According to reviewers, the Vacu Vin Corkscrew Winemaster wine opener is an excellent product for the money. Although reviewers say there is a slight learning curve, once mastered, the Vacu Vin is as reliable as the Le Creuset Screwpull Lever Model Elegance (*Est. $100), which costs almost three times as much. Some reviewers report that it actually takes less effort to use the Vacu Vin wine opener than the more expensive models. We found some owner complaints of durability and warranty problems however.

The best reviews for the Vacu Vin Corkscrew Winemaster wine opener come from Good Housekeeping and ConsumerReports.org. Both publications are known for their thorough testing. There are also a fair amount of user reviews and ratings from contributors to Amazon.com and Cooking.com.
