content: I'm not a wine connoisseur, but I do like a good Cab or Merlot on occasion. Until now I was opening my wine bottles with a free cork screw I got at the local liquor store. It's worked fine for years, you screw the corkscrew into the bottle, hold the bottle tightly and pull out the cork. It does require a little effort.But this baby requires none, you put over the top of the bottle, screw the skinny screw in, pull gently down on the levers and you've effortlessly opened your bottle.
