Anyone know what the best type of wine opener is? The classic corkscrew, the corkscrew with the grip, or the waiter's friend?

Will be able to find out soon have a friend who is a wine salesman.

Just to let ya know that you will get an answer.

i use a victorinox and it is awesome.

basically you just have to wind the top 1 way and it opens it perfectly. ill try find its exact name, opens perfectly, never munch's up the cork



its the plastic ones.
they are perfect.
also they come with an easy open which cuts the foil at the top

The corkscrew with the grip is best IMO, especially the ones with the levers that help pull the cork out. The waiter's friend is great but requires more skill and is best when you need to carry a corkscrew in a pocket (like if you're a waiter...or a wino).

Ok I talked with my friend who sells Wine to people for a living she likes the Waiter's Helper for most engagements.

But at her house she has a device called a Rabbit.

Realize that they have them cheaper then that its just the only one I could find without some major searching.

Apparently this is the premiere wine bottle opener and works extremely quickly and easily.

Well, if you are going luxury, you want the Le Creuset Screwpull. If you really want a rabbit, for god's sake don't skimp on a cheap one. They are notorious for "eating" corks (that is, you can't get the cork out of the corkscrew).

Waiter's friend seems like the best choice for now. Thanks all.
