What's the best corkscrew available for under $50?

Tip for best answer: M$1.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Honestly... your plain waiter's corkscrew is cheap, reliable, and easy to use. You can get them for five bucks:

http://www.amazon.com/Pulltap-Double-hinged-Waiter-Corkscrew/dp/B0000AV1B9/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1251212345&sr=8-2

They provide lots of leverage for stuck corks. It's easy to stick one in your pocket if you're going some place with wine, you can open it even if they've lost theirs. (Corkscrews are easily lost, perhaps because consuming the contents of the bottle makes you forget to return the corkscrew to its home.)

They're easy to use and don't have much in the way of moving parts to break. If they do break or get lost, they're cheap to replace.

The rabbit corkscrews are easier to use and are definitely a nice thing to have if you drink a lot of wine, and it's great that they've come down into the $50 range. (They used to cost hundreds). But for my money, the waiter's corkscrew is only a bit harder to use, and a lot cheaper.

For under $35 on Amazon you can get the Rabbit corkscrew. I know this sounds ridiculous, but if you drink wine (or other bottled beverages in need of a corkscrew) with any kind of frequency, it'll change your life!

You position the thing on top of the bottle, easily and smoothly pull the lever down, pull it up just as effortlessly, and the cork is out. You pull down one more time and it pops the cork off the screw. And before taking the cork out you can use the little foil slicer thingie to cut off the foil.

Highly highly recommended -- even for occasional wine drinkers. Great gift, too...

First of all, you should look at what type of corkscrew is the best kind as there are many kinds that come in all shapes, sizes and colors and prices. This site give you a good review of the different types of corkscrews and which one is the best. This website also has links to places to buy corkscrews.

http://www.corkscrewnet.com/ParadiHowChooseCS.htm

This one from Amazon.com looks like a good one and has some great reviews. One review said "Somehow the pressure applied by this corkscrew will allow the most feeble cork to turn and lift."

However there are many out there. This site gives you listings of corkscrews with a wide range of prices.
