There are some great corkscrews available today, but for sheer effortless simplicity, the CorkPops takes some beating. Gift boxed and complete with a multi-action foil cutter. The CorkPops Legacy must be the simplest, fastest and easiest way to open a bottle of wine - so how does it work Instead of the usual wire corkscrew, The Legacy has a non-stick coated, hollow needle, through which the CorkPops cartridge passes a puff of carbon dioxide - the cork just pushes itself out of the bottle. It's that easy! The Legacy is engineered in a smart matt black, non-slip soft touch finish with a silver logo panel which sets off the whole sleek design.The mini-cartridge just sits in the top and will open between 80 and 100 bottles of wine. It is then removed and a new one dropped in - ready for the next 100 bottles! The hollow needle is made from hardened steel and fully coated with a non-stick coating. It slides easily through the cork, whether it is new, old or a modern synthetic cork. The legs wrap around the bottle neck, and fit both a traditional wine bottle or the newer flanged-lip variety. These guide the needle correctly through the centre of the cork and minimises any damage to it, especially if it is fragile. One press on the cartridge and the cork pushes out of the bottle, often with a satisfying pop! The carbon dioxide used is actually the gas produced when the wine is initially fermented from grapes and has absolutely no effect on the taste or quality of the wine. Removing the cork from the needle is simplicity - just twist The Legacy and it splits at its waist to eject the cork. As the needle slides in and out without any damage to the cork, you can always re-use the cork to stopper the bottle if any wine remains. A new feature on The Legacy is the Multi-action Foil Cutter. Unusually, The Legacy has 4 cutting wheels. We found that with just 1 rotation of the bottle, the foil was cut cleanly from the bottle - it just looks more elegant and professional. The Legacy is gift packed in a smart, snap opening, acrylic box with full instructions. Refills are readily available in packs of 2 and each refill will open 80 - 100 bottles. The Legacy is modern, smart, elegant and fun to use, but for anyone with weak wrists or arthritis who find normal corkscrews rather uncomfortable to use, it would be an absolute boon. The Legacy is not suitable for opening champagne, sparkling wines, square, oval, flawed bottles or bottles sealed with plastic corks. CorkPops Refills (2 pack) R 149.00
