- girlperson1 - 01-25-2003 I bought this corkscrew and absolutely LOVE it! http://www.corkscrew.com/sales_monopol_spindle.html - Drew - 01-25-2003 Hope you didn't spend the $37.50 as advertised at that site, those types of corkscrews can be found for around $5 or so each in many stores. BTW, it is an effective style and very sturdy. Drew - girlperson1 - 01-26-2003 That same cork screw is going for $65.00 here at wines.com Where can you find it for $5? Let me know. - Drew - 01-26-2003 No I meant that style. It's a very sturdy style, not many parts and lasts a long time. The stainless steel pushes up the price. Drew - girlperson1 - 01-26-2003 I agree...it's VERY sturdy. It's heavy, well-balanced and works with no straining at all. Sort of takes the fun out of having your wine fight back as you try to pull the cork.

I, personally, don't like this style of corkscrew. I prefer the waiter's friend style. The brand I like is Pulltap's. - Kcwhippet - 02-12-2003 When we travel we carry both a waiter's friend (a very nice brushed stainless steel model given us by our son) and a Screwpull pocket model we got on sale for $12.95 (about half price). I feel the worm styles work much better than the helix styles, particularly on older bottles where the cork may be softening. - Auburnwine - 02-12-2003 A friend gave me the CO2-powered needle. It's big fun to use (zero broken cork) but doesn't work on plastic corks. I know: "What knucklehead would drink wine with a plastic cork?" -- I didn't know the cork was plastic!. - Bucko - 02-12-2003 I know: "What knucklehead would drink wine with a plastic cork?" -- I didn't know the cork was plastic! ************************ Knuckleheads like me that do not like to have corked wines. I even buy (shudder) wines with screwcaps. Thumbs up to progressive wineries not afraid to do away with cork. - mrdutton - 02-15-2003 Check out Bonny Doon! I just bought a few bottles of Ca Del Sol Jail House Red and the bottles are sealed using a Stelvin Closure. You can obtain more information about the Stelvin Closure at www.pea.pechiney.com. You can learn more about Bonny Doon at www.bonnydoonvineyard.com. Love them screw caps! - Glass_A_Day - 02-15-2003 I've had one of those for years. I guess they're making a comeback.
