I probably go through a case of wine more than I drink a bottle of water. That being said, I can say I’ve gone through various cork screw openers: from the Rabbit Brand lever hand cork openers (requires a healthy wrist), to traditional cork openers (requires working out your hands such as twisting and pulling), to electric powered cork openers (requires batteries or recharging), as well as CO2 powered cork openers (requires a fresh CO2 cartridge after opening about 15-20 bottles of wine)...because the requirements of these devices require, none of these can beat the Wine Ziz. With the Wine Ziz, my daily life has changed the way I open a bottle of wine. Opening a bottle of wine should be simple. However, I sometimes chip the tip of the bottle using a regular cork opener; I sometimes crack the cork; sometimes the hand lever opener would get stuck. Now, for the Wine Ziz, the instructions is fairly simple, but I didn’t even bother reading it because it just seemed so simple to figure out on my own. I’d say it’s a 5 step process to open a bottle of wine with the Wine Ziz: 1. Use provided foil cutter to expose cork. 2. Insert needle in the middle of the cork. 3. Push down the needle all the way until it stops. 4. Pump 3-5 times until the cork works it way out or you hear it pop. 5. Pop! Poor the wine in your desired drinking object...and enjoy. There are a couple of things to note: 1. It does feel cheap, but it gets the job done very well. If it last longer than a year, that’s more than enough for me...but if it last a lifetime, than that’s even better off course. I’ve gone through 5 Rabbit hand openers and all of them didn’t last a year. So hopefully the Wine Ziz will last me at least a year. 2. There needs to be a way to protect the needle. Even though there’s a shield, I have a feeling that my clumsiness sometimes might one day accidentally poke the needle. 3. Although not needed, a carrying/storage case would be nice.
