Possibly the best gift for wine lovers ever invented. Whether you're taking a bottle round to dinner at a friend's house, or giving a good bottle to someone as a present, this is without a doubt the best way to give it.
Don't Break the Bottle is an ingenious puzzle - simply lock the bottle up in the puzzle, and hand it over to the lucky recipient. At first sight it appears laughably simple to open, but first impressions are deceptive. It's hugely entertaining watching the recipient go from cocky to puzzled to deeply frustrated - especially whilst everyone else is chipping in with their advice... "No, loop that bit over there, slip that toggle round the whatsit" etc. They'll feel they deserve every last drop if they do finally manage to crack it. If they don't, aside from you crowing, you can put them out of their misery as it does come with release instructions.
Don't Break the Bottle is an ingenious gift idea for that 'perfect host', and fits standard wine, herb vinegar, and olive oil bottles (for non-booze drinkers). It's a great party piece and can be used again and again unless someone gets so frustrated they bring out the power tools.
(Does not include bottle!)

A brilliant way to annoy alcoholics! You should have seen my dad's eyes when I got his whiskey!
Conor, Lisburn
Brilliantly annoying puzzle, kept my girlfriend busy trying to get her wine for hours! Leaving me free to watch the footie in peace!
Dean, Fleetwood
This is a brill gift - my dad bought it for my mom and she took ages trying to get the bottle out! It was very funny watching her trying to get it out...
Jake B, BIRMINGHAM
Order arrived very quickly. Great puzzle - cannot wait to give it as a gift to my friend!! Thank God it has instructions for putting on and removal!
Mrs Mc, Manchester
Brilliant, gave it to my brother in law with a rather expensive bottle of wine. Had the whole family yelling suggestions on how to free it!! Load of fun for everyone!!
Angela D, Stockport
This is a great invention, and the answer is right in front of you. It's so easy but me and my boyfriend both had problems opening it at first and it was me who put it together. He he.
Carrie-Ann, Glasgow
Absolutely gorgeous present! My husband, an engineer, could not believe at first that this puzzle is solvable, but he did it!
Olga C, Harku
My dear hubby bought this for me and watched both my son and daughter become deeply frustrated! We are wedding photographers, and when prospective clients call to see our work we offer it to them... no-one's managed it yet!
Debbie H, Great Harwood
I gave this to my dad who loves all these sorts of puzzles and usually solves them in 2 minutes flat!
Locked a nice bottle of red wine in there to tempt him and 3 weeks later after much frustration he finally managed to get the bottle free - without breaking it!
Great present (and reward!) for people who love puzzles as this one takes a while to solve!
Naomi, Aylesbury
Great fun I bought three. One of the three went to a friend of mine for Xmas he is still trying to get the bottle of wine out , and he is using the instructions (he's not that bright).
Oliver C, London
My brother is a nightmare to buy for as he has everything so when i saw this I couldn't resist getting it along with a v.nice bottle of red wine for is Christmas. He loves jokes and found this very amusing but wasn't laughing for long when his soon to be father in law solved before he did!!!
Laura B, Aberdeen
Couldn't resist when I spotted this! Arrived quickly, and my friend was baffled for ages! Brillant!
Dee-Ann H, Lisburn
Got this for my father-in-law at Christmas with a bottle of his favourite wine inside.. He still hasn't opened it over a month later!! Anytime we're round for dinner and ask if he's serving the "nice" wine he just laughs and says he's saving it although we hear from his wife that he takes it out regularly trying to crack it! I reckon he'll get there eventually though.. fingers crossed - its my favourite wine too!!
Claire, Belfast
This gift was perfect for my puzzle (and wine!) loving friend. It took him the whole evening to solve it - incredibly frustrating for him, but very entertaining for me!
Victoria L, Birmingham
Remember, adjust the rope to fit the bottle size before setting the puzzle, impossible to adjust afterwards! Hence why I bought three, two to practice on and one to give to a friend/enemy.
Dave S, Warminster Wilts
Wow, this thing is so cool! It arrived before I'd even been able to get the bottle of wine to lock into it so I had to practice initially on a ribena bottle, and after I worked out how it went on I showed 3 other people who were so frustrated that they banished it from their room in anger, brilliant! I bought it for someone's birthday and I'm hoping to get her equally frustrated. Aren't I a wonderful friend? *evil laugh*
Nick dF, Taunton
This thing should come with a health warning!! I gave it to my Dad, who smugly started to undo it, thinking it would be a doddle. A fortnight later, and funnily enough, hes not smug anymore! Looks so easy, but its SO hard!
Jayne, Birmingham
Absolutely brilliant! Bought it for a friend who's into puzzles and wine... perfect! I had as much fun putting it together too!
Ann, Ipswich
Got my dad his fave bottle of red.. locked it up nice and tight and took it round. 25 solid minutes it took him while i watched in amazement as he tried looping folding flipping and tipping in every possible way but the correct way to release it. A real funky gift! Highly recommended.
