Pedrini Black and Satin 6-Inch Basic Corkscrew

Unleash an aromatic Syrah or Pinot Noir with this corkscrew from Pedrini. Since founder Giuseppe Pedrini first conceived the double lever corkscrew in 1942, the Italian company has offered functional and attractive corkscrews for aspiring wine connoisseurs. Modestly elegant with a black and white design, this double lever corkscrew features a standard spiral and a cap lifter for easy cork withdrawal. The compact corkscrew measures 6 inches in length. --Jessica Reuling

Customer Comments
I found the Pedrini double lever opener to be a good buy. There are many others which look similar, but look closer. The Pedrini has a true wound-metal screw while many others only give you a die-cast screw. The difference is important as the die-cast style has a thick solid center to the screw, so it must displace more cork while turning thus increasing the effort and the risk of cork splitting. The diecast screw is also not nearly as strong as the wound-metal and can crack and break; it is also heavier. It is a good value, a good manufacturer and a good choice.
