The Blue Board

been opening wine bottles for my parents w/ a wine key since i was 7 or 8 years old. it's not rocket science, nor is it physically difficult. those rabbit openers are easy, but they are huge and imo, break rather easily (i'm sure there are higher quality ones that are better built than the ones we had at the restaurant i worked at, but the less moving parts, the better, imo). keep it simple.

I have had mine for years and it doesn't seem to be on the verge of breaking. A wine key is easy to use but this is even easier. When I am on my second or third bottle I don't feel like exerting myself at all.

i hate those things w/ a passion. never understood why anyone would use those.

If it is a good bottle of wine you should let it sit for a little while anyway.
When did wine become unmanly. Nothing unmanly about a strong bottle of wine and a blood rare steak.
But, you guys can keep drinking Budweiser and think that makes you more of a man.

Hell wine fvcks you up if you drink it fast. Figured this alcoholic BB would know a thing or two. But a good glass or five of wine is a pretty good way to relax.

Wine gives me hangovers worse than hard liquor does though.

I like a glass of wine from time to time but I can't just get hammered on the stuff. Same with Champagne as a matter of fact. Headaches are brutal on the stuff if you drink enough.

A waiters corkscrew or a wine key is only way to go. Rabbit is for women and nine dollar bottles.

If cork crumbles/breaks come in at an angle. (finish with a swirl, not a pinch)

That is entirely untrue. Cork breaking is often user error. Cork crumbling is mOst likely poor storage which by no means wine has turned.

You need a double hinged cork screw witch will give you leverage

Agree, never had a problem with that one. And jesus men are we really talking about the difference between a mens and womens corkscrew? Never occurred to me there was such a thing.
