A wine consumer's must-have tool
350925
This cork puller is expensive. However, it is worth every penny for the avid wine consumer. The Le Creuset cork puller is well made. The finish does not easily scratch. It is weighty and has a feel of quality in your hand. The handle design is comfortable to use, making cork removal easy and painless. It comes with a 10-year warranty and should last well beyond that under regular use.

This isn't your typical wine guide: Rather than providing the opinions of one or a small panel of supposed experts, this guide "mines" the data from thousands of blind taste tests from major wine competitions. The Guide presents the results clearly and concisely, calling attention to  "bargain" wines that deserve a closer look because they're  especially good for the money. I'm an engineering kind of guy, and so I  like this guide's straightforward, no-nonsense approach.  It doesn't dress  up or romanticize wines. Rather, it gathers the data, does the math, and  gives you the results. If you're accustomed to traditional wine guides (as  I expect the reader from New York was), be prepared for a shock. The Wine  Watch Guide strips away all the subjective stuff (which, if you find it  valuable, is covered adequately in myriad other guides), and instead  presents something truly useful: clear, easy-to-use lists of darn good (and  inexpensive) wines that can be found in common wine shops. If you're into  high "wine culture," this isn't your book. But, if you want a  handy, practical guide that helps you find the best common wines, I've  found nothing better than the Wine Watch Guide.

An excellent yet simple tool one must have to dry properly one's decanter. Just rinse your decanter thoroughly as soon as it is empty, wash the outside with some soap, but not the inside, and hang it upside down on this nifty little drying rod. After cracking a decanter as it was drying, I bought this. It was worth it!

During a recent trip to Paris I bought a bottle of wine for the room. I asked the innkeeper of our small boutique hotel if he had a corkscrew. He provided me with his.  Very useful and elegant. It has the two stage lever to make extracting the cork very simple. Enjoy!

I was thrilled to receive this product to review as my husband is a huge wine drinker. We received this Electric Wine Opener yesterday morning and quickly put it on the charge until the light turned green. Green = Go time! My husband loved the foil cutter as he simply twisted it around the top and the foil came right off. Cool! No more cut fingers. Then he placed the opener on top of the bottle, and with a push of a button it screwed down, and came back up with the cork. Doesn't get much easier than that I say. The wine aerator was a nice addition too. I'm not fancy enough to know that it does anything, but I can see this being a really nice gift for a wine drinker. Even though we've only opened one bottle of wine, we are most definitely happy to have this on our counter.

Over this past weekend, I was fortunate enough to attend a wine tasting of "Old wines" - wines that were at least 20 years old.  Naturally this means there's going to be a lot of sediment in the wines, so I brought this along to help out.  Received it as a Christmas gift from my sister, and wow, what a gift!  The filter trapped all the sediment and any cork bits that happened to fall in while the bottles were being opened, leaving the wine beautifully clear.  The funnel helped to give just that little bit of aeration needed to bring the wines back to life.  By the end of the evening, a number of my friends were asking where I had gotten it so that they, too, could obtain it.  Awesome.  Just, awesome.

A Must Have For Wine Making In The Bottle. Great Price

A lot of people know about letting a wine "breathe" - it opens up the flavorful layers the vintner worked to achieve for a whole year or more.  Sometimes known as a wine's bouquet, the aromas a wine also delivers, especially once poured, are typical good indicators of the richness and complexity a wine possesses.

This little gem from Nuance allows all the above to open up in a matter of seconds, while pouring from a just-opened (or corked, for that matter) bottle.  Not only does it aerate (read: infuse with oxygen/air) the liquid, but it filters it at the same time, so no more sediment in the last sip of your cabernet !

Well constructed of stainless steel and quality rubber, this is, in my opinion, THE companion to any bottle of wine you plan to serve and enjoy.

Bevi il tuo vino !!!

My wife and I first discovered it at a Long Island, NY, winery's tasting room.  They had the Haley's Corker on all of their sampling wine bottles.  Intrigued, we bought some (wine and the Corkers).  They're great!  We love them and we often give them as gifts.  When friends come over, they all remark about how nice they are and well they aerate red wines, that I often give them one when they leave.  I have about six at home, but over time, I've probably bought twenty of them.

DO NOT BUY ONE!  Buy several.  On my recent Amazon purchase, I bought two.  They were to replace two that I had recently given away to my neighbors.  And since then, I've given yet another away because friends and family love them so much.

