Professional wine connoisseurs favor the Screwpull corkscrew for its effortless and split-second cork removal, and this Screwpull set, complete with foil cutter and stopper, makes a wonderful gift for the at-home wine consumer. First introduced in 1979, the Screwpull Lever model has been through many improvements since to achieve the reputation it has today. The uniquely designed wine opener works by cranking the handle forward and lining the worm up in the center of your wine bottle?s cork. Bringing the handle back upward drives the worm into the cork and then cranking it swiftly down again lifts it out of the bottle. Another swift up-and-down motion ejects the cork from the worm. By simultaneously squeezing the grips, you can catch the cork before it drops and stains your tablecloth. Screwpull?s S00023 Lever model is constructed with a high-quality mechanism that lasts up to five times longer than other Lever models. In addition, it has a Teflon-coated screw for easier cork release that is guaranteed to open 2,000 bottles of wine before dulling. As an added bonus this Lever model comes with Screwpull?s patented four-wheel foilcutter and an attractive stainless-steel stopper with a rubber seal that preserves wine for up to two days. Screwpull covers this corkscrew under a 10-year guarantee.
