Argh (not the pirate argh) - Corkscrew Help Needed
 
Help.............!!! Our Sieger 600 corkscrew died tonight and it has served us as no other for 23yr. If my wife can use it, it is the right one. Apparently the Sieger is no longer available.
What simple, easy-to-use corkscrew do you recommend?
Screw-tops are great, but still lots of corks to pull.

I love my Rabbit.

Too simple and fast.

Any push-in double-jointed wins in any situation.


Cheap and durable, too: https://www.amazon.com/Culina-Corksc...orkscrew&psc=1

I have been collecting (and drinking) wine since 1974 or so. Sold a lot of my collection to The Chicago Wine Company. My buddy there and I agree, the best way to open a bottle and not have cork problems is to use an "Ah-So".

I use a foil cutter and occasionally an activ-ball model from Le Creuset.

You should have a wine pump and stoppers for the rare occasion there is wine leftover.

I do not have the breadth of experience of many here and would be interested to read feed back on an air pressure opener.

Thanks for the suggestions from all. Have gone with this due to ease-of-use for the wife. In an emergency she'll pull out the Rabbit, but neither of us care much for it. We've tried many of the other styles and anything with a lever is out for long-term use.
