Built Wine Ratchet Magnum
by Laurie Hartzell

Skillfully popping a cork out of a bottle of wine has become a lost art thanks to high-tech (and often superfluous) gadgets that gently and effortlessly allow us to open our favorite vino. The Wine Ratchet Magnum combines the skill of a traditional corkscrew with the ease of a more complex tool (like the Rabbit), pleasing both old-school oenophiles as well as techies. The set includes a ratcheting handle, foil hook, a storage container and two interchangeable stainless steel screwbits for pulling out any cork. All you need to do is ratchet down, spin the cork and pull to pop open the wine and get the party started. You'll impress your friends, but even they won't know how easy it is.
