Amazon.com Product Description
The next best thing to an in-house sommelier, this professional-quality wine opener offers the same impressive performance and stylish design as corkscrews that cost far more. Made from durable, nickel-plated, zinc alloy with easy-grip, ergonomic handles, it uses metal gears to extract corks in seconds. The entire process requires minimal effort, and best of all, there are never bits of mangled cork floating around in the bottle afterwards. This MIU France wine opener comes with an extra corkscrew, an attractive presentation stand, and a foil cutter to prepare bottles for opening. This product is dishwasher-safe, and has a lifetime warranty.

I am a disabled vet with one good hand, this opener can not be easier to use. A simple squeeze of the handle, depress the lever, and your wine is un-corked. Do the same in reverse while holding the cork and you have the cork intacted for re-corking. We love it!

Opening wine was never so easy. Cut the foil, grasp the bottle, pump the lever, and you're done. Easy to use, even for a klutz like me.

I am amazed at this product!! I am newly single after many years and realized that my wine bottle opener was the pits.
This product is easy -- incredibly so -- and sturdy. I am in wine heaven!!
Beautiful and practical June 20, 2006

Not only is this item extremely well made, it actually works - and works fantastic. De-corking takes a matter of seconds and is about as idiot proof as it gets.
I'm not sure what one reviewer was complaining about; how it wasn't working on synthetic corks. Perhaps he doesn't know how to use the opener, but there is absolutely no issue with synthetic corks... I actually think it works better with them than standard cork - corks.
The only complaint, if you can call it that, is that this opener is not exactly a small device, and I wouldn't it expect it to fit into too many utility drawers, but 'hey' I happen to like the way it looks and I keep it displayed on my bar in it's "stand." I just like that fact that it doesn't look or feel cheap and even more so, that it works beautifully.
