Prestige Waiters Corkscrew By Coutale Sommelier - Blackwood - Handmade and Sustainable Pinewood Crate - French Patented Spring-Loaded Double Lever Wine Bottle Opener for Bartenders and Gifts

I bought this wine key for work because it looked fancy but was also sturdy. On those fronts, it delivered exactly what was promised. However, it isn't very good at quickly opening wine bottles, which is kind of the point of having a waiter's key in the first place. After a few weeks of use, the foil cutter has dulled a little, and the hinge only opens a little more than 90 degrees, making it a little more difficult to center the corkscrew in the cork. It isn't the end-all solution. breaker, because these are more user-friendly than time-consuming issues, but for the price, I was expecting a lot more. It would probably be ideal for use at home or as a gift, but not for speed or convenience.

The box is fantastic. The wine key is one of my favorites. I've worked as a server in fine dining restaurants since 2005, and this bag has a nice weight to it. It opens smoothly, and the hinge lever is the best I've ever seen. I've experimented with a variety of styles, including laguoile and double hinged. When it comes to functionality, efficiency, and a solid feel, nothing compares in my opinion. I bought the rosewood, and it's stunning. However, buying a Laguoile would be solely for the purpose of flaunting a sleek, expensive wine opener that does have a more elegant beauty to the eye than the Prestige, but for my line of work, I need it to open wine without flinching, and that hinge is AMAZING. The shipping went off without a hitch.

I felt obligated to put it through its paces before handing it over. The double lever action and high build quality were important factors in my decision. This corkscrew isn't going to let you down. It's constructed in a tank-like manner. Every feature is well-thought-out and well-executed. Developed. A worm with double strength is something I've never seen before. There's no way a cork can stand a chance. The spring-loaded double lever boot is twice the thickness of other openers. The two-step lever made opening bottle after bottle a breeze. Never use a cork that has been torn. It's a joy to hold, and I expect it to be passed down for generations. If the wooden box it came in was lined, this would be a great item to put on display at the bar to get some extra oohs and ahhs. The money was well spent. I am confident that giving this gift will not embarrass me.

It's a complete letdown for the price. The wine key's other features are overshadowed by its sticky label cutter. I've WD- in there. For several nights in a row, I put 40 on it with little luck. Although I am not a designer, I believe that the solution to this problem could have been so simple. I've read a lot of other reviews on Amazon and other wine sites about this issue, and they weren't lying. The worm is extremely durable, as is the handle. The cutter, however, is an exception. yikes. Yes, the tiny wood box makes it presentable as a thoughtful gift, but that's a minor consolation. Get the second one.

It's extremely well-made. It has a good deal of weight to it and appears solid and substantial. br>br>I have a couple of similar openers that I like, but this one is not only better made, but also more attractive. The steel is beautifully machined and has a lovely satin finish. All of the hinged parts open more smoothly and easily than my other openers of the same type. br>br>I had no choice but to put the Prestige through its paces-- It worked smoothly and easily when I used it to open a nice 2013 Napa cab. I was unsure about the double hinge at first, but after watching an instructional video on U-Haul, I decided to give it a try. When I tried it, the opener worked smoothly and naturally, and I was completely unaware of the process. It went on without a hitch and with ease. br>br>I purchased the "Blackwood Prestige," and I'm so pleased with it that I'm thinking of ordering the "Stainless Prestige" as well! Buy it - br>br> You will be pleased - Cheers! br>br>Joseph br>br>Joseph br>br>Jose.

I recently replaced a $70 double-glazed window with a new one. I purchased a hinged opener from a reputable company. a well-known online wine merchant- which was a complete failure- with such splendor This is half the price of the original and works flawlessly. I had my doubts about the spring season at first. I had my doubts about the loaded double hinge until I tried it. It performs admirably. I purchased the blackwood model, which is a work of art, and I ordered two more for gifts after using it once.

The corkscrew is a favorite of mine and my husband's. We've been using Laguiole for a long time. The worm slowly breaks down over time. The Coutale is a lot more durable, and it's a lot easier to use for me. We purchased a second to keep in our carry-on luggage. They are far superior to Laguiole in our opinion, and they are also significantly less expensive; the corkscrew is an excellent value. We strongly suggest it.

They both perform admirably and are a joy to work with - The Coutale, on the other hand, is the better of the two. The . The two metal parts that push against the top of the bottle in the Barvivo one are a tad too far apart (it's an open U), resulting in a poor grip on the bottle. The Coutale one is fantastic.
