The Italian Floor Corker is the Cadillac of corkers. This corker is very similar to the Portuguese corker, but with some upgrades. It is equipped with a brass iris compression fitting instead of plastic. A long handle gives you plenty of leverage and the corks go in effortlessly. This corker is very easy to use, and will last any hobby vintner a lifetime.

Does the job, 3 batches in the main action still feels stiff, which I take a a good thing. It's more wobbly then the other one(Portuguese I think), but it's taller, so makes sense. I wish the lever arm had 2 bolts connecting it to the mechanism, the one bolt allows too much play for my taste but it ok I guess. Have to tighten the bolts before and after a batch, but I refused to do more then finger tight, so that's on me. Overall, decent and would buy again, though I doubt I'll have to

Excellent investment
If you enjoy making wine the Italian floor corker is a must have. Easily adjusts to achieve the perfect cork depth. You will fall in love with this tool after setting your first cork and ask yourself why you did not invest in one before now. I make about 10 batches a year and this corker makes the wine making experience even better!

Not a review yet
If rather not review the corker just yet. It’s solid and likely more than I need. The bolt on the part that squeezes the cork is a bit too close to the end so the cork sticks out of the bottle about 1/4”. I’ve tried to move it back using a pliers but I’m stripping the bolt. I’m possibly not strong enough so I’m going to ask a handyman to see if he can move it a bit further out. Apart from that the corker is built for a lifetime.

Excellent addition to my wine making equipment
The corker works very well with little effort right out of the box. I would recommend this corker to anyone serious about their wine.

Italian Floor Corker
Much easier corker to use than the handheld. I only gave 4 stars because it should have rubber plugs or something similar on the legs to prevent scratching the floor. Also, the handle/lever isn’t the best design. It’s loose/flimsy. Still, it’s much better than using a handheld!!
