TM, I think the opener you originally displayed looked fancy and all, but it made me think of people who drive automatics not because they prefer them, but because straightdrives make them nervous.

Then it's the perfect gift. The person who will receive this doesn't like to drive and wouldn't drive a stick because it makes her nervous. She is also not a wine snob, but has considerable trouble opening wine with what I think is a pretty easy opener to use. The gift I posted looked cool and seemed fun and easy to use. Since she never entertains, it's not a gift that she would appreciate because it makes a statement about her superior taste.
I liked dtb's suggestion as well. I will check them both out. But I find it very funny that so many people have drawn the line at this product when every single person on this board has bought and will buy something that is more expensive than it is "worth" (that word being relative) because they thought it was cool. "Know it when I see it" -- please. Give me a large break.
