Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Pinzon is proud to present the Penguin Wine Opener--a reliable and easy-to-use wine opener. Simply follow these easy instructions to use the foil cutter, wine opener, and stopper, and you'll be opening bottles in no time.
To use the Pinzon Penguin Foil Cutter:
* Position the circular foil cutter over the top of the bottle.
* Press the sides of the cutter in lightly and twist a couple of times around the bottle.
* The foil top neatly removes to expose the cork.
To Use the Pinzon Penguin Wine Opener:
1. The sleek Penguin is designed to effortlessly remove a wine bottle cork.
2. Raise the lever and clamp the Penguin down over the neck of the bottle.
3. Grasp the rubberized inserts securely with one hand to hold the bottle steady.
4. Use the other hand to lower and then raise the lever in one smooth motion. (Although you can't see it, the corkscrew enters and pulls out the cork.)
5. With the lever up, lift the Penguin off the bottle. The cork will be inside the Penguin.
6. Lower and raise the lever again, and voilà! The cork slides off the corkscrew.
Note: The Penguin can be used to open wines bottled with regular corks, but careful use is advised when opening bottles with synthetic corks.
To Use the Pinzon Penguin Stopper:
* The stopper preserves for days on end the bouquet and flavor of a partially consumed bottle of wine.
* Plastic ridges on the stopper collar help provide an airtight seal.
To Replace a Cork Screw on the Pinzon Penguin Opener:
* Raise the lever and find the largest of three Philips screws in the body of the Penguin.
* Unscrew the largest Philips screw to release the cork screw.
* Pull out the Penguin screw and insert the replacement into underneath the lever. Then, re-insert and screw in the Philips screw where it was removed from.
Cleaning Instructions:
* Wipe clean with a damp towel and let air dry. Do not put into dishwasher.

This product removes wine corks so easily, but without the size and complications of the Rabbit corkscrew. You have to be a bit careful with plastic corks but there are not too many of those around. Otherwise, it is perfect for wine opening. I really recommend it for anyone who has arthritis in their hands.
 Amazing...when it works.... April 19, 2010
Laura Lee (Woodbury, MN United States)
Pinzon Penguin Wine Opener Gift SetWe had our first Penguin purchased from a local wine merchant for $65 for over a year and it worked great! One day, it froze completely. My husband was confounded and took the entire thing apart to try and fix it, to no avail. When I saw them advertised on Amazon.com for $24.99, I quickly ordered another one. A mere two months later, it locked completely. I am hoping I can return it without a problem. I really love that thing when it works! I would rather pay more for one that holds up.
Great bottle opener April 18, 2010
Candido D. Goncalves (Florida, USA)
Very easy to use and works great. Opened many bottles before with different gizmos. Definitely this is the best I ever use.
 Lever broke March 27, 2010
Alfred Russel Wallace (New Jersey, USA)
I was very impressed at its ease of use- and then after just over a year of regular use, the lever handle broke. It is now quite useless, and I am very disappointed.
Perfect as a gift too! February 1, 2010
Bernard P. Calahan (FL)
Shipped to me quick and can not live with out this! GET ONE for yourself.
