Friday, November 28, 2008 by Michal The Joggler Kapral
The new version of Metrokane’s popular Rabbit corkscrew, the Vertical Rabbit, is an elegant device that makes cork removal a breeze. Simply place the Vertical Rabbit on top of any size bottle of wine, push the lever down and then lift it up again. It will pull out and eject the cork automatically in just three seconds. This model goes for about $60 and comes in three colors: black metal, gun-metal and candy-apple red (pictured).

Michal Kapral has been enjoying wine at home since way before he was of legal age. The editor-in-chief of Canadian Running magazine runs marathons to burn off all the calories he consumes on wine and cheese. Kapral spent some time living in Italy as a teenager, solidifying his appreciation for all things wine-related. In his days as a journalism student, he was likely one of the youngest – and poorest – subscribers to Wine Spectator magazine. In 1999, Kapral turned down a job at a winery to work at Captivate, where he spent 11 years as a news editor.
