Metrokane Velvet Corkscrew, Black

Product Description

Elegant continuous-turn self-pulling Velvet Corkscrew.

This corkscrew does its primary job easily and consistently. Without a doubt, this is the best corkscrew I've ever owned.

Where it's no so great is the built-in foil cutter. There are small metal blades along the inside of the grip, and the intent is that you should turn the corkscrew on its side, place the blades along the outside of bottle mouth, squeeze and turn. This works pretty well in probably 60 to 70 percent of the bottles I've tried it on. However, on some bottles, the reinforcing ring below the mouth is a little too high, and it prevents the blades from being able to reach the foil. So it works fine in most cases, but you'll probably want to have a dedicated foil cutter (or at least a knife or something) handy just in case.


This product works great. I have tried a couple of other corkscrews that just don't seem to be as easy as this one. Simply put it on the bottle, turn the handle, cork is gone, no effort needed.


It's a simple product, and it works. But you really have to squeeze the body of the corkscrew tight so it stays onto the bottle. It took me a few try's to get a system, but it's fine. It's just a little difficult when others use it and then need some assistance. It's like a quick wine opening class with the victim...


There are MANY different functional designs for corkscrews. The last design we used had two gear handles on the side, and an oval handle at the top. It worked OK, until the main screw snapped, after 5 years and probably 50 corks. But the screw travel distance was never enough to pull the cork all the way out. This Metrocane model ... just works. The big handle is easier to turn than the last, and you just keep turning while squeezing the lower half against the bottle-neck, and the cork walks right out - all the way ! Easy-peezy. It may not be quite as fast as those $100+ models, but for home use, and a few bottles at a time, it's a pleasure to use. And with the bigger handle, it takes less hand strength to operate.


The Metrokane Velvet Corkscrew has few moving parts and appears to be very sound. The dependability of your cork pulling device is crucial to the satisfaction of wine drinking, so the lack of complex breakable parts is an asset.
