Rogar Estate Opener Bronze with Dark Wood Stand #34334

Great to have an estate opener back in my house. It is a pleasure dealing with your company. I was having trouble getting my tracking number from FedEx, but I called and spoke to Stephanie and she checked it from her end. As I told her as long as I can speak to a human being about an issue, or anything else, then I will be a returning customer.

I purchased this wine opener for my parents wine bar . It’s a heavy duty beautiful detailed piece that also works amazing not only can you easily open a wine bottle but also re cock it . My only complaint I ordered the dark wood base and was sent black so doesn’t match the wood on the bar and that I had ordered.

This thing is amazing. I bought one for my wife for our anniversary. We have been using the Rabbit for 10 years and this opener is much better. My parents have had on for at least 15 years and it still works perfectly.

Item is beautiful, and works great.

I just received my new Rogar Estate Wine opener. It is just as sturdy and lovely as always. We have used the Estate openers for many years and at one time carried them in our Antique store for resale. We love them!

I had trouble with the opening continually pushing the cork into the bottle

Ordered this as Christmas gift for my son and daughter-in-law. It came recommended by two of my wine-enthusiast friends who each have had one for many years and according to them have opened hundreds upon hundreds of wine bottles with these openers. They said they have only replaced the cork-screw occasionally. The opener was shipped within a few days an arrived within a week. Perfect!!!!

Ordered two. One was damaged but IWA has moved quickly to send me a new piece.

I was looking for a bottle opener that was not only fast, functional, and easy to use, but also good looking and of good quality. This item checks all the boxes for me.

Very pretty. Took a while to ship because item was in back order but it was worth the wait.

How do I go about shipping one internationally? Really want to send this as a gift to South Africa. Thanks

Great material and very sturdy

I sent the Roger Estate Opener as a wedding gift and newlyweds loved it. The process of ordering from IWA is easy and the delivery is fast. I have owned one for about twenty years and I think everyone should own one. Opening a bottle of wine is flawless and recorking it is even easier plus it becomes a piece of conversation every time. IWA is a great company to deal with, very professional, and reliable plus they carry parts for this opener if you ever need one.

This opener is easy to use and very quick. Great for good size parties.

The only thing I can say is that it looks great. NONE of corks are fully extracted. After going through the process the cork remaining is either still lodged 3/4 to 1/2 of an inch in. To extract the corks fully I have to twist the bottles with a pull and twist motion. Last time I had to have someone else hold the opener while I twisted and pulled because the cork was still in the neck.

Reply from IWA
James, thank you for your feedback! The cork should be mostly if not fully extracted when using the opener correctly. Please make sure you start by holding the bottle in an elevated position near the opener - it should not be resting on the base while removing the cork, but instead held by the clamp - then swing the arm all the way forward (one direction only) - standard corks should be removed entirely. You can see detailed instructions here: https://iwawine.box.com/v/rogar-user-instructions. If you continue to have problems, please give us a call and we'll be glad to assist you!

My kids just received theirs and love it!!

Over the past 3 years I have purchased 2 of these wine openers, one for myself and one for a friend. Within a year, the handles on both were stripped and fell off, rendering the product worthless. One handle was replaced free of charge because it happened within 12 months of purchase. The other was out of warranty so I had to purchase another handle for this one. In seven months, this handle also became stripped =, rendering the product useless. I was very emparassed that my friend found his broken. I had hoped Frontgate would give me refund on my unit after all this trouble but the best they would do is issue a $100 credit. So my quandary: do I buy a new one I will have to spend an additional $60 to purchase where the handle will probably break after several months use? I open a bottle of wine once every 2 weeks, so extreme usage is not the problem. The product is simply poorly designed.

OK - CAVEAT -- we are a commercial winery tasting room. We open thousands of bottles a year. We have a couple of these things in operation at all times. And lots of spare parts. They look great, look really cool when you operate it. People are always impressed.

We keep a supply of spare parts. because things break. The plastic slug inside is the worst. It snaps at the most inopportune time. And if you have a bottle on the screw at the wrong moment, you are working to undo things.

Also, the newer versions seem to be made differently than the older models. They wear, grind and don't seem to flow as smoothly as the original Rogar units. We find the internal casing has severe scoring after a hundred bottles or so.

If you will be using this as a casual user, opening a few bottles a week, you will be fine and really enjoy this product. I would not recommend this product for a hundred of bottles a week.

We purchased a Rogar Estate Wine Opener, at Christmas, about 12-years ago. After (2) moves and many (MANY!) bottles of wine, it is still our only opener.
We liked it so much we purchased another Rogar Estate Wine Opener for my wife's sister, who's been admiring ours for years.
The perfect Christmas gift!

We love our Rogar Estate wine opener which makes opening a bottle of wine a special event. The easy to use wine opener is also a conversation piece when people see it! We keep ours in our bar on the counter for ease of use. Thanks for such a great product!

Purchased my second Rogar wine opener from IWA right before Christmas. Due to my late buy decision, wine opener would not arrive in time. IWA graciously allowed me to pick up from their Northern CA warehouse. From their folks on the phone, who always pick up your call, to the warehouse people everyone is courteous and professional and overly accommodating!

I gave this as a gift. It was back ordered but arrived just in time for Christmas. Craftsmanship is excellent and my son-in-law was ecstatic. He and my daughter are big wine drinkers and they’ve used a few times already. IWA was absolutely on top of my purchase as it was delayed. They got it done though! Thanks for making me look good!

The wine opener is well made and seems sturdy. My only concern is the actual spiral component is loose. Maybe that's by design.

This bottle opener is very high quality, and perfect for our wine room. Not only does it open bottles, but also recorks them! It look beautiful and is highly functional.

the wood handle does not fit properly