They do a great job in keeping the wine sealed if you don't finish it right away.  Just store it upright.  I used to put the bottles back into my wine fridge but found that sometimes the wine will seep out.  Not much, but enough to make a small puddle stain at the bottom of the fridge.  It may be attributed to one 'partially defective' Corker, but just to be safe, I store them upright in my regular fridge.  Beyond that, they're great!!

I know it's a little pricey but this wine pump works really well.  We've had it since summer and I've used it frequently over the last 6 months.  It reseals the bottle with just a few pump of the plunger and then keeps it fresh for over a week. The less you unseal the bottle over that week the fresher the wine will remain. It comes with 3 rubber stoppers.  It's a very useful set and one a wine drinker would certainly enjoy as a gift.

Excellent gift for that hard working wine drinker in your family.

Wonderful product but unfortunately I am not the proper consumer.  I am the only wine drinker in the household and even I barely drink leaving it for the times that I open a bottle to cook with.  When I originally read the information provided by the company there was no mention of any 'gas' cartridges.  I do see that now it has been updated on the Amazon page to include a nifty little info box right at the top that plainly states that argon gas cartridges are necessary.  As you, the reader can see, I am not a wine aficionado or connoisseur.  I am more of a White Zinfadel sort of gal as I get older (wine drinkers giggle everywhere!) and having a Husband that truly detests all alcohol has made this a rather dry household.

When I first read the information provided, I was intrigued and rather excited.  I would now be able to open up a bottle of wine and get back to it a much LATER time.  Who would not want, need or welcome this type of gadget into their home?  Open my arms I did when it became available to review.  The item appears to be of discerning quality and handsome enough that can be left on the table during a dinner party.  The directions were easy enough to read but a bit difficult for execution.  A Youtube search found a video that was able to show me how to use the needle properly.  Apparently some of us are visual learners :)  Once the lesson was over I gladly used both of my hands and properly attached the contraption.  This is not a single handed operation; at least not for me!  I opted to leave the needle in and pour because the bottle would surely sit for another couple of weeks.  I have never used an older version of the Coravin but found the pour to be EXCRUCIATINGLY slow.  This could be because I am used to just pouring.  My issue and only issue is that I am just not whom this gadget was created for initially.  I wanted a way to keep my CHEAP wines because I was the only one that would drink.  The cartridge price alone warrants that you do not waste the gas on low-end wines for the inexperienced drinker.

Highly recommend because this is truly a wonderful gadget for the wine lover.  If you have tasting parties, a cellar filled with a variety of wines or even bottle your own, then this will be a wise investment that will offer you a bit of solace each time you open a special bottle for just one or two glasses.  The price does not allow me to recommend it for the consumer that does not drink quality wines or even goes through a variety on a regular basis.  If you are like myself and wanted to just keep that bottle longer, then this purchase will wastful. I just do not see myself buying cartridges for inexpensive bottles that do not offer the same flavor and nuances of a more expensive wine that should be properly stored.

I consider my trip with my husband to wineries this summer as an eye opener to the many things about wine. Of course, theres the wine types and then theres the wine tools accessories. I am at awe at the things one can do to improve the taste of wine and to prolong its life.

We usually buy big bottles of Pinot Grigio or Riesling just because we drink more white than reds. Of course, we don't get to drink the entire big bottle in 1 sitting so we end up having left overs.  The plastic wine pump and 2 rubber stoppers have been a big help in preserving our wine leftovers. These aid in keeping the bottles air tight and preserve its taste by preventing the oxidation process. The rubber stoppers are about the size of a wine cork.  Certainly is a great wine accessory to keep in the kitchen.

I received this complimentary wine pump and stopper for testing purposes. All opinions are my own.

I love my new aerator! It is effortless, and works from simple science; as you pour, it does the same thing some aerators claim to do with complex mechanics. You don't need all that. With this, you just pour and it does it for you. I just wish it came with a cap so  that I could leave it in the bottle for the party. Otherwise it is great! An inexpensive way to make good wine better immediately. No need to wait and nothing expensive needed, let science (aka this pourer) do it for you. It is quality material. The design is sleek making it look more expensive than it is. The rubber stopper keeps it in place as you pour and is still easily removed. I would definitely recommend this to any wine connoisseur on a budget. It will impress without breaking the bank, and make most wines better. I got it at a reduced price, but I reviewed it as full price and it is absolutely worth it. I love it! It goes into every bottle I serve.

This is a very handy tool for the wine aficionado!  Opening wine bottles is a breeze and it even includes a vacuum sealer in case the bottle of wine isn't finished. It has enough oomph to remove the cork easily and quickly
