"An incredibly annoying idea. A difficult game whcih hides a bottle of wine - to get the bottle, you must solve the puzzle."
Evening Standard

Ive bought the caddy version for an Christmas prezzie - had to try it out as soon as it arrived. Took me a few goes to get it all together but once it's on it's going to be fun watching someone try and get the bottle out! Think I might have to get one of the other designs now!

Just brought the vice for my dad's father's day present. It's 1 week later and he hasn't got in to the wine bottle yet! I plan to buy the other ones for presents for the men in my wedding party. Knowing my dad's luck he'll just get into the first one when I present him with a new one to figure out! Fantastic!!!

I bought the vice model for my brother-in-law as a Christmas present (I like to shop early!) and just HAD to try it out first... After following the instructions and putting it together I was unable to take it apart again! Even WITH the instructions! I had to cut the string and tie it together again. Excellent gift.

Can you only use wine bottles with this (ie. Bottles with corks??). This sounds like a excellent gift for my boyfriend but thought about a bottle of Sambuca or something!
Firebox says: It doesn't have to be wine, as long as the bottle is of the same size as a wine bottle ;o)

Bought 1 each for my ushers and bestman. . Oh the joys at watching them fight to get into the £30.00 bottle of port. Worth every penny, (best man is still sitting in the puzzle 6 month's later).

My boyfriend bought this for his Dad's Christmas. After over 6 hours of hideous swearing and shouting he now has a bottle of Port safely trapped inside, and my headache is subsiding! Hope his Dad likes it. Only to be recommended for those with infinite patience, and a ready supply of painkillers!

I bought this thinking it would be a great puzzle for my wine loving friend. If it is as hard to undo as it is to set up then it must be good. However my friend managed to break it (the metal one) in about 2 minutes flat. I would have thought it would resist drunken frustration a bit better.

We bought this as a Christmas present and had a good laugh cos we tried to put it together without the instructions. We just went by the pictures on the box, totally baffled. Then one of us put it together and the other tries to get it out- so hilarious. We're giving the gift but not the instructions, we're leaving them with his Dad so it all depends on whether he's in the Christmas spirit or not.

I want to send this to my sister in Australia which one weighs the least the metal or the wood?
Firebox says: Through careful comparison, we have established that the metal one weighs marginally less Andy. However, there's only about 30g in it, so there's not much difference.

Speedy delivery or wot?! My know it all brother is going to get so frustrated with this when I give it to him for Christmas, excellent gift and thanks again for prompt delivery.
