opener.
