Product Description
Do your finest wines justice with this handcrafted corkscrew. Made to order by craftsmen in the historic Aubrac region of France, it carries a legacy of tradition that dates back to 1829 Read More
Makes it a little easier to pull out older, more fragile corks. Grips them a little better. I've got a Chateau Laguiole corkscrew I picked up a few years back and that thing does a better job opening literally any bottle of wine than any other corkscrew I've tried. I wouldn't sell it for a lot now than I paid for it. The groove is one of it's features
Anyone know how many stages this opener has? It looks like its just 1 but its hard to tell by the pics. I’ve never been able to keep a cork intact with a one stage cork screw :/
smobotSingle stage.
Levered 2-stage wine keys with a Teflon coated tip are more efficient.
But not as durable over 100s of bottles.
And not as aesthetically pleasing.
The best corkscrew for difficult, old, spongy or crumbly corks is the Durand.
When you open a bottle of cheap wine with this corkscrew it will taste better.😈
I received this as a gift, and it is a nice piece, feels good in the hand. At the end of the day it performs no better than my $2 corkscrew. In fact, none of them perform as well as my super cheap one that uses 2 spring blades. I use that one to open my really old vintages with soft cork because it leaves them in one piece.
But..what if the varietal wines I prefer don't actually have corks in them? Does that mean I just get to spend the hundred and ten bucks on more wine?!
RayFRay, sorry but I have to nit pick here. These are not varietals but houses. Over here they are referred to as Chateau Thunderbird and Domaine Night Train. And we pronounce Target as “Tar-jay”.
