Zeus Uncorking Machine, Wall-mounted, Brass Plated
Best cork screw I’ve ever used
I had purchased the Pottery Barn table top unit for $200 and within 12 bottles the cheap plastic guts shattered. Pottery Barn replaced the unit and within 6 bottles I could see the same cheap guts would do the same. So as any serious wine drinker would do, we asked for a refund.
Found this unit via Amazon and while the materials on this unit were not described in detail, what I received was very well made. The mechanics are solid, made of steel and brass, no plastic.
The lower of the unit features a spring actuated bottle grip to support both downward and upward pressure of the screw. You still need to maintain a slight grip on the bottle with one hand while you move the screw handle downward and upward.
Best part is, this unit looks fantastic on the wall of my bar. My friends now want one.
Works well, looks great
A conversation piece, we have given many of these as house-warming presents. Works very well except on plastic corks. Can cause a old cork to crumble (like any corkscrew). Use it frequently.
