This wine opener is very easy to use. You don’t wrestle with the bottle screwing in the opener into the cork, the cork does not break off, and it is fast. The accessories are nice also like the bottle corker is nice for when you don’t drink the whole bottle and the drip rim is also a nice way to keep the wine from dripping down the side of the bottle. A great gift for that wine lover in your life or yourself.

This wine opener is wonderful! I have used many openers since I began drinking wine and this by far is the easiest one I have ever put my hands on. In 2 seconds the bottle is uncorked – it’s that easy! And wow – for the price??? How can you beat that? I highly recommend this product!

Top shelf, first class, outstanding performance and this is from someone that tends bar on occasion.

Although I have extremely arthritic hands, I find this opener easy to operate. The accessories (foil cutter, wax remover, etc.) are also useful, even though I forget to use them as I’m not use to having them. I also like the fact that everything is contained in the same place/holder and the appearance is such that it can be left out on the bar.

I could *not* believe my eyes the first time I saw someone use a Rabbit. I’ve shredded SO many corks and even broken bottles trying to get corks out. I’ve tried so many different kinds of corkscrews (and the two-pronged non-screw-type cork-pullers), and I’ve been all kinds of frustrated. I’m a big and strong guy, and I’ve still been frustrated at how hard some corkscrews are to use.
Enter the Rabbit. It’s hard to visualize from the picture, but it is SUPER-EASY, once you figure it out.
1) Flip the top over, away from the cork, raising the screw (sometimes called the “worm”)
2) Place the two handles on either side of the bottle-neck, positioning the tip of the worm over the cork.
3) Squeeze the handles together to hold the bottle.
4) Bring the top handle up and over, which pushes the worm into the cork — so easy you can’t believe it.
5) Take the top handle back to where it started, and the cork is out! No muss, no fuss, no cuss!

They say removing the cork from the worm is just as easy, but it’s not quite. The method for this is:
6) Bring the top handle back over, as if to put the cork back in the bottle, only without the bottle there.
7) Squeeze the side handles around/on the cork.
Bring the top handle back away to remove the worm, while holding the cork with the side handles.
That works, but the side handles don’t always squeeze tight enough to hold the cork there.

Okay, the ad says “3 seconds”. I put closer to ten seconds, plus five more to remove the cork (if it grips right), or 30 seconds more if it doesn’t grip the cork to remove it. Still, this is the easiest and best corkscrew I’ve ever used, and I’d say it’s WELL worth the price. The “gift set” is nice, but personally, I don’t think it’s worth the extra price compared to just the Rabbit without the gift set. I do, however, recommend the Metrokane “Save-the-Wine” Vacuum Pump.

Oh, one more thing — I’ve heard it doesn’t work well on the new plastic-style “corks”, but I haven’t tried it.

I bought the Metrokane Rabbit as a Christmas gift for my parents and it has since become the most indispensible item in our kitchen. We drink wine every night in our house, and have been through many a corkscrew, but absolutely nothing compares to this. The Rabbit makes short work of opening a bottle of wine for even the puniest-armed of us, and indeed, has caused one or two scuffles at dinner over who gets to open the next bottle of wine! Three swift, smooth movements will open even the most stubborn bottle, and with none of the grunting, puffing and red-faced struggling that often accompanies this manouvre. There is a particular brand of white wine I drink that is next to impossible to open if you have left the bottle to chill with the cork in it, and I actually broke 3 “traditional” corkscrews trying to open one single bottle of this. Well, in the highest praise I can summon for the Rabbit, I have not had a problem with one of these bottles since I bought it. If you are a wine-drinker, or even just a lover of gadgets, buy this – now!

I love this corkscrew system. My husband just bought it for our anniversary. I have loved this corkscrew, since using it at a winery I work at in Tennessee. It never failed us and was a time saver during big events, like concerts and tastings that required a lot of bottles to be opened at a rapid rate. Definetly a must have for serious wine buffs.

We’ve been through many wine openers living in both the Northern California and Virginia wine country, but NOTHING compares to the ease and smoothness of the Metrokane Rabbit wine opener, AND it’s a complete set with an extra screw, spout protector, wax remover, foil cutter, and a stopper! You can’t get it for a better price (not to mention free SUPER SAVER shipping and no tax!) All our friends want one…they make GREAT gifts for GREAT friends! Get it and you’ll love it!

I’ve been using these Metrokanes for several years now and I wouldn’t want to use anything else. They make absolutely anyone look like a pro opening a bottle of wine, while of course at the same time avoiding the occasional broken cork plunged into the bottle horror.
Whenever we have guests, they always comment on the Metrokane, and as a result I’ve found it makes a perfect gift. In particular, this silver model is extremely attractive.

I purchased the Metrokane Gift Set for my husband who has always struggled opening wine bottles. You have no idea how easy this corkscrew is to use, no more pieces of cork in the wine and 1-2-3 the cork pulls right out without having to strain or pull a muscle!.. It’s about time someone came out with a great gadget such as this one! Thank you Metrokane!
