 Works but does it affect the taste?? Mar 28, 2007
By Kanoonoo Vintners
"REW"
As a vintner we remove the CO2 from the wine as part of our process. This device uses CO2 to "pop" the cork--very clever. However this minor introduction of CO2 is insignificant and will vent quickly. At times there is an off-taste --like a lubricant or something which affects the initial taste of the wine. Let it breath for a while -- 5 minutes or so and it seems OK.
This device works well on corks, but is a hit and miss on composites and plastics. Do not use it on partially filled bottles as it takes to much gas from the small cylinder to be effective.

Easy wine bottle opening Oct 01, 2009
By Alan L. W. GUNSUL
"Active elder"
I have been using cork pops for some years. I find them the easiest way to
open wine bottles. We average six bottles of wine a week so we really get
good usuage. These work just as well on the newer synthetic corks as well as
on the older real cork styles. With this system we never cork a bottle even on
some of the older bottles (25-30 yrs).

Pop goes the dragon Mar 28, 2012
By Gerald H. Frank
"J&J Catch-22"
Got here in good time. No shipping and now I can pop the cork on wine the rest of 2012 for sure. Did not know not to use this product on the 1.5 liter bottles. Maybe Bang goes the dragon. I have done it but must be the thickness of the bottle.

Cork Pops refill Cartriges Feb 24, 2012
By Dennis E. Karoleski
"I have seen things that you people wouldn’t believe."
When my wine de-corker finally ran out of gas, (before it's time, I'm afraid to say, due to my errors and sloppy attempts to pop hard synthetic corks out of bottles of cheap wine), a check on the internet for replacement cartridges reveled wildly varying prices. A search of Amazon's site reveled not only the best price but free shipping as well. Truly a win-win situation. The replacement cartridges come in a two-pack and are rather larger than standard CO2 cartridges you might use for your seltzer bottle. They are easy to replace in the de-capper and last an amazingly long time, (as long as you are weary of cheap wine corked with hard synthetic stoppers). Lest I scare off the cheap wine drinkers reading this, this de-capper works just fine on the soft synthetic stoppers, with only a momentary push on the button required to pop the stopper. By hard synthetic stoppers, I mean the kind you break your corkscrew trying to screw into. Arthritis had made opening wine bottles a trying experience but the CO2 de-capper has made it fun again. Warning! Warning! Greenie alert: involves CO2 gas - might not be politically correct in California and cause anthological global warming. (;->
