Color us surprised when we showed up to our neighbor’s house the other night for dinner only to spot a strange, duel-headed device on the counter. “Oh, that’s my rabbit,” our neighbor replied. “I use it all the time.”

We couldn’t quite believe what we were hearing. And to leave it for everywhere to see on the kitchen counter? We were shocked. Before we could utter a word though, our friend caught our disbelieving look and clarified what we were actually looking at: “This is my rabbit corkscrew,” she said. “For wine.”
While it may be easy to confuse it for a sex toy, the Original Rabbit Corkscrew is actually one of the best-selling wine openers online, thanks to its comfortable grip and lever design, that makes it easy to crack open your favorite bottle.
Rabbit Wine Corkscrew with Foil Cutter
Unlike basic wine openers, which are often hard to grab and insert into the cork, the Rabbit Corkscrew has two ergonomic handles that make it easy to grip around the neck of your bottle. The lever action inserts the spiral corkscrew gently into the cork, and pulls it out in seconds. There’s no risk or worry about corking the wine or having the spiral get stuck. Spread the handles apart to automatically release the cork from the wine opener once it’s out of the bottle.
The brand says its wine opener has been “tested for 20,000 cork pulls to ensure a premium, hassle-free wine opening experience every time.” The polycarbonate, metal and nylon material is sturdy enough to not slip off the bottle but lightweight enough to not put stress on your hands.
The Rabbit Wine Opener has solid reviews from thousands of verified shoppers online, with many commenting on how simple it is to use, and also how attractive it looks compared to other corkscrews.
The Rabbit Wine Corkscrew is available in black, silver or red and comes packaged in a storage case, making it great for gifting. The set includes a foil cutter with stainless steel blades and an extra replacement spiral. See full product details here.
We may have done a double take when we first spotted this “Rabbit” contraption at our friend’s house, but it turns out this is one device best left outside of the bedroom. Then again, after opening a few bottles of wine, who knows where the night will lead…
