Sturdy and easy to use
Color: Silver
Ordered this one to replace another type that snapped apart in my hand. The Beneno Wine Opener is sturdy and easy to use. The inner silicone collar helps guide the mechanism around the bottle and cork. Opening is clean and almost effortless.

Good Value
Color: Ash silver
I bought this to replace an older wine bottle winged opener that broke when I was trying to open a bottle with a synthetic cork. This one is made of heavier stainless steel and feels like it will hold up well.
