Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)....but a solid corkscrew. Love the deeply-hinged boot. Makes extracting longer corks a snap. The hinge action and overall construction is superior in every way to the ubiquitous Pulltap corkscrew.
My big problem with it is the bulk. It has a very wide handle. Not a problem if you keep it in a drawer in the kitchen, but too big to comfortably carry in a pocket; as I need to as I'm a bartender at a wine bar. If you want something with the same design but in a slimmer form, seek out the original Coutale. I found the original Coutale corkscrew for $15 at a certain winery in Paso Robles co-owned by a certain famous family from France's Rhone Valley. (If that ain't a hint, chances are you aren't much of a wine snob.) That's what I carry at work now.
I open dozens of bottles a night at work and I'm very particular about the harware I use. I've tried everything from cheap distributor give-aways to Pulltaps to Coutale/Screwpull to Chateau Laguiole (the carbon fiber Eric Beaumard edition is quite nice) and this Screwpull/Coutale design is by far the easiest to use.
