Why choose a Metrokane wine opener?

Metrokane has the runs on the board. They’ve been around since 1983 and stand behind their Rabbit branded wine openers with a 10 year warranty. In fact the orginal rabbit corkscrew has to be considered a jewel in Metrokane’s crown.

 

It’s an award winner so you can be confident you’re buying a quality tested product in Metrokane’s Rabbit corkscrew. Made to last the corkscrew and tools are constructed from high quality materials. 

 

Elegantly finished in a choice of brushed black or soft silver velvet the wine opener is designed so opening any bottle of wine is not only easy, but quick courtesy of the smooth fluid action provided via the lever handle and grip design.

 

As a specialist in bar products, Metrokane has a range of useful accessories like the stoppers, chilling Carafe, waiter’s corkscrew, wine sealers rechargeable electric corkscrew and Houdini rabbit corkscrew.  (Note the Houdini corkscrew comes with a 5 year warranty whereas the Rabbit is covered by 10 year warranty.)

 

What’s good to know?

By the way, Metrokane corkscrews have been independently tested for 20,000 cork pulls. It’s assumed the worm (or spiral) will be replaced after 1,000 pulls. The package comes with 1 worm installed and 1 extra.

 

  • After opening your first 2,000 bottles (approx) and it’s time for a replacement worm, they’re readily available. See the addendum at the bottom of the page for links to Metrokane replacement worm for Rabbit and Houdini corkscrews spirals.
  • In case you’re not familiar with what a ‘wax whacker’ is, it’s purpose is to remove wax and flip the wax off the wine cork.
  • To use the foil cutter you just have to use a ‘squeeze and twist’ motion to cut away the foil covering.
  • A wine sealer should fit tightly around the bottle neck and is used to preserve freshness of wine for longer and maintain champagne bubbles.
  • The set buy gives value. When we compared prices, you’re not paying much more for the bar accessories.

Is a lever corkscrew easy to use?

It’s almost effortless and operated using a simply lever action. You don’t need any arm strength to pull out even the toughest of corks. The handles clamp around the neck of the bottle. Push the lever to drive the worm into the cork and lift the lever to pull the cork out of the bottle. To release the cork clamp handles around cork and repeat the same lever action.
