Can anyone recommend a multi-tool with a wine/corkscrew? I have a trusty Leatherman I've owned since the 90's but doesn't have wine opener. Any experiance with the Leatherman Juice? I'm currently in Europe and one to many times arrive at a campsite with a bottle of local wine and realize forgot to pack a wine opener. i have since stashed wine openers in my Jeep and kitchen box but want something I can carry on myself.

Look at the Victorinox Swiss Army SwissTool Spirit Plus.

Oh, I don't know about that. I used my SAK corkscrew just today to open a nice cab while my wife and I were on a picnic. Maybe do a few pushups?
I have the Leatherman Juice C2 and recommend it. Has just the right amount of tools without all the bulkiness and so fits comfortably in your pocket. Corkscrew works fine. I'm always afraid I might chip the bottle with the portion circled below.... but it has never happened.

I agree with all the suggestions. I personally use a Victornox. But, my question is what can be carried when traveling on an airline with only carry-on? (Entrepreneur million dollar idea) First, let me state that I fully understand and totally agree with current security requirements and do not suggest anything other then following the law/rules. Yet, when we travel we always find ourselves some place cool and beautiful and a nice grape drink would be lovely and romantic, but I have to resort to a nice screwcap bottle (or box......I didn't say that out loud did I?). What a great EDC invention/addition. I'll help go fund it!.......love this stuff. Cheers!

forgot the wine opener once and tried a hack I saw where you put the bottle inside a shoe and ********** it against a hard surface , took about 10 wacks but it pushed the cork out to the point where I could pull it out by hand .

Gerber made a tool called the crucial, they had a few different variations of it but one had the corkscrew. Every once in a while one comes up on ebay.
I have a couple of these tools. They are about perfect for me, as they are a decent multi-tool, they are cheap, and they have the corkscrew, and actually they can be found cheaply but seldomly.
Nice to have a high quality expensive multitool when its needed. Nice to have a cheap multitool when it falls out of your pocket to the bottom of the lake, or out of your pocket while getting in your vehicle in the parking lot and not notice it. Try and find the middle ground, to me this is an ideal compromise. Buy 2 or 3.

No need to worry about carry on. I don't fly, I drive. Can't return home with much wine on a plane as you can in your vehicle.
I got a composite corkscrew once at a conference. It had a handle that slid inside the handle like alot of the plastic round ones but the corkscrew itself was composite too. I've lost it over the years but might be worth looking for one....I tried to find it at Amazon and found this one....might be something to check out.
