Ah-So Wine Opener Corkscrew Wine Bottle Opener Two-Prong Cork Puller

I had seen waiters open wine bottles with this wine bottle opener, but I never had one myself- until I purchased a case of wine from 2011. The old corks were starting to fall apart, and my usual corkscrew was breaking and removing only about half of them, leaving the rest in the bottle neck. I read that this kind of corkscrew works on old corks, and it does! Easy to master, super affordable, and no more half corks to try to get out of, or push into, the bottle. 5 stars!

This works well on older bottle of wine that have been sitting for years. Takes out questionable corks with ease.

Love this wine opener- it’s so cool & easy to use. Great gift

Over 40 years ago my then-Significant-Other got us an Ah-So-style wine opener. It worked well, and appealed to my compulsive preference for doing no harm, allowing a cork to be pulled with almost no harm to the cork. I’ve been separated from that ah-so opener (and from the then-SO) for 35 years, recently thought to try another ah-so opener, see if it was as good as I remembered. The short answer is, not quite as good as I remembered, and not really as good as a regular wing-style corkscrew. I chose this E&EY brand of Ah-So opener to try simply because it had relatively good reviews here on Amazon, and because it had a good, low price. And it seems to be perfectly well made, nothing at all wrong with the design and construction of the opener itself. I know the prongs on a lot of these openers rust a bit over time, that’s always a risk with the spring steel (not stainless), especially when it regularly gets damp as a wine opener does; our old one got a bit rusty after some years, maybe this new one will eventually rust some too, but certainly not yet. However, using this Ah-So took more time and effort and attention than I remembered. (We bought a corked bottle only to test this opener.) I’m sure I’m using it correctly and well, but, while inserting it, it kept incidentally pushing the cork down the neck of the bottle, to where I had to stop inserting the opener and instead twist and lift to bring the cork up until the prongs pull out, then return to inserting the prongs. Takes like 3 rounds of this to remove the one cork. Meanwhile the upper/outer edges of the cork are crumbling some under all the stress, and the resulting cork crumbs have to be kept cleared away from the lip of the bottle if they’re not to fall in when the cork finally comes out. Not really worth it to my mind. Better/faster/easier just to go with the traditional, wing-style corkscrew wine opener. Better still, just screw all this obsolete nonsense with wine bottles closed/sealed with corks, instead just get wine with screw-on closures, way better in all respects. Hard to know for sure how to rate this E&EY Ah-So opener, which is a perfectly fine ah-so opener, at a great price, but, as such, not as effective as a wing-style corkscrew, which, as such in turn, is not as effective as a screw-on top. I reckon I’ll rate this E&EY Ah-So a non-committal 4 stars, and meanwhile hope that wine corks and cork-openers all just fade away soon.

It is a little tricky to use in the beginning; however, once you're accustomed to it, it is very easy. We bought this in the beginning to remove broken and stuck corks in the wine bottles. Now, this is our go-to wine cork puller for every time we open a bottle. Easy, quick and don't have to worry about broken corks...

Soooo happy this works great!! Our old one corroded so we had to replace it and happy this was a great option that was inexpensive and worked just as effective as the one we had for years. Hoping this one will last just as long

It works but can be a struggle. Compact making it a good travel item.

Easy to use and no cork crumbs!

Descorchador resistente, he abierto varias botellas de vino, tanto recientes como antiguas y funciona bien, salvo en aquellas que el corcho esté fraccionado por la humedad.

Bought it to open some old bottles of wine without the inevitable crumbling cork. Doesn't always succeed, but significantly better than a corkscrew on old cork

This was what we expected. It worked great.

A good quality product.

Lo usé en una botella jóven y funcionó tan bien que parecía magia. El verdadero reto vendrá cuando se trate de un corcho pegado. Apenas lo use, vendré a completar la reseña.
