Rating: - The best corkscrew!
The Screwpull corkscrew (okay, "wine opener") is by far the easiest and clever I've owned. Its non-stick coated and sharp-ended worm glides into the cork and pulls it out cleanly and effortlessly. Because of the coating, it is less likely to crumble a cork. The sides of the device keep the pull in place so you're able to guide the worm straight down the center.

As a former waitress, I always hated the metal and bulky corkscrews favored by most of my friends. The worms were always too thick and never sharp enough; the rings meant to keep the opener on the bottle neck had a tendency to slip or list, leading to a crooked insertion. I preferred the simple waiter corkscrew - until I found the Screwpull. Now I use nothing else. My only adjustment has been putting the bottle on the table to open it. (With a waiter's corkscrew, you hold the bottle.)

This is a great gift for the wine lover. While you're at it, buy one for yourself.

Rating: - Frugal Best
You can spend enormous sums of money on fancy, engineer-designed corkscrews, and still not equal the simplicity and dependability of the simple Screwpull. I have owned mine for over five years, and it is as good today as the day it was bought. I use it to open every type of corked bottle, from new, stiff corks to old, fragile and dry corks. I have NEVER lost a cork into the bottle or broken a cork off. The wide base of the Screwpull sits comfortably over the top of all bottle types, including the newer wide-rim bottles that are popular with California wineries. The teflon coated screw is long enough to pull even the biggest corks. So, there are fancier models to choose from -- many of which are very good -- but if you want an inexpensive and fool-proof corkscrew, the simple Screwpull is the way to go!

Rating: - great wine opener
We purchased this wine opener 12 years ago on the recommendation of a sales clerk at a kitchen supply store. At the time I thought $20 was a lot to pay for a corkscrew, but after using it at least once a week for the past 12 years I can't imagine using another type of wine opener.
