Does it have the capacity to cut a wine bottle while only removing a 1/4" or so? I want to use as much as the bottle as I can. An even better question would be, what is the largest height I can cut?

I got this for my gf and we were cutting just a few minutes after it was out of the box. We cut mostly wine bottles and there has not been any cut we wanted so far that the device would not allow room for. As long as you can hold the bottle steady you can make a score anywhere you want.

If you follow the instructions you will make 24 or 25 750ml bottles.....obviously......add more water and you will get a thinner wine but more of it and conversely....cut back on the water and you will get a more robust wine but fewer bottles.good luck;gary

yes, you can cut it, I had to as well. A good pair of scissors help it is a little thick and will pull a bit. I used a large size it worked great.

I am sorry to say that the answer, in my experience, is not quite. The cork will be removed from the bottle, but not removed from the wine opener. Just use the pliers to twist out enough to remove. Simple.

The top drawers have more room for larger sized bottles, but the normal space configuration gives plenty of room for most larger sized wine bottles. You can always remove a drawer for really large bottles, but this will obviously reduce your bottle capacity. 36 bottles are a lot and I do not fill the cooler to capacity anyway. I am very pleased with my unit and highly recommend it.

I have had full bottles of wine in mind for over a year. The only problem I've ever had is when I tried to put the champagne bottle in the top was too big to fit in the whole wine bottles fit great!!!

No. This is the reason that I purchased this item. I've had no problems with cutting what I need to. It totally depends on what you are cutting. I've cut plenty of plants up 1/4" or larger, but this is generally not very hard wood/plant stems, etc.

How long did you age your wine in it? Was yours the same with a char on the inside? I am afraid because some say this is just a "whiskey barrel" not a wine barrel! Any feedback would be great!

In one word.............. NO. it has a fine hole at the back of the aerator and it will stop large pieces, but not fine particles. they will continue to get thru. it is a wonderful aerator for wine. It also fits many bottle that the others do not.

If I am following you... a split bottle I believe would be like a small wine bottle? If so yes it would work better than a full size as long as the mouth isn't smaller than normal but I believe that's a common size mouth! It is a pretty decent tower I've put from 8oz beer bottles to 750mil champagne bottles on mine, just enjoy what you make!

p.s. mine lasted only around a year before it conked out. I'd suggest looking around for a different, more reliable model. Keep in mind also that the shelves are designed to fit ONLY your classic regular type of wine bottle. Anytime you have something like a red with a wider base (like a lot of California wines) or champagne, you have to jam it in or else remove a shelf. Why they didn't think of this is a mystery to me. But it makes sense given how shoddy my machine was.

It is my understanding that there is a separate product for recycling plastic bottles, so my inclination is to say that the one listed for wine bottles would not work for the plastic. Having said this I haven't tried it for anything other than wine bottles, so I really don't know.

Not as an effective one, it is a great knife and it has a good size, so if you really want to open a bottle with it you could, but you will have to put some work into it.

Do you mean the top of the bottle where the cap fits? If it's angled at all, it probably won't. If it's "straight" near the top, it might. You'd have to go down an inch or so, so that the lip isn't blocking the cutting tool. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. Fits best in relatively tall bordeaux-shaped bottles. Can be angled slightly to fit in some shorter bottles. Does not fit in most burgundy-shaped bottles (eg, pinot noir). Works well when it fits.

I have not cut larger than 4" tree, It did however do a very good job with that size. Only had to sharpen it after cutting out some roots. Sharpened very easily with a Gerber sharpening steel.

You can take the cork out with this device with only one hand. However to cut the foil off the top of the bottle you will need someone to hold the bottle and another hand to twist the cutter back-and-forth to cut the foil.
