After decades of fighting with non-cooperative cork screws that broke, left cork shavings in the bottle, and generally defeated the purpose of opening a bottle - to RELAX with a glass of wine, I have finally found a friend in the Nouveaux Electric Wine Opener. Its as simple to use as 1,2,3 - (1)Place wine opener on the bottle, (2)press the button, (3)cork off, period! Then just pour and enjoy your wine, Aaaah... life is good!
