Does it leave pieces of cork in your wine? How does it fair on dried out corks?
1507545
it has worked great for us so far. all wine openers will leave pieces of cork in wine at times, if they go all the way through the cork. this opener so far has not done that, but i sure at some point it will. so far no issues with dried out corks. lots of wineries are switching to synthentic and other types of sealing. but it has worked on anything thrown at it so far.

It was given as a gift, but the bottles that where opened didn't leave any pieces of cork in the bottle.

No, removes the cork be it plastic or otherwise completely clean and absent of any residue whatsoever.

We don't hold our wine king enough to get dried corks. It is the best we have ever had. We have given six as gifts. And the charge lasts forever. Buy it.

I have only used this a couple of times but have had no cork issues and love it.

I have never had an issue with this. The only problem I've had is when it's a synthetic cork - on a few occasions, this type of cork has gotten stuck to the corkscrew and it's a pain to get off. I would still recommend the product!

I have not had any issues with this product I love it , It knows how far to go down into the cork and it pulls it right out !!!and then you just reverse it to get the cork off ! I love this product well worth the money !!!!

I rinse it under water after each use and have no problems at all. I would not let it sit an extended period of time with wine remnants in it. That would require soaking and cleaning.

Does any piece of rubber/plastic absorb wine? If yes, then assume so. But our bottles are generally upright when "uncorked"

Actually people may find this hard to believe but if you follow directions exactly as i have , i have regularly had wine last for weeks...even a month, with this product and leaving the wine then either on the counter or inside the refrigerator if it's pretty hot in summer and the wine is always really really good. I wonder if it depends on the quality of the wine and the kind of wine. I mostly drink only oak barrelled red wine...Ruah, Cabernet, and Merlot usually and don't get anything less than a $20 bottle and usually better quality than that. I also don't drink much out of a bottle once open it, maybe one or two glasses and then sometimes not for weeks again , and i can tell you for over 4 years using this, never has a bottle of wine gone bad and always it tastes great (even guests say that and can't believe it)......sometimes better, smoother...but as i said i get good wine to start with. i have had one can last 3 to 4 years , sometimes share it and finish the bottle and a few nights later open another and have a glass or two only , other times with guests empty the bottle of course...sometimes drink only one glass out of same bottle a few times or more and preserve it for over a months' time before it's finished....and still great tasting wine and well preserved... So that is my experience. And i heard from others that a couple of weeks is pretty normal with this product but maybe more than that you might not be able to count on, but i always have and have never been disappointed. Hope that helps.

It depends on the wine you are drinking. Some friends brought over a nice bottle and there was some sediment and it did remove it. I think you should use it because you don't want the sediment in you glass or stomach... However it is very easy to remove. I have used the aerator several times and I tell you it takes the harsh edges off of wine straight from the bottle. I love red wine but rarely drink it because I am impatient (I don't give it an hour to breathe) and cheap. I find you need to go into the $15+ range to get a really drinkable bottle and I cap my expenditure at $10/bottle. I feel like this helps in making a cheap bottle drink a like a higher priced bottle. You can really get the bouquet and flavor and not the harsh tanins and alcohol bite. Hope this helps.

DEar G. Egan, as you asked, I tried several wine bottles throughout the weeks. Unfortunately the big brush does NOT fit into a wine bottle. Therefore you need to find other methods to clean.Kind regards, Mirjam

No, it is good. It has a clamp that helps it stay on. No issues with the cork.

Wine okay, but do not keep it long in it will stain and leave a film. Passed on hard liquor, it gets a weird taste. Clean it out with water and bleach solution, after each time.

I haven't had a bottle of wine with sediment. I believe the aerator only adds air, giving the pored wine an extra breath of flavor. If I did have a bottle of wine with sediment it would end up in the sink.

It does not have a metal filter that goes on top like some aerator's have. It does however have small holes in the second stage that can filter out the larger sediments "cork for example." Most modern wines do not really have much sediment in them anyway, and if they do, you can pour them through a cheese cloth or into a decanter. If I am going to drink an older wine that I know will have sediment, I will pour it into a decanter, then pour it from the decanter, through this aerator and into my glass. Cheers!Edit: Also, no it does not come apart, that I am aware of. All you need to do is run water through it to clean it however.

I believe it does pierce the bottom, but I can honestly say I have never noticed particles in the wine. It works great!

The Wine saver won't work with sparkling wines...This does..keeps it close to new for a while...Someone else makes one that has a clam style that works ok too...This is just for sparkling wines....and won't work with regular non-sparkling wines ..Hope that helps...I have about three different styles of them I've gotten over the years....as I carry on vacations so sometimes I lost them...great if you just want a couple glasses and keep it for another night...will not keep for a long time...say a month...slowly loses it's fizz.doesn't take air out...it is a spring loaded cap that keeps a tight seal so the fizz stays in.

I have left the wine for a week with no issues. It seems to depend on how much wine is left in the bottle or some other factors but at two weeks it sometimes goes bad. With the other systems I've tried, I was only able to keep wine about 4 days.

I have No problem with any corks. Let me add also that this wine opener looks very nice on my bar while charging. Friends are impressed.

No, but if the bottles have not been opened the wine still goes to the cork. We've had no problems.

I didn't pay too much attention to what kind of corks I'd use it on but all of the corks I've used this on don't seem to be a problem. It has a good point on the end of it to dig it in plus it has a small groove that runs along the entire corkscrew which helps getting the corkscrew further into the cork. You shouldn't have a problem with it.

It will stop every so often but it does run a lot. I returned mine because the wine was not any good after a couple days. It did not seal it well enough.
