admin — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 07:18:00 +0000

If you are looking for an automatic wine opener on Amazon.com, the Oster 4207 is one of their top selling units.

The motorized wine bottle opener used to retail at $24.99, but the price has been slashed to $19.95 lately.

The Oster has to be plugged into the wall with an AC outlet and supposed to be charged 6 – 8 hours the first time before you use it. This is very common for most electrical appliances with a battery unit.

When the unit is not charged, you will see a red light on the base unit and on the top. When it is fully charged, the lights will turn white.

The back of the charging base has a cutter to remove the foil on the neck of the wine bottle. Very useful indeed!

When the foil is removed, take the Oster 4207 corkscrew off the charging base and position it on top of the bottle.

Next, press the “down button” and the motor will kick in. Here’s a tip. Hold to the wine bottle with your other hand. If not, the corkscrew will not go in and the bottle will spin instead.

In one movement, the corkscrew will drill into the cork, grab it and pull it out. Next, press the “up button” and it ejects the cork automatically. Easy as pie!

Rabbit Corkscrew Versus Automatic Wine Bottle Opener

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 23:56:50 +0000

I found an interesting YouTube video that shows you how to use a rabbit corkscrew wine bottle opener. As you can see from the video on top, the rabbit wine opener is manually operator. All you need to use it is your hand power.

The rabbit corkscrew is pretty simple to operate. All you have to do is remove the foil with a cutter, clamp the corkscrew handles around the neck of the wine bottle and then push and pull on the other handle. The cork will pop right out.

The rabbit corkscrew is easy to use if you have strong hands. As you can see from the video, it does require some brute force to hold on to the handles. The wine bottle also tends to slide around the table.

A woman with small hands may not be able to use it quite well. A better alternative is an automatic wine opener.

With an electric powered wine bottle opener, you let the motor supply the force to drill the corkscrew in and yank out the cork. The only force you have to exert is to hold the wine bottle steady and place the electric wine opener at the top of the wine bottom. Next, press the “operate” button and the device will do the rest. Simple as pie!

The Proper Way To Open A Bottle Of Wine

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:15:36 +0000

Most of us enjoy either a bottle of red or white wine after a hard day’s work. We drink wine together with our food to enhance its taste and aroma.

Many people drink wine on a regular basis but most of them do not know how to use a wine opener the correct way. If you have guests over for food, uncorking the wine bottle properly is part of the whole dining experience.

What happens when you make a blunder when opening a bottle of wine?

Most probably you will make a mess and in the process embarrassing yourself and the host. If it is a major blunder, you might end up cutting your own fingers!

To open a bottle of wine correctly, start by using a blade to cut off the foil or plastic covering the cork. If this is the first time you are doing it, be very careful. One slip and you may end up with a nasty cut on your fingers.

When you are done, remember to close the blade and put it aside. If there is some wine spillage, wipe it clean with a damp napkin. The napkin can also be used to clean any dirt accumulated on the cork.

The next step is to use the corkscrew spiral. The metal spiral will actually go into the cork and act as the opener.

Before you twist in the corkscrew, hold the wine bottle at the neck with your non-dominant hand. Use your dominant or stronger hand to twist the corkscrew into the cork.

Twist the corkscrew down right in the middle. The key is to get the spiral go far enough so you will not tear the cork. Before you pull the cork out, hold the wine bottle close to your body for better support.

Slowly, pull the cork out until you hear a “pop” sound. Your wine is now ready to be served.
