I never could get it to work at all and tossed it in the trash. I just use the standard waiters wine opener - is flawless

There is a part just forward of the handle that you slide and the cork is pushed off the needle

there is a clear circular ring above the needle, so when the cork is removed, just gently press the plastic ring down and that pushes the cork off of the needle. Easy as it comes.

Good Question. Most of the corks that come out of my Belgian beer bottles flare out at the bottom which makes putting them back in very difficult. I could shave them down, but that is a messy hassle. I've been able to find bottle stoppers at my local liquor stores (and some at the dollar store!) that seal and work great. These have a lever on top that you push down to seal. Search Amazon for "bottle stopper" and look for the ones with levers on top. Best of luck!

You just pull it out. Make sure there is no water in it, and pull. Give it nice, even pressure and it will come out.

There's no adjustment needed. Twist the screw all the way into the cork. Press your finger on the top portion of the hinge and it will depress just enough to catch the lip of the wine bottle. This should remove the cork half way when pulling up the handle. The second half of the cork is removed with the bottom hinge hooking the lip of the bottle as a second movement.

To Seal and Preserve Wine: 1) Place the Wine Saver on the bottle. 2) Twist the top clockwise to secure inside bottle neck. 3) Twist top slightly counter-clockwise to unlock. 4) Pump the top to remove air from the bottle. To Reopen and Enjoy: 1) Lift top off bottle to release seal. 2) Lift top off bottle to release vacuum. 3) Remove Wine Saver from bottle.After you use it a couple times, these steps become automatic. The fuller the bottle is, the fewer pumps needed to release air. The less wine in the bottle, the more pumps needed to release air.

Just twist the circular part on the side and it'll eventually release. It should just slide right out.

Pick an edge and pry it slowly off...it kinda hurts fingers a bit..better tight than loose..good luck.

twist the opener from the top to the portion with the needle and pull the cork off.

I just tried to open a bottle with a rubber cork for the first time since I've owned it(bought it beginning of 2013), and it took a few times but eventually I got the cork high enough to just pull it out. The opener would not pull it out all the way.

HI Santoyo ! The person who responded first, already said basically what I was about to recommend ! Even suggesting the video ! No point in repeating !! The only thing I can imagine that might lead you to damage the bottle and not just the cork, as the cork issue happens to me, is that the cork is of a very hard type and is very stuck in there, as it HAS happened to me, but not to the point of damage !! ........... CHERERS my friend and mull this over a nice Cab !!

You can take the cork out with this device with only one hand. However to cut the foil off the top of the bottle you will need someone to hold the bottle and another hand to twist the cutter back-and-forth to cut the foil.

Sorry, I did not purchase this item. My cork holder is in the shape of a wine glass and I just drop the corks into the top. Janet

You can simply squeeze the outside of the prongs and twist the unit counter clockwise to remove the cork. HOWEVER, I strongly suggest you read my original review and throw this dangerous device in the trash. The device exploded a bottle in my wife's hand, severing an artery and causing her to receive 13 stitches. Using this is akin to playing Russian Roulette

a Hot glue gun would work, but I used the yellow carpenters glue. One string across the back of each cork. Cork is a wood and I figured a wood glue would work better.

I think it depends on the cork but to be honest you are in control of the corkscrew and can stop it before this happens. It works very well.

You twist the bottom and it Oprah and you pull the cork out. You can see the the twist part after the logo. Does this help?

I had the same problem with my Waring opener shortly after purchasing it, and never was able to get the cork out. I finally had to trash the opener and purchase an Oster cordless wine opener. I have never had any problems with the Oster!
