First to recommend

Sommeliers have to open multiple bottles - each time with precision, efficiency and a little bit of style. There's a reason they choose waiter's corkscrews as their weapons of choice.

This particular version is extremely well designed. The screw-pull is hardened steel with a teflon coating for smooth, easy, and clean cork puncture and extraction. The stainless steel handle that's used for leverage does double duty as a bottle-cap opener.

Best of all, the end hides an extremely easy to use foil cutter - just push it against the bottle neck, wrap it around, and the foil pops off. Much safer than the standard pop out knife, particularly after a few glasses.

$8-$30, Depending on where you buy it from. 5 Year warranty, made in Italy.

Jooxi tested and approved.

UPDATE: I may have made a slight mistake. I bought mine from William Sonoma, which recently stopped selling it. You can still buy it here: http://www.worldmarket.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3596781

The amazon link looks exactly like what I have, and I suspect is indeed the same thing, but I can't guarantee it.
