MIU Connoisseur Corkscrew

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.

I purchased several of these cork screws thinking they would be great Christmas gifts. Everyone I purchased has broken. The screw head has pulled out of the unit. You can put it back in but it won't stay.


Plastic piece at the bottom broke off after ~1 month of use. Of course, this was 1 week after Amazon return policy expired. Would definitely not purchase this brand again.


This is a great corkscrew. I had a similar one before but it was not working properly anymore. It is now so easy to open any bottle with this new one.


This is hard to use and prone to breaking. The foil cutter breaks after 2 times.


I was given the "MIU Connoisseur Corkscrew" as a Christmas gift two years ago. Since then, we have used it several times a month (I drink a glass of red wine every day, medicinally of course :-) with the same great results every time.

The device is well made and easy to use, if/when it happens to break I will replace it with another.

Highly recommended!


I'm very disappointed in this purchase! My parents have a corkscrew that has the same design but obviously by a better manufacturer. Tonight I decided to try to open a bottle of wine with it for the first time and it was AWFUL!! I am going to go back to the old cheap corkscrew I use on camping trips. I had to seriously struggle to get the screw into AND out of the cork. I'm 27 and very active but it was a workout trying to use this thing. I shouldn't have had to struggle nearly as much as I did. I tried another cork right after, and it was just as hard. Granted it was used... however the seller said it was like new. From what I can tell it is just seriously cheap design.


I bought this item thinking that I would have a dependable corkscrew. But after relatively light use a bit of plastic broke and the corkscrew simply didn't work any longer. I noticed several other similar reviews. It was a waste of my money and I feel that my purchase price should be refunded.


Purchased 2 of these, one for me, one as a gift in Dec. 2007. Initially worked great, but both broke within 6 months after what I'd consider light to moderate use (one to three bottles opened per week). Pick a different one.


Like others I bought this item only to have it fail after 2 months. For the first month, it worked well hence the two star review. Since there is no path to repair (deliberately I suspect), I'll buy a different brand from some other source.


I owned the thing for about 2 years, during which it worked as advertised. Was actually very pleased with it until, all of a sudden, it stopped lifting the cork out of the bottle. Instead of lifting the cork out, the plunger just unscrewed, leaving the cork in the bottle. Examination revealed that a small plastic part had broken, rendering the product useless. A part, I might mention, that was not replaceable. What good is solid metal construction, if a small plastic part is on the critical path? So much for lifetime warranty.
