Product Description
The perfect tool for a romantic picnic or the tailgate, the Picnic Wine Master combines the functionality of a classic Swiss Army Knife with the sophistication of a five-star restaurant. The tools—a large blade, foil cutter, professional corkscrew, bottle opener, two-step lever, and keyring—are all crafted from stainless steel Read More
Cool knife, very handsome. Too expensive for my tastes, but it seems to have everything the wine connoisseur needs.
One suggestion for Victorinox: how about adding a cap lifter (i.e., bottle opener) tool to this and the Cheese Knife? I love my Victorinox Cheese Knife for picnics, but sometimes, I have a bottle of something else to open, such as beer or root beer. It'd be great if I could take just *one* knife for all my picnicking needs.

DDroI was a waiter while in college, we were issued this plastic crap for a wine opener that would break the minute it touches a cork. We often have to buy our own as we open roughly about 100 to 200 wine bottles a week. I could’ve used something like this and with a blade I would no longer have to use a butter knife to open or cut things, but I doubt I could’ve afforded it with my waiter wage. This is expensive.
What a worthless tool. If I have trouble with the screw top, I'm going to use my Leatherman. (You have to stop and think about how many bottles of Thunderbird one can buy for $110.) And if it did have a cork, they can be pushed into the bottle. They're not meant for reuse, are they?
14themoneyIf you drink a lot of wine that has a cork in the bottle, you know perfectly well why you need a corkscrew. If you don't, then don't buy this as it isn't for you. I don't see why you need to chip in if this isn't something you remotely need.
That said, this is a very overpriced SAK. I hope the corkscrew is better than that on the ordinary tools, which is hopeless and only usable if you have nothing else. As an ex-sommelier, I feel qualified to give that opinion.
James2132Because Drop maintains a discussion section, I feel that I can contribute my thots, even then the products doesn't meet my needs or seems overpriced or extremely worthless. The old SAK that I have that contains a corkscrew is only so-so compared to the better ones that I have had. As an ex-sommelier recipient, I feel qualifeid to give this opinion.
