Great present idea
4I was a bit apprehensive about Vice Wine Puzzle after reading previous reviews, however, if you are thinking of buying it go for it. With reference to putting it on the bottle, the instructions worked fine for me as long as you read them properly and follow the diagrams well. The one thing I will say is, leave plenty of time to put the item on the bottle. It can't be done in 5 minutes. Patience is a virtue but it is definitely worth it. I didn't have any problems with the build quality. Gave it as a present and it took quite a while before it was solved, with a few hints from myself.

Vice Wine Puzzle
5I bought the Vice Wine Puzzle and attached it to a bottle of wine. It will fit just about any bottle. I gave it to my daughter-in-law and the instructions of how to get it off to my son. She struggled for some time before requesting the instructions. I think that only a few people would be able to solve the puzzle. It's very frustrating and even with the instructions is still not easy to resolve. Very good.

VICE WINE PUZZLE
5Bought the Vice Wine Puzzle for a friend as a fun Christmas gift. It's a fantastic, well made, fun, unique and inexpensive novelty gift. I have to say that the instructions to lock the wine into the vice are near on impossible to decipher from the leaflet. This is an excellent gift idea. I would recommend this item to all fun loving people.

Don't bother
1I was looking forward to giving this as a gift however my optimism soon turned to disapointment when I not only could not actually get the puzzle onto the bottle, but one of the glued pieces came off in my hand. The instructions provided would give Stephen Hawking trouble. Big disapointment.

fiendishly good present
5Bought this for my father and added a £15 bottle of wine. It took him 3hrs but it was good wine! Enjoyed every minute of the 3hrs watching him sweat....recommend it to all.

Wanted to put it in a Vice!
1Although this is a fantastic idea for a gag gift, I think the gag was on me! Three of us followed the instructions to the letter for putting the vice onto a bottle in order to give it to my mates as an Engagement present and we could not get the last knot! In the end, I gave it to them in the box with a bottle of wine and they still haven't been able to do it.

Vice Wine Puzzle
4I bought this for friends birthday, it kept 3 people occupied for about 2 hours before they cracked it! The only downside is the instructions - not helpful at all.

I want that champagne!
5I got this for my dad for Christmas. Took me about half an hour trying to figure out how to put it on the bottle (with the instructions), and then took seven family members all of Christmas day trying to get it off - they didn't succeed! Since then a good number of other family members along with friends, neighbours and the local MP have all tried, but the bottle is still locked :) I have promised my dad that if he hasn't solved it by next Christmas I will get him some power tools and he can take it off! Really good fun, and hilarious watching people struggle with it! Just glad that it's a decent bottle of Champagne that won't go out of date (though it may explode due to all the shaking!)! I'd recommend it to anyone, even non-drinkers, as it fits on pretty much all bottles. Thanks IWOOT!

Easy or Knot?
2It took me about 45 minutes to set up the 'vice wine puzzle' on a bottle of Baileys as a little teaser for the Mrs. When she passed on trying to solve it, it took my 12 year old about 30 seconds to release the puzzle (and 'no' he didn't get he contents!). Hmmm!

Useless Instructions
3The puzzle itself is great and a real talking point, but, and its a very big but, the instructions are terrible. The pic on website compared to the pic on the instructions are completely different. I managed to construct the puzzle after 7 hours because I read the reviews of others, still not convinced I did it correctly.
