Ah So Two Prong Wine Cork Remover with Bottle Opener - Professional Stainless Steel Puller - Extractor For Opening & Vintage Collecting - for Connoisseurs & Collectors to Uncork

This product was sent to me by the company to review honestly and objectively. When I first opened the package i was a little intimidated, so I asked my husband to try it first. He said it wouldn't work, so I waited and tried it myself. The first time I used the wine opener, it performed as advertised! The cork came out undamaged, and the bottle opened in a matter of seconds. Why am I pleasantly surprised? Most wine bottle openers require more strength than I have. Traditional corkscrews are too hard for me to open the bottle, so I actually bought an electric wine opener. If only I had known about the As So Wine Opener sooner, I would have led with that! The best part is the undamaged cork: you can re cork the bottle and the wine stays fresh. The wine opener is heavy compared to what it looks like, as it was made with durable metal. It even comes in a little case. The only downside I see is the simple directions given. There is a short 3-step instruction guide on the back of the case, which some people might not follow. While I could follow it easily, my husband couldn't figure it out.

Years ago my Dad had one of these and I inherited it. I had forgotten how easy these cork pullers are to use once, just don't be in a rush. I'm buying more for relatives and friends, especially for those who preserve wine with same cork and also save corks.

Tried the opener on a few bottles. Took it on a few trips. The following is a conclusion on whether or not one should buy this or any other similar product like this. 1. Travel. It's really, really, really nice to know this opener is TSA compliant. I took it through checkpoint on hand carried backpack. The rule is that the opener cannot have a blade. Most corkscrew setup has a blade to cut the foil and that makes it noncompliant for TSA carry on. Checked bag is OK but not carried on. Anyway, this device does not have a blade. The two prongs are not considered blade although some TSA looked at it for a minute but then decided it is not a blade. So, yes, it was carry on compliant. That is very good for traveling. 2. But because there is no blade, you will need another method to remove the foil. I ended up having to use a dinner fork to pick open the foil to expose the cork before this device could be used. So.... it's a conundrum. I was able to bring this on carry on but I needed another gadget to cut the foil. 3. Function. Yes, it does work! It will require some strength tho. The inserting part took the most work. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle...shove, wiggle..shove...wiggle. Took a while but finally after fully inserted then you can twist ie turn turn turn while pulling on the handle. That removes the cork intact. 4. But...is it superior to standard corkscrew?? Well, yes and no. The No part is that it isn't any less effort exerting and not as easy as it seemed. However, the Yes part is that it almost guarantees success each time. And the fact that the corkscrew can be tricky and can break the cork into crumbs...happened to me and to lots of people. So, Yes, it is superior to use this device than a corkscrew but be advised that it isn't like inserting hot knife into butter. There is still work involved. 5. Reinsert cork. Now that is something you cannot do with a corkscrew. Reversing the removal instruction you can truly reinsert the cork. But that said, I have not once needed to. I usually just half cork the half bottle....doesn't everybody?? It's not like I am going to store a half drunk bottle for a few more years to age? Right? I don't see the purpose of actually opening a bottle and recork the bottle fully....there is no purpose. Once opened, oxygen enters into the bottle..it needs to be consumed with prejudice. There's no saving the bottle. So half corking works just fine. One needs to drink the whole thing within a few days anyway. So, yes, it can insert a cork whole..possible, true, but no practical reason to. So it's a brilliant feature with no applicable practicality. Oh well. Lastly, the puller handle doubles as a cap opener. This is for all you beer drinkers. The cap opener easily pops off a cap. There's not a lot to be said here. No, there's not a recapping feature on this device. Apparently cork can be reinserted but a cap cannot be re-crimpped on to a bottle. Other aspects: relatively light weight. Metal prongs is still functional after 10+ bottles.. still TSA compliant.. Novelty value is a plus. Your friends will go Oooooooohhhh amazingly when seeing it work the first time. Alright there you have it! Hope you gained some points to consider before deciding on buying one or not. Best of luck!!

Got this as a gift for my husband who is a wine lover and really liked that this was a different take on the typical design of a wine opener. He found it easy to use and there’s less likelihood for cork breakages. It comes in a nice gift tin and box so you don’t even need to wrap it! Wonderful quality and we’re very impressed.

Used on a damaged cork that was cored out by a cork screw style opener. Easy peasey. Very well built product

I love the look of this. I ended up actually pulling this out and using it for our impromptu holiday party because we usually get the easy twist off wine, but a couple of people accidentally bought for kind with corks and so I ended up using this instead of keeping it for a gift. But I'm glad I had it on hand and it functioned well. It doesn't take up a lot of space in the drawer and it pulled the cork out of all the bottles first try. And I can't say that about a lot of the wine openers that I've had in the past.

This product is absolute garbage. The prongs are curved OUTWARD, so it's next to impossible to get them into the bottle next to the cork. The prongs ended up continually digging into the cork instead of going next to it, and trying to insert it just pushed the cork further and further down until it went INTO the wine and lodged there. Wine ruined. This piece of crap went into the trash right next to the ruined wine, and I bought a real corkscrew. Do NOT waste your money on this product.

This wine opener is a little different than screw-type ones in that it has 2 prongs that slide down the side of a cork to gently pull it out. It works great for older bottles where the cork has gotten dry and crumbly. To use it, I align it at the top and give it a few taps down with my palm. It works really well. I’m going to get some more of these to use as stocking stuffers this Christmas. It’s the perfect little thing that not everyone would think to get for themselves. It’s well made and looks like I spent a lot more for it than I did.

Instead of the old fashioned way of opening wine bottles by extracting the cork, this bold new product lets you open your wine bottle by pushing the cork all the way down into the wine - an incredible idea I never would've thought of myself. But why stop there when you could just skip the middleman and open the bottle by smashing it on the ground?

El material es de acero inoxidable, se observa duradero y la caja da buena presentación, también funciona de destapador de corcholata le llaman fichas también, las botellas de vidrio.

Recommend it. Value for money

Excelente para abrir los vinos y evitar que el corcho se rompa, materiales finos y resistentes. Tal ves sin experiencia se te complique algo, llegado el caso nada que abrir un par de botellas no arregle.

Not what I expected. Not smooth to insert in the cork. Quality mediocre
