Budget corkscrew

- Easy to use
- Large handles
- Durability
- Bulky
- Awkward foil cutter
Unlike lever-type wine openers, continuous-turn corkscrews do require you to twist the screw into the cork. But unlike a traditional corkscrew, you don't have to pull to remove the cork. Rather, you just keep turning the screw in the same direction and the cork rides up the spiral. The Oxo Good Grips CorkPull receives good reviews, and though it's inexpensive, some users say it isn't durable. Most owners and experts say it's a good continuous-turn corkscrew overall. It includes a foil cutter, but reviewers are mixed on how well it works. Though it costs more, the Vacu Vin Corkscrew Winemaster (*Est. $40) takes even less hand strength to use.
The Oxo Good Grips CorkPull receives high marks from the expert testers at Australia's Choice magazine and Good Housekeeping. ConsumerReports.org also tested this product. We found owner-written reviews at Amazon.com.
