 Written on December 28, 2007 Summary: It works but feels flimsy I guess I'm a little disappointed with this item. I received one as a gift a couple of years ago and I loved it so much I purchased this one to give as a Christmas gift this year. The one I received a couple of years ago feels much sturdier than the new one. The new one seems to be made of metal colored plastic instead of metal like my old one. It still removes a cork fairly easily it just feels like it will not be long before it breaks.  Written on December 25, 2007 Summary: a bit excessive,but a cute gift All you really need here is the corkscrew, but the other bits-foil cutter, stopper ecc. do make a more imposing gift. Be aware that the increased number of moving parts means that the Rabbit (and all its kin) are more likely to break than the simpler corkscrews. Wine used to be stored in wood and sold by the pitcher, or bucket-full. Strong glass bottles came along in England in the 1660's. At first, they were stoppered with glass, each stopper being ground individually to fit its bottle and then tied in place. Uniform plugs of cork gradually replaced the custom-tailored glass. The cork, exported from Portugal, was inserted for half its length in the bottleneck, and the consumer twisted it out. The corkscrew appeared a few years later, at the end of the century, and corks could then be driven flush with the bottle's neck. We are a people with too much time on our hands so it's not surprising that we have generated at least a hundred variations on the corkscrew. The only thing that matters is this: the business end of a corkscrew, called the worm, should be a wire formed in a spiral. (See illustration.) Corkscrews with stamped worms that resemble wood screws should be rejected, shunned, even anathematized. Here's why. The wire displaces the least amount of cork and gives the greatest amount of lifting surface. The stamped worm drills a hole in the cork and offers only its edges for lift. If the cork is old, or soft, this latter arrangement can leave you with a half a crumbled cork in the bottle. The wire is slim and makes a spiral that's wide enough to slip a paper match inside. The tip is pointed and sharp. For more information, try reading New Short Course in Wine,The  Written on December 6, 2007 Summary: This thing is my hero. This was given to me as a Christmas gift last year and I can say without a doubt, that it has changed my life. No longer will I struggle with awkward handles on your more conventional corkscrew. No longer will I fear my waiters corkscrew is gonna rip into my hand and cause me to bleed all over my kitchen, guests, and cabernet. Once you learn how to use this ONCE, you will never again use a blunt object to gouge out a cork from a bottle of wine. This puppy never pushes a cork deeper into a bottle either. Added bonus: you can use the champagne stopper for other bottles, the foil cutter thing is handy (although I believe I have lost my already due to cats that live in my house that play with small objects). Truthfully, I don't use the wax remover thing because perhaps I don't drink enough fine wines that have the wax seal on them. Screw that! Actually, unscrew that. And use your Rabbit. Written on July 30, 2007 Summary: Rabbit Wine Opener Review I bought it for my father's birthday. It arrived promptly and it is now the only wine opener he uses. Written on July 9, 2007 Summary: This wine opener really "hops to it"! I first heard about the Rabbit wine opener last winter when a friend told me about how well it works. They were even giving them for Christmas presents. I thought that was a great gift idea for wine lovers and wished I drank wine to warrant one for myself. I just purchased this Rabbit for a gift and my friend is really pleased. I chose the silver model for him, rather than the cool black version. He thinks the silver is really elegant. He raved about how great it works, all the neat accessories, and even the box in which to keep the entire set intact. Maybe I'll start drinking wine after all and get one for myself! |
