I bought a corkscrew recently that was all plastic, thinking it would be perfect to take on the plane - no metal. I forget the brand but it's the same brand as a lot of the kitchen gadgets you see in the grocery stores. Well, it stunk! I couldn't get the cork out of my bottle, talk about frustration. The "screw" was made of plastic and just didn't cut the mustard in grabbing onto the cork so I could pull it out....don't buy this imposter corkscrew!!!
