Metrokane Golden Rabbit, Titanium

Product Description

Offered by metrokane, the world's leading line of wine accessories, this Golden Rabbit Corkscrew is the "crown jewel" of its Rabbit line. As beautiful as it is clever, the award-winning corkscrew is made of all die-cast metal, then triple-plated with titanium gold, an extra-durable alloy that matches the luster of gold plating. The Rabbit opens all types of wine bottles, pulls a cork in 3 seconds and automatically releases cork. Features include hard-metal gears, ergonomically shaped handles, a patented bottle-cap design and an easy-to-grip finish. Includes a spare spiral and a matching die-cast metal, titanium gold-plated foil cutter. Imported

From a design standpoint, this is a very good product. But the documentation is pathetic, and was clearly never tested with new / real users. There is no explanation of how it's supposed to work. That understanding is very helpful: with it, you'll never have trouble, and will marvel at the clever design. Let's get started.

Have a bottle of wine handy on which you've already used the supplied (and very good) little foil cutter to remove the foil over the cork.

Take the unit in your hand and look at the movable parts. The overhead lever that swings outward / downward and then is reversed / brought back over the top - moves the spiral corkscrew up and down. To see this, operate the overhead lever with one hand while holding the clamping "side handles" with the other. When you move the overhead handle the corkscrew rotates.

Why is the corkscrew turning? Because it's forced to do that as it goes through a "guide" (the metal collar with gray plastic center). The gray plastic piece has an internal spiral track that forces the corkscrew to rotate as it passes through.

Here's the critical point: as long as the guide mechanism is locked in place and can't move up or down, the guide forces the corkscrew to rotate when going through.

What if this guide were locked in place on the `down-stroke,' but could move vertically on the `up-stroke'? Then the guide would force the corkscrew to rotate on the way down (so the corkscrew would penetrate the cork), but the guide would stay attached to (and _not_ rotate) the corkscrew on the way up - thus pulling the cork.

When the unit is operated correctly this is exactly what happens. But how?

Look more closely: Before using the Rabbit's `side-handles' to hold the wine bottle neck, the guide is locked in place by two protruding spring-loaded latches and can't move vertically. Try it: it won't budge. (You can actually see these small latches projecting over the top of the guide and keeping it from moving - by looking in the area above and to the far rear of the guide, near the smooth rod.)

On the other hand, when the clamping handles are squeezed onto the neck of a bottle, these latches above the guide _retract_, releasing their hold on the guide so it can move upward.

Do this now: Take your bottle of wine and, with the overhead lever rotated to its fully outward / downward position, place the guide directly over the cork and grip the neck of the bottle _firmly_ with the clamping side handles.

Look at the latches described above: they have retracted, and no longer restrain the guide from moving upward. This has no effect during the down-stroke / cork penetration phase, since the guide is already as low as it can go. Because the guide can't move, it forces the corkscrew to rotate when you operate the overhead lever - thus penetrating the cork. Perform this down-stroke.

Now watch what happens when the overhead lever is pulled back to withdraw the cork (while you at the same time continue to grip the bottle neck firmly with the side levers). Because the guide can now move vertically with the corkscrew, it imposes no rotation on the corkscrew. The corkscrew stays inside the cork as the overhead lever is moved outward / downward, and the cork is extracted. Do it. You now have the cork out of the bottle, suspended above the bottle neck, and are still gripping the side handles around the bottle neck.

Release your hold on the side handles and move the Rabbit away from the bottle. The cork is still attached to the corkscrew. Re-grip the side handles with one hand and once again operate the overhead lever, bringing it all the way back to its fully closed position again (as if you were on the original down-stroke into the cork).

As you get to the very end of the stroke, you will feel resistance and will hear a click: the latches have snapped back into place over the top of the guide, locking it in place. The guide is once again `captured' - and cannot move vertically. The cork is still attached to the corkscrew.

Finally, move the overhead lever back yet again to its fully open position (as if pulling the cork from the bottle). This time the latches _don't_ retract (because you're not using the side handles to grip the bottle neck) - so the latches again keep the guide from moving, and this forces the corkscrew to rotate `in reverse' as it passes upward through the guide. The corkscrew backs out of the cork and the cork drops off. It takes all of a few seconds once you get the hang of it.

Understanding the operating principles should help. None of this is well explained (or, indeed, explained at all) in the almost non-existent documentation.

We'll, this is made of entirely die cast metals. With all other 'Rabbits', there are some components made of rubber and plastic...with this one no. And it is solid metal coated with Titanium (not "spray painted") and will not corrode as other metals will. I must admit that $200 is steep but I purchased mine as a Gold Box special for $99 and I absolutely love it! Also, this carries a ten year warranty which is 10 timess the standard warranty.


