Amazon.com Review: This six-piece tool kit has all the basics and more for a wine aficionado, including Metrokane's famous Rabbit corkscrew. The Deluxe model features die-cast metal handles finished in a velvety, soft-touch coating. The same coating elegantly covers the foil cutter, drip-stop ring, and wine/Champagne sealer that expands to form an airtight seal on any size bottle, thus keeping in bubbles. A Teflon-coated worm (or spiral) and a chrome-finished wax-seal remover are also included. All come packaged in a handsome, clear Lucite case for both gift-giving and storage.
Not familiar with the award-winning Rabbit corkscrew? Invented by Metrokane designer Ed Kilduff, the long-"eared" Rabbit removes a cork from a wine bottle in just three seconds. Squeeze and hold the Rabbit's handles 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). Metrokane covers the Rabbit with a 10-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
