Does this open all corks? the real cork and the other stuff.

Yes it opens regular cork and the synthetic corks. Those are the only corks that I have seen. No problem

This One OPENS all the corks I've used it on..effortlessly Best choice I ever made.!

The description says that it works with both natural and synthetic corks but the only corks I have used it with are the natural ones.

This is the best opener - it opens all corks, (real & fake), although you can feel the difference when opening the bottle, the cork is a tiny bit smoother. I bought 3 for gifts and one for myself.

It's opened every wine bottle that I ever tried it on. There is a small blade under the cap that will tear the foil off, and then the screw will pop the cork with just a push of the button.

Yes, I haven't had any problems opening the new synthetic corks. This thing works great.

Yes. You cut off the plastic over the cork with the cutting blade that is included and place the electric opener over the cork in the middle and push the down side of the button. It stops when done and you lift it up and the cork is off. Then you push the up side of the button to release the cork. It is a great invention.

No. It clicks when it's vacuumed. I like to pump it a couple more times/clicks. THis clicking is a new-ish thing. My 20 year old VacuVin I just pump til it resists. I feel like the new one doesn't pump enough out, but what do I know? I never have the wine sitting around for more than another day or 2, so just a cork would probably be enough to hold most wines.

Nope. It's kind of like a funnel. Bigger opening at the top...wine gets swirled around in the middle...then comes out small opening at the bottom

not really but sort of.........I use the pointed end of the cork pop and tear the foil then peal it off with my finger. Works fine....best opener I've ever had and I've had them all!

Yes, it opens pretty much everything. It is the best opener I've ever had. Pretty amazing and easy to use

No, but you don't really need any instructions. The cork base fits into the opening on your wine bottle. I did have to "adapt" one to fit the opening on a liquor bottle with a little electrical tape, but that was my fault...apparently liquor bottle corks and wine bottle corks are sized differently!

I just tried to open a bottle with a rubber cork for the first time since I've owned it(bought it beginning of 2013), and it took a few times but eventually I got the cork high enough to just pull it out. The opener would not pull it out all the way.

Absolutely.....you simply use the cutter that is also attached to remove the foil on the bottle, which is also really easy to use, place the opening over the cork area, press the down button until the opener stops, and then press the up bottom, and there you have it. Once the cork is removed just simply press the down button again to release the cork.

I disassembled the wine opener. There are 4 Phillips head screws covered by rubber plugs on the back side that you have to pry out carefully. Then there are two screws on the end. Remove the screws and the wine opener will be in halves. you can unscrew the cork from the wine opener and while you have it apart, slide the contacts for charging down or bend them a little with a pliers. If you re-assemble the wine opener, it might charge and work again. Still underpowered but it might work.

You twist the bottom and it Oprah and you pull the cork out. You can see the the twist part after the logo. Does this help?

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!

It seems very sturdy. It takes very little pressure to insert the needle into corks. Once it's in, 4-5 pumps and the cork starts lifting out. The needle also slides out of corks with ease. This is my favorite wine opener. And for the price you certainly can't go wrong.

I also love the tool. I usually grab the cork with pliers and pull it off. Not very elegant, but it works. It is a small price to pay for the convenience of the opener.

Rarely, but it definitely helps if there is any broken cork in the wine or anything that shouldn't be in there! :)

Yes it contains all the ingredients that you need. You need to supply the equipment. Just follow the directions and it will make great wine. I would recommend making a 5 gallon batch instead of 6 gallons for a wine with more body.

No, I only buy full wine bottles and make them empty. This is an arduous job, but someone has to do it.
