Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of MIU France Zinc Alloy Connoisseur Corkscrew Wine Opener
Customer Review: MIU Connoisseur Corkscrew - help needed
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this in November, and enjoyed it so much I ordered several more as Christmas stocking stuffers. Suddenly it's stopped working; the corkscrew goes down properly, then when I pull the lever up, it comes back up, sans cork. I tried using the spare corkscrew, but it made no difference. The only thing I noticed is that a little piece of black plastic fell off the bottom. Don't know why that should matter, but then . . . If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.Customer Review: easiest corkscrew ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I've struggled with several other lever type corkscrews, and forget the bartender's friend (no friend of mine)! This corkscrew works well and is easy to use. I've had mine for a year and still haven't needed to use the spare screw. I'm buying another one for our wine club so I can no longer fight the myriad of corkscrews we have that I just can't make work (it's me, but why not get the product that works well for those of us who are mechanically challenged....)Customer Review: wine bottle opener
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not an expert at opening wine bottles. I lost a cork in the last bottle I tried to do by hand. This new opener is easy to use, removing the cork takes a little effort but it comes off the coil cleanly. It comes with a foil cutter and a holder to stand the opener in when not in use and the cutter fits into the holder as well. I tell all my friends, shop around then go to amazon's website, you can always find it for a better price and fast deliveries.Customer Review: Not Recommended for Synthetic Corks
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't used this corkscrew personally (I bought it for a gift), but I did notice that on the back of package, it says it's not recommended for synthetic corks. Many wineries (expecially smaller ones) are switching to synthetic corks, as real cork becomes more expensive, so this caught me by surprise. There's a lifetime guarantee on this product, but I wonder if they'd honor it if you use it on synthetic corks? Just something to consider when purchasing.Customer Review: Works well, hasn't fallen apart
Summary: 5 Stars
This is very easy to use. I've owned very similar designs from other manufacturers and they've broken or fallen apart without much work. This type of opener really takes away the "wrenching" necessary to get the cork out of the bottle. It makes the process far more controlled, manageable and less arm and shoulder action is taking place so you're far less likely to drop the bottle, hit it on something or hurt yourself. Definitely recommended.
