- hotwine - 12-04-2000 I picked up one of these little gas-powered gizmos today and just now gave it a try. Slick! The foil cutter works easily, the needle penetrates the cork, a press of the button, and foop! Out comes the cork. And with no cork-crumbs floating in the wine, as has been the case with my old winged behemoth. And one more smooth motion pushes the cork off the needle. I like it. No muss, no fuss. $19.95. - mrdutton - 12-04-2000 Be careful, I've heard horror stories about bottles blowing-up before the cork pops out!

Drew - hotwine - 12-04-2000 Thanks for the warnings! |
