I do not drink wine, but my wife does. I will often open the bottle for her. We have a rabbit cork screw. The other night she hands me a bottle and the opener and foil cutter. I take the bottle and clamp the cutter on and twist and nothing comes off. I try again. Nothing. WTH?? I try again. This time, it works! I cut the top off a screw top bottle of wine with a foil cutter!
