Zwilling Sommelier Waiter's Corkscrew Wine

I am a professional sommelier (CMS 2 Certified, WSET 3) and craft cocktail bartender, and I absolutely love this Zwilling-Henckels wine key. Over the past five years, I have purchased at least SIX of them. I currently own two -- one for work, and one for home. I have had at least two of them stolen! And I recently bought two more for two of my up-and-coming young bartenders as gifts. The wine key is a German design, made of stainless steel, with a two-stage lever, synthetic wood-grain side-piece grips, teflon-coated corkscrew, and a curved, non-serated, capsule knife. When new, the knife is beautifully honed for easily cutting any foil or plastic wine bottle capsules, but it will dull with extensive use over time. The upside is the knife is German stainless and it can be professionally re-sharpened to a like-new hone. I strongly recommend this wine key -- you can pay a lot more for a good wine key, and get a product that is not nearly as functional or durable as this one!

very solid, very sharp feels high end. For the money well worth it, a buy once kind of item. Would be a great gift for wine enthusiasts who always need another corkscrew.

Very elegant design and very solid structure. I'm a professional sommelier and I use this for my everyday and I can attest for it's reliability. A good problem would be that the blade is dangerously sharp and you can very easily cut yourself, but eventually you get the hang of it.

Best one, especially at the price point. Super sturdy, and the knife did great, even on wax seals

You know; I just wanted a black key for my bar, and this was a dualie with a non-serrated blade, so I gave it a go. Turns out it’s the finest key I’ve ever owned. It’s really a very nice piece.

A step up from a Pulltaps, which is the gold standard opener to me. That said, this opener feels very solid in hand and the micarta scales look great. This opener is a great middle ground between practical (pulltaps or a boomerang 2 step) and a luxury opener (Chateau Laguiole, etc.) I actually prefer this to higher dollar openers (2 step is very important in my opinion).

Solid and great quality - should last a life time

It shouldn't be sold as it's designed. When opening water or beer bottles, it doesn't let you grip crown caps properly missing the edge all the time. Just look at the picture of the product, the shape of the body blocks the bottle opener. Even more problematic is the double tap feature. It's flimsy, bends over too much and hooks into cork when pulling it out. Also, it doesn't rest on the bottle properly. The only save grace is a proper sharp, straight edge for cutting wine foil. That's about it. Truly what a waste of money. I guess beauty of the design, over simple proper functionality. Definitely not for a working somm.

Very happy with this corkscrew that I bought for a gift. Feels great in your hand and looks and feels more up-scale, than a regular bartender's corkscrew. Great gift.

Works good and smooth

Muy bueno

Swift delivery & easy to use.

As expected from Zwilling - the build quality is great.
