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.

4 out of 5 stars Works, so far   April 28, 2008
I bought this as a inexpensive replacement for a worn-out screwpull. The first one worked OK until it literally started to fall apart - first a plastic stopper, followed by a shaft, etc. Amazon was first class at replacing the unit, shipping me a new one as a replacement and taking the old one back. The second one has been working without any problems to date. Thus, I imagine that the first one was simply an outlier.

What was disappointing about this unit is the foil cutter, which doesn't work nearly as well as that of the Screwpull (MIU elected to save some money by not using sharpend wheels like the screwpull foil cutter does).


5 out of 5 stars Great Product   April 26, 2008
I am very pleased with this purchase! What a great product! The ease in which you can remove a cork from the bottle is amazing. The corkscrew has a solid construction that works without flaw every time! This is a great buy for the price. I have seen a lesser quality product for more than double the price! You will not regret this purchase!!!


5 out of 5 stars Actually not bad.   April 25, 2008
I bought my stepdad and myself a MIU corkscrew 5 ago. They were much more expensive back then, but both are still working fine and work well. I love how the corkscrew retracts from the cork after removing it from the bottle.

My only complaint is that both my stepdads and my foil removers (added extra for free) broke eventually. But this was after two years of opening ALOT of wine. Not bad though and foil removers are cheap so no points off for that. Besides, two years is pretty good and it doesnt affect the corkscrew in anyway.

The opener itself is pretty big for me because I put it in a drawer. My stepdad leaves his out so he doesn't mind the size.

Good overall wine bottle opener (and they include a spare corkscrew).
WELL worth the money at the price they are now on Amazon. I paid $80.00 each for ours at a wine shop 5 years ago. (and THAT was a good deal back then).
