Advantages: Easy to use, effective and neat result

Disadvantages: Not cheap

This device sounds like a totally useless gadget suitable only for total wine snobs, but it's actually invaluable. I seem to be incapable of getting the foil off a bottle of wine without a fight, and opening the wine with the foil still on has sometimes been disastrous! I was therefore keen to try the foil cutter when I was given it is a present. It's brilliant!

The cutter is of smart black plastic, more or less U-shaped, with sharp metal wheels visible inside (far enough inside for your fingers to be safe!). You just place the foilcutter over the wine bottle, squeeze gently and turn for a quarter-turn. The top of the foil comes off easily and perfectly as you lift the cutter: aesthetically pleasing as well as practical. Because the remaining foil on the bottle isn't pulled away or jagged, pouring is easier too.

In summary, this is more useful than you'd imagine!
