SWM on the rebound from recently broken long-term relationship with corkscrew, desperately seeks new long-term relationship with simple, waiter's corkscrew to be used on an almost daily basis. Recent one-bottle stands have left me unsatisfied and I'm in search of a reliable, sturdy corkscrew that's willing to perform on demand. Mistreatment of corks won't be tolerated.

This is what I use. It's pricey, but it has stood the test of time: http://ww2.williams-sonoma.com/cat/pip.cfm
If that doesn't work search for: Rösle Waiter's Corkscrew
I can't recommend anything quite that simple, but the wine opener from Brookstone is by far the best I've ever used. It goes through the cork like butter.
What's the matter with the bunny-eared gal? I've never had a problem with her... Perhaps too clunky?
My wife "borrowed" the waiter's corkscrew she was given as a server at a G-Town restaurant. That was five years ago and it's still going strong. I don't really see a career in food service as your thing, though...
I could recommend a lonely bunny eared gal, but I take it she's not your type. Oh well, some day she'll find her true soul mate at the thrift shop.
