Jolly: First few bottles completed effectively! This replaced a much loved and long serving “Bull Pull”. It is simple and easy, fast and efficient.

Yanic: A mon avis le meilleur ouvre bouteille sur le marché. Un peu dispendieux mais quelqu’un qui ouvre beaucoup bouteille sera heureux d’investir dans cet outil qui fonctionne très bien.

HandyElderGuy: I purchased the Vertical Rabbit after reading the reviews by others on Amazon. After attempting to use it, I have concluded that we must be living in different universes, as the unit fails to work at all. My partner and I have made numerous attempts to remove corks from a variety of wine bottles, all without success. I have used a more expensive version of the product, which did work as advertised, but the Vertical Rabbit that I purchased, rather than having a defective mechanism, appears to be based on a flawed design. Simple in concept, the spiral is intended to rotate and insert into the cork on the downstroke, and then remain in the cork while being pulled out of the bottle on the upstroke. (When the black grip and red handle are squeezed together around the neck of the bottle, a release lever inside is depressed for the purpose of preventing rotation of the spiral during the pull.) The instructions explain none of this, however, and are limited to "Insert Corkscrew", "Pull Cork" and "Eject Cork". Nor are the on-line FAQs any better, suggesting that if you have any problems it must be your fault for not having read the instructions thoroughly. If any of...

J. Anderson: I open 1-2 bottles of wine a week and prior to purchasing the Vertical Rabbit, owned an inexpensive three handle rabit opener as well as a teflon coated screw top type. The three handle rabbit worked fine for a couple of years, though it took a bit of coordination for guests to use. However, it later gave out, and would simply screw in and out without extracting the cork. So I went back to my teflon coated screw type and it worked well with a bit of twisting effort, until the plastic broke.

So in this search I wanted a better quality product that was still easy to use. After ready many positive reviews on the Metrokane Vertical Rabbit, I decided to give it a try.

Ease of use: This corkscrew takes a couple bottles to get used to, but once you do, it is very easy to use. Because it requires some pressure around the base, I would say this is not ideal for women with small hands. My wife is taller and can use it just fine. The lack of side handles is a plus in my mind. Simply raise the lever up, drop over the bottle, squeeze, and press down on the lever. Then repeat off the bottle and the cork drops off effortlessly. Couldn't be more...

L. Garrett: Not long ago I wrote a review of the Screwpull Revolutionary New Lever Pull. I've since also acquired a Metrokane Vertical Rabbit and I'm so happy with it that I feel compelled to write a review on it as well.

While the Screwpull is lovely and sculptural, the Metrokane is sexy and fun. The former is priced from $130 to $150 on Amazon, and the latter is $50 to $60. Each comes with a foil cutter, but the Metrokane also comes with a replacement screw. The Screwpull arrives in a very attractive leather presentation case which would look good anywhere, whereas the Metrokane arrives in a hinged plastic container which you could probably throw away. The taller and more angular Screwpull seems to be largely made of metal and has a noticable heft; the Metrokane handle is made of metal, but the body is plastic. It doesn't feel nearly as substanial as the Screwpull, but I don't find that to be a problem. Both pullers stand upright and would look fine perched on a table or sideboard.

As of this writing, the taller and more angular Screwpull seems to be offered only in satin with black accents, and the curvy Metrokane in black, gunmetal gray, and the one I...
