"The next time you find yourself battling with a cork wedged intractably in the neck of a wine bottle, think of your predecessors in 17th and 18th centuries...If the cork was too loose, the wine would spoil. Once a decent corkscrew was invented, it changed the ritual of opening a bottle of wine." 2/2007.

Forbes. "For a stocking stuffer, you can't go wrong with the Tire-Bouchon Zig-Zag (tire-bouchon means "cork pull," mes amis), an accordion-like, kinetic sculpture of a corkscrew that works like a dream, saving your wrist from the dreaded effects of "sommelier's syndrome"-kind of like tennis elbow, except that I just made it up-and graceless wrassling with a recalcitrant cork. The Zig-Zag has a satisfying heft to it, pops bottle caps as a sideline and most importantly, makes a mundane chore fun again. " 11/15/2004.