I have a metrokane rabbit. Pretty - Yes, worked well - Yes for about a year. Then the mechanism came apart. Metrokane WILL NOT stand behind their product for more than 12 months. Which I find amazing considering that a knock-off of the rabbit can be purchased for about $30. Buy a knock-off they work as just as well. Don't believe that the additional cost of the rabbit gives you a superior product.


I think it may be more beautiful than the picture! It's definitely even shinier than shown. The gold tone is a little darker than real gold, but very striking.

This thing is HEAVY! My kitchen scale says it weighs 2 pounds, 5 ounces. I personally love that, since it's such solid construction. Everything is metal, including the "gears," which was important to me.

In case anyone is confused like I was, it's die-cast metal, plated in gold-colored titanium. I don't think there's any gold in it, nor is it solid titanium. Probably obvious, but... Also, it does have the nice bristly rubber pads on the handle like the other Rabbits, which makes it very comfortable. The black-and-clear clamshell box that it comes in is basically the same as for others.

Functionally, the action is very smooth. I just opened a bottle and it moved cleanly.

If asked for a "con," I was disappointed to notice that the foil cutter has only two cutting wheels, unlike the four in my original Rabbit. But it didn't make a different on the bottle I just opened.

I can't wait to invite people over and wow them.

Pedrini Wine & Bar Automatic Corkscrew

Product Description

pedrini's Wine and Bar selection is dedicated to the Art of Drinking! The unmistakable pedrini design uses the brilliance of steel with stylish silver colour accents and becomes the perfect companion of the magic and friendly atmosphere of your home bar. Automatic Corkscrew is chrome plated with sharpened spiral.

Our first Pedrini corkscrew broke after about 20 years of service and so I bought this one on Amazon. When it arrived, the corkscrew appeared to be of lighter weight and sturdiness but other than that was identical in function. Eager to try it out, we tried to open a bottle of wine capped with a synthetic cork. Much to our surprise instead of pulling the cork, the corkscrew itself was pulled out of the cork and the cork held fast. Fortunately we had a manual corkscrew which pulled the cork with no problem. After examining the corkscrew, it appears that the diameter of the corkscrew shaft is smaller and doesn't exert enough pulling force to do the job. I did not try the corkscrew on a bottle of wine with a natural cork stopper to see if it could do the job. I don't think anyone wants to have their wine selection dictated by the type of cork their corkscrew will pull. I think it is reasonable to expect a corkscrew to pull any cork evey time so I would recommend you pass on this product.


I found this device when I was house setting for my cousin. It took me about 10 minutes to figure it out how to use it. My lever type corkscrew broke eralier this year and the cheap regular waiter type corkscrew is not working out well for me, so I am buying one of these soon.


Maybe it is me...I have small hands...but this is very difficult to use.
The point does not want to go in the cork....it took me 15 minutes, and I almost quit...till after literally pushing and turning, it finally started to work...my advice...look for another product!

Arcosteel 1764 Corkscrew Pro, Wall Mount

Product Description

arcosteel Corkscrew Pro; Zinc Alloy; Wall Mount; Color Box

this product is difficult to use. You have to hold the bottle tightly under it or ti will not penitrate the cork. I'm back to using my old cork remover. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!


Not Recommended! Holding the wine bottle in place while your cork it is almost impossible. Use the "rabbit" or other popular corkers.....not this one.


This thing looks very impressive and is built pretty well (except that mine has a small crack in the wood handle). However, it ain't that easy to use. As a matter of fact it takes a bit of practice to get used to. The first few bottles I did ended up shooting red wine all over my pantry. Actually ended up having to do some repainting. The secret is in the handle. Make sure you lift it all the way up, go all the way done, and all the way up again. You have to do this to make sure the threads of the screw attached to the pigtail engage. Otherwise, the thing will not twist enough. Just watch the mechanism through the slits on the side... It is also a bit difficult to hold the bottle in place while you are working the handle. I use it pretty often so have gotten used to it but, there are other simpler and just as effective tools (e.g. fork puller thingamajig) but none as impressive and gaudy looking as this monster...

Oenophilia Coutale Plus Corkscrew

Product Description

This oenophilia Coutale Plus Corkscrew is a radical remake of the traditional waiter's corkscrew. This amazing wine opener features a Teflon-coated spiral for effortless cork extraction, as well as a foilcutter. Just screw the Teflon worm into the bottle, position the boot and gently press the handle down to extract the cork. Makes a great gift or present to yourself.

It took me a while to warm to this waiters corkscrew as I am reasonably adept with a classic waiters corkscrew. The foil cutter works very nicely with a turn of the wrist and the teflon coated corkscrew itself very quickly and easily bores into a cork. This Oenophilia corkscrew is both sturdily made and very nicely finished and designed.

It differs from a classic corkscrew in that there is a small hook which you need to engage over the bottle lip. You then push down on the handle to open your wine bottle. This process takes a bit of learning and coordination but less so than a classic corkscrew. Overall this is a very nice wine/kitchen gift/gadget which I enjoy using.
