Corkscrews in general

The Leaping Frog Corkscrew is a superb quality item which looks good, feels good, and makes a great present. It is a chrome plated, top heavy corkscrew, designed in the image of a frog. You simply screw the twisted tool into the cork, and then as you pull the cork out of the bottle, the legs of the frogs extend to make it appear as though the frog is leaping. Of course, this is not only for aesthetic purposes. The unique riveted springy frog-leg system means that the vertical pulling force required to remove the cork is greatly reduced.

This review is on the Culinare Suregrip Corkscrew. I don't want to come across as a total lush but I really believe nothing beats a good glass of red wine on a cold winters night with the fire roaring and a couple of candles flickering nearby unless of course it's a lovely crisp clear glass of white wine which accompanies a family barbecue on a sunny afternoon, or possibly a glass of rose as you sit outside watching the sun go down on a summer evening.

Spending quality time with him on an evening was the highlight of my day. :O( You see, I took my brilliant corkscrew with me on holiday to Torquay, so that I could open all those lovely bottles of holiday wine I was also taking with me. But when we left the caravan at the end of our break, I forgot to take my corkscrew out of the kitchen drawer – I left him behind! Sob! Who do I get a screw from now? So, this week I have been lost. I haven’t known what to do with myself. I have had to remain sober. It’s ...  Read the complete review

AT2 AT3 AT4 A corkscrew is not just for Christmas. I shall be using one at Christmas but I do use one at other times as well they do not get completely forgotten and neglected. You are going to need one if you are going to open that lovely bottle of wine for your Christmas dinner, remember the shops are not open so you can not pop out to buy one if you forget. I do not recommend trying to open your wine with your teeth or a screwdriver, a sharp knife or trying to make a hole in it with a knitting needle to let the wine drip out. Be carefull you do not get cork in the wine . If you do ...  Read the complete review
