Brabantia Classic Spiral Corkscrew | Black

After 2 years solid use, I can confirm that this is the easiest and best corkscrew ever - and I have used a fair few. The reason for writing this review is because of the number of times friends and family, highly impressed by my bottle opening skills, have purchased their own. One family member, with arthritic fingers, no longer needs to cajole his wife into opening a bottle. He now spends more time in the shed where his backup cellar and backup Brabantia corkscrew now resides.

I’m really pleased with this Brabantia corkscrew. It’s sooo sooo easy to use and works exactly as it should. You just place it on the wine bottle, twist clockwise and the cork comes out smoothly and effortlessly. No mess, no fuss.The corkscrew feels solid and well made, and best of all, has made opening a bottle of wine so easy.The foil cutter doesn’t seem to work but I honestly can’t fault the bottle opening process. Five stars from me.. I definitely recommend it.

As described. Good quality. Lightweight andHappy with it so far

Having recently misplaced the standard 'winged' corkscrew we had I decided to have a look around for another and came across this one which has received very positive reviews. This is the first time I've come across a bottle opener like this and Brabantia make good quality products so I was very interested to see the results.I have to admit that this is probably the easiest corkscrew I've ever used. I didn't have any issues using the cutting tool on the bottles I tried but I noticed a lot of the negative reviews related to this were from a couple of years ago, so perhaps the design for this part has been improved slightly? Once you've used the cutter to remove the foil simply stick this corkscrew on top of the bottle and start turning the handle. The handle is very easy to turn and should make it much easier for people with arthritis or poor wrist/finger strength.Once the cork has been removed, simply remove the corkscrew from the bottle and turn the handle the other way to extract the cork. However, this doesn't always work perfectly with narrow or plastic corks. To remove these I found I needed to use my finger to push the plastic slider part whilst unscrewing the handle. Not a biggie but something to be aware of.Great little corkscrew.Pros:- Brabantia brand with 5 years warranty- Hands down the easiest corkscrew to operate- Stands upright so can live in cupboard or on a work surface- Foil cutter was easy to use (at least I didn't have any issues)Cons:- Narrow and/or plastic corks are not as easy to remove. You can push the plastic slider down whilst turning the handle to extract them- Costs a lot more than a bog standard 'winged' corkscrew but it's a very unique and easy to use bottle opener- Doesn't have a cap bottle opener so you'll need another product to do that

It works fine takes the cork out very easy.The foil cut works ok and looks good and I think family will get these Christmas presents this year and the price was very good

This has to be the easiest way of removing the cork from a wine bottle that there is! I thought the 'waiter's friend' type was good even though it sometimes broke shards of glass off the bottle while levering the cork out, and I never got on with the two arm lever style as they never brought the cork fully out of the bottle. This Brabantia needs very little effort to turn the top round a few times while it screws into the cork and pulls it out. Removing the cork is just as simple; you turn the handle in the opposite direction and it just pops out. Fabulous!As for the foil cutter; it works. It took me a couple of tries to figure out the best way to use it (hold the corkscrew still and use your other hand to rotate the bottle, pushing it firmly against the cutter as you do so) and tbh there are faster ways to get the foil cover off, though the cutter does make a neat job of it.This corkscrew joins my Vino2 and Vacuvin as essential wine related items in the kitchen.Edit 1 Dec 2020: I wrote this review in Jan 2013. The corkscrew is still going strong and we use it in preference to any other corkscrew in the house. It's easy to use and reliable.

It’s never been so easy to open a bottle a wine! There’s no need to try and position the screw, just cut the foil with the built in foil cutter, pop over the top and start twisting. The first time I used I stopped when I got some resistance but you just keep spinning and POP! Also I don’t want to gloss over the foil cutter, it’s so easy, sharp and simple to remove the foil. I’m very impressed! I haven’t tried on any bottles with those awkward lips yet, but hoping even those won’t be a challenge for this!

This is amazing! I cannot use a conventional corkscrew, but this works like magic and never lets me down! Thoroughly recommend.

I open at least 4 wine bottles a night and I like to be quick. I frequently cut myself w my waiter's corkscrew thus wasting even more time while I have to clean and bandage my hand. I purchased this hoping it would help and it certainly does. The corkscrew is almost completely encased so your fingers do not come into contact it. the foil opener could be better but I find that when I apply pressure on one side while turning, it works perfectly. The foil comes cleanly off. Then You position this on to the cork and twist. The cork pops right out. It stays in the corkscrew and to remove it you have to twist some more. The cork pops right out of the encasement. Very easy and much quicker than any other opener I've used. As for durability, only time will tell. I've had it for only a week. It doesn't seem hefty but considering how little pressure is placed upon it when opening a bottle, I imagine it will last a while. I carry it in my shaker along w a paring knife, bottle top opener, beer bottle popper and waiter's corkscrew (just in case. I hope I'll never neeed it.) All fit comfortably inside.

Lindo e prático, não precisa por força para usa-lo

Thank you for still making an excellent product! I just replaced my 20+ year old Brabantia because I managed to crack the screw top ( of the old one)!! But I guess some plastic fatigue after opening more than 6000 bottles on 2 continents is not too shabby...I have really weak hands and fingers and this literally the only type of corkscrew that works every time. From smooth cutting of the top to effortlessly disengaging the cork from the neck. It works. XOXX
