Brabantia Classic Spiral Corkscrew | Black

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.

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.

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’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!

Any decent corkscrew should work flawlessly and this one does. From the metal foil cutter to the smooth corkscrew action this works exactly as you'd expect, even when you're opening a bottle after a few glasses have been quaffed. It's well designed such that you don't need to apply much pressure and there's no issues with corks disintegrating due to the way it ensures you hit the centre of the cork each time. As with most Brabantia products it would be great if it was a little cheaper but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended

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

I received this corkscrew an hour ago and have already tested it - I can echo other reviewers' comments: this performs really well!!! I had been a cheap-skate and ordered the Brabantia Quickpull. The one I received yesterday was faulty and is being returned. But - even if it had been perfect - it was not of such good design in any way as this sister-product from the same manufacturer - the Classic. So to anyone who may be hesitating between the two, I'd say do spend the extra couple of pounds on this one - it's well worth it. Solid construction, neat design, and most importantly it does what it says! All in all it seems to be a very good buy - and the fact that I 'road-tested' it this morning means that we now have the perfect excuse to enjoy a glass of Pouilly Fumé with lunch!!! :-)

Great product!

Schnelle Lieferung, sehr gute Qualität. Sieht sehr gut aus und funktioniert einwandfrei 👍 Klare Empfehlung 👍

Have had a Brabantia trash can for 13 years and have been very impressed with quality, durability and easy use. The Brabantia corkscrew is a little different in appearance and has a different mechanism to most old school corkscrews. First time I used had trouble removing the foil and had to use my old WMF foil cutter. The corkscrew worked perfectly. Second time - got the foil cutter to work and the corkscrew worked like a charm. Only concern going forward is whether the plastic will be durable. Bought a spare to be on the safe side.

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.
