1. Rogar Estate Wine Opener
I have had this wine opener for three years now and have never been disappointed with its performance. It opens wine bottles effortless and looks beautiful in my dining room. It opens both large and small wine bottles perfectly every time. A must for wine enthusiasts!
2. Looks great, works OK
This was a gift for my girlfriend. She had to have one after seeing one in a restaurant we love to go to. She was thrilled to receive it and it really does make a nice addition to our little "wine bar".
There are a few problems with this guy, as follows...
1. It is not intuitive for people to use. I am able to grasp the concept but many people either try to pull or push in the wrong direction or do it properly but then return the handle to its original position, unknowingly RE-corking the bottle they just opened. I'll chalk this one up to user error, and give the company a pass.
2. The pivot mechanism for the handle does not have any bearing or bushing of any kind, it simply pivots in a loosely drilled hole. This makes for sloppy movement and requires more effort than if there were nice ball bearings or even an oiled bronze bushing.

And recorks nicely, too!
Yes, as stated above, it's a GREAT wine opener. Once you drill into your head to start with the handle in the back and pull forward, it opens perfectly every time. BUT if you leave the cork on the corkscrew, put the bottle back in and push the handle from FRONT to BACK, you'll get a perfectly recorked bottle to enjoy later! I've had mine for literally years with no trouble and never a failed uncorking. I'm back to buy one for our dock so our fellow boat buds can all enjoy it!
