My old Screwpull has lost much of its PTFE coating. It doesn't work
too well with the plastic 'corks' sweeping the UK supermarket shelves.
What do you suggest to replace it? Is Screwpull still the best?

I have had terrible luck with the lever style pullers until my last an
under 15USd version from Costco called simply "professional corkscrew" It
is make of metal and is fairly heavy. The amazing thing is that it pulled a
synthetic cork out of my 2002 Geyerhof Gruener Veltliner last night and
then shed same without so much as a hitch. Smooth as the wine.

Really like the GV by the way it was my first. I sort of described it to
myself as like a Riesling only not. Had it with a rotisserie chicken (also
from Costco!) I am definitely going for more of this as an alternative to
Chardonnay based wines. SB just moved down a notch.
