Our first Pedrini corkscrew broke after about 20 years of service and so I bought this one on Amazon. When it arrived, the corkscrew appeared to be of lighter weight and sturdiness but other than that was identical in function. Eager to try it out, we tried to open a bottle of wine capped with a synthetic cork. Much to our surprise instead of pulling the cork, the corkscrew itself was pulled out of the cork and the cork held fast. Fortunately we had a manual corkscrew which pulled the cork with no problem. After examining the corkscrew, it appears that the diameter of the corkscrew shaft is smaller and doesn't exert enough pulling force to do the job. I did not try the corkscrew on a bottle of wine with a natural cork stopper to see if it could do the job. I don't think anyone wants to have their wine selection dictated by the type of cork their corkscrew will pull. I think it is reasonable to expect a corkscrew to pull any cork evey time so I would recommend you pass on this product.Product Description
