How do you put the corks in or remove them? Is the head hinged, or an opening in the back?

There is an opening in the back for corks. This little guy was such a surprise on what good quality he is made with and the actual size of him. You will absolutely love it and I think be as pleased as I was with this purchase.

Sorry, I did not purchase this item. My cork holder is in the shape of a wine glass and I just drop the corks into the top. Janet

It unscrews. It took me a while to figure it out because the others lift off. If it gets stuck, gently use the part on top that closes the drinking opening like a handle and turn it to the left - remember this little saying - lefty loosey - righty tighty. It never fails me. Enjoy it.

Insert metal pick or tiny screwdriver into cork and hold cork steady while pressing top toggle button.

No instructions. Essentially there is a tapered cork base which slides into a wine bottle. It settles into place snugly as you insert it gently into bottle. Very easy. (No stress).

The lid is attached on a hinge... You can only open it by pressing on a button on top to fill it.

The top and bottom twist. The part where the needle is turns relative to the part with the logo on it, and the screws push the cork down. Just grip the top and bottom and twist.Mind, I had to take the thing half apart before I figured out how you're supposed to work it, so I'm not sure it was ever in the instructions.

The racks are removable but it is not configured for magnum or larger wine formats. I do not store my large format wine in it. The door would not close if I tried.

I have had corks get stuck inside the unit. It just spins around and around when pushing the button to expel it. However, I finally figured out that if that happens, you just need to insert something in the cylinder to put pressure on the cork while you are pushing the button to expel it. Hope that helps.

You lay it down so that the words on the top that are in the picture are facing up (facing you). The zipper unzips the top all the way around to the back and it unfolds. The foam piece that is inside has little holes in it to put the bottles in. The top will stay open because it flips all the way back to rest on the table /desk/what ever you sit it on. It is like a briefcase but goes all the way back instead of opening up to create an L shape. The way it is in this picture is the way you would carry it and the bottles would be resting in the protective foam piece on their sides with it in the upright, carry position. Hope that helps!

can you take out shelves in the bottom to stand an open wine bottle up OR does it allow you to place the bottle on the shelve with a wine cork stopper?

Lid is hinged. Front of lid has molded tabs which snap into cooler when closed. I have had no problems with lid opening.

There's no adjustment needed. Twist the screw all the way into the cork. Press your finger on the top portion of the hinge and it will depress just enough to catch the lip of the wine bottle. This should remove the cork half way when pulling up the handle. The second half of the cork is removed with the bottom hinge hooking the lip of the bottle as a second movement.

If the bottle opening is too large, get a thin piece of corking wrap and wrap it around the cork, so it will fit the opening in the bottle. If the cork on other hand is too large, trim it slightly with a sharp knife. Just a little at a time to get the right fit. OK? Good luck

I think the door is one of the coolest features of the wine jail so I never thought about removing the door. Having said that, it doesn't appear the door would come off very easily. The hinges look like they are welded or soldered on ( it is VERY well made). you would probably cause serious damage to it trying to take it off.

Yes, you do remove the cork from the needle. There is a plastic disk that you push on so you don't have to touch the cork or needle. It took me a minute to figure that out, but it does slide off easily once you get it.

If you can pick up a flashlight, then the Ozeri will pretty much be the same. You also need to be able to grip the bottle with the other handto keep it from rotating as the screw penetrates the cork. The cork remover will the eject the cork with a push of the button. I would say it would be much easier than using a regular cork screw.

The corks are straight not flared. If you can push it back into the neck of the bottle then it's not a tight seal and you'll see the wine flavor changed. There are wine cork machine you could use to recork the bottle, but that's another $20 or so and have to be reworked every time it was opened.
