Amazon.com Review:
Award winning for its innovative design, the Rabbit corkscrew from Metrokane opens any size wine bottle in just three seconds. Squeeze the Rabbit's arms around the bottle, push the lever down, pull up, and the cork is out. To remove the cork from the spiral, simply lower and raise the lever again. Hardened all-metal teeth on the gear mechanism ensure that the corkscrew will open up to 20,000 bottles (when the spiral is replaced every 800 to 1,000 pulls). The spiral, also called a worm, is made of high tensile steel coated with a nonstick finish, and features mini-bearings in the head. The Rabbit's arms and lever are made of a durable high-gloss synthetic with a solid heft. Soft inserts on the lever provide a sure, comfortable grip. Accessories in this six-piece set include a foil cutter, absorbent bottle-neck ring for red wine drips, wax `whacker' to remove wax on the cork, and an extra spiral. As a bonus, the set also includes the illustrated 2004 hardback edition of Complete Wine Course: A Lively Guide, by Kevin Zraly, from the Windows on the World restaurant that once topped the World Trade Center. The Rabbit measures 6-3/4 by 5-3/4 by 2 inches and is covered by a 10-year warranty. --Ann Bieri
