Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew
With
a 10-year warranty and an award winning lever-style design it is no wonder
that the Rabbit corkscrew is the most popular corkscrew on the market.
Released in 2000 by Metrokane: a world leader known for providing wine
accessories; the rabbit corkscrew is "a must have" for the wine
lover. Why? Because it makes opening a bottle of wine easy and fast! Instead
of having to pull the cork from the bottle, you use a lever action, which
does all of the work for you. The Metrokane corkscrew is not the only
lever corkscrew. The first one was patented years before. However, since
the rabbit corkscrew entered the market, many knock-off designs have followed.
Some are slightly less expensive than the Metrokane Rabbit, however, what
you get with this wine opener is: a sturdy device, no broken corks, and
an ergonomic design, where brute strength and strain is unnecessary.

How it works:
The Metrokane rabbit corkscrew is designed with 2 handles that grip the top of your bottle of wine. Within 3 seconds, based on reviews and trial, the top handle drives its way into the corkscrew and pops it out. With another quick movement to the top handle, the cork is ejected from the apparatus.
