This is a gadget that is especially appropriate today! (Yes we did!) Ahem. If you are like me and have a drawerful of wine openers that you can't figure out how to use, get thee a Screwpull. It is the easiest wine opener that you will ever use.
Here's how it works:
1. Remove the foil from the wine bottle
2. Set the Screwpull atop the bottle
3. Start turning.
That's it. Hold the sides firmly with one hand as you turn the handle with your other hand until the cork comes out. There is no twisting, adjusting those wingy things, setting the bottle between your legs as you puuuuullll the cork out. You don't have to worry about setting the screw exactly in the center. You won't push the cork through the neck of the bottle into the wine. The turning action of the Screwpull gets the cork all the way out easily and with almost no effort.
This is another kitchen gadget that I personally can't live without. Is it more expensive than a grocery store wine opener? Yes, but it will last years. Ours is at least 10-12 years old and is still working like a champ. Do you have one? Do you love it? Share!
