I’ve just had the pleasure of staying with some friends in their lovely new house and I’d like to get them a small gift as a thank you. The one thing that was completely out of place in their home in terms of looks and effectiveness was their corkscrew so I’d like to get a decent one for them.

Some that I’ve seen (Le Creuset, Joseph and Joseph) look good but have got poor reviews so I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation?

Screwpull Lever, in a set with the foil cutter. One of the simplest, most effective designs.

Mine is over 20 years old, used probably every other day, still works like new.

I have a basic screwpull- it is at least 35 years old and works perfectly

Screw pull. The older ones were most substantial in their manufacture. Have a new one after breaking ours and it feels flimsier.
