New additions
to Metrokane’s Rabbit collection make entertaining easier than ever
New
York, NY – If it’s not broken
don’t fix it. But why not completely change
it? Metrokane has done just that with
a new model of the ever-popular Rabbit®
corkscrew. The new Vertical Rabbit offers the same great cork pulling efficiency and
ease as the original with a sleek new design that conveniently fits on top of
any wine bottle. To use, place the Vertical
Rabbit over the neck of a corked wine bottle, gently pull the lever, and the
Vertical Rabbit pulls and ejects the
cork automatically in just three seconds. The
effortless process reduces annoyances that often arise when de-corking wine, including
broken and stuck corks. Packaged in a hinged Lucite storage case, the
Vertical Rabbit has a die-cast metal
lever handle with rubber grips and comes complete with a foil cutter. It is available in Black Velvet and two hi-sheen finishes: Gun-Metal and Candy-Apple Red. Suggested retail price – $60.00.
In addition
to the new Vertical Rabbit, Metrokane’s Rabbit collection features
a variety of wine and barware accessories that are perfect entertaining whenever
and wherever wine is served. Designed
with a built-in strainer, Metrokane’s
ingenious new Flip-Top Cocktail Shaker
makes bartending easier and more efficient than ever. Simply pour drink ingredients and ice into the
shaker, push the flip top lid closed, and shake. The flip top closes securely so that drinks
can easily be shaken or strained with one hand allowing busy bartenders to grab
glasses while they mix. Durable and dishwasher-safe, the Flip-Top Cocktail Shaker has a double-wall construction ensuring that
the shaker never gets too cold or uncomfortable to hold. Suggested retail price – $30.00. The
Rabbit Wine Shower Funnel with Strainer
is perfect for those who want the benefits of decanting red wine. The unique funnel creates a “shower” when wine
is poured through to decant, speeding up aeration for improved flavor and bouquet.
Additionally, the strainer filters sediment that often develops in fine
red wines during the aging process as well as pieces of cork that might crumble
from an old bottle. The dishwasher-safe product is made of a polished
stainless steel. Suggested retail price – $20.00. The awarding-winning
Rabbit corkscrew is now available in
a pale pink finish, which represents Metrokane’s
commitment to breast cancer research. Metrokane is donating 5 percent of the
proceeds from the sale of each pink Rabbit
to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center
in New York City. Like
the original Rabbit corkscrew, this
model pulls and releases a cork in 3 seconds flat. It works on all types of wine bottles and has
soft “grip pads” for easy leverage. In
addition to a foil cutter and extra spiral, this model includes a Wine Pourer
with Stopper, which seals wine air tight and helps create a smooth, drip free
pour. Suggested retail
price – $50.00. The
ZIPPITY Rabbit® comes in a zippered case
with clear window – perfect for picnics and barbeques. The brilliant chrome-finish of the Rabbit® with die-cast metal body looks
fabulous on your bar and comes complete with matching polished chrome foil cutter
and extra spiral. The ZIPPITY can pull
any type of cork including plastic. Suggested
retail price – $80.00. “Our Rabbit® is the most talked about corkscrew,”
says Riki Kane, president of Metrokane.
“People feel like they’re getting something they’ve always wanted – the ultimate
cork pulling machine.” Metrokane’s VIP Edition of the Rabbit® is the perfect gift for the oenophile on your list. The special edition of the sterling Rabbit® with leather grip pad sits in
a trophy-style leather and chrome gift case that can be monogrammed
for the VIP on your gift list. Suggested
retail price – $125.00. About
