I am a Wine Educator at Wente Vineyards Wine Makers Studio in Livermore, CA.  I am always asked by customers how to easily and correctly open a bottle of wine.  I show them what has to be done, then tell them about this excellent Wine Opener.  It has a foil cutter  that is easy to use and the pulling out the cork out just takes holding the bottle and pressing down the key.  Getting the cork out of the opener is also very easy.  I use this at home with all my mine snob friends.
