Oak wood corkscrew – French precision with every opening
This Forge de Laguiole corkscrew in wine barrel oak combines traditional French craftsmanship with professional functionality. The conical worm with five turns is designed to be gentle on even the most fragile corks, whilst the foil knife and patented lever arm ensure full control throughout the opening process. Each corkscrew is made in Laguiole, France, and bears the iconic bee as a symbol of quality.
Ideal for restaurants, wine bars and passionate wine lovers who value both function and aesthetics in their tools.
Craftsmanship that solves the challenges of opening wine
The conical worm is carefully designed to provide maximum control and minimise the risk of broken corks. With five full turns you get a secure grip on the cork without piercing through it – particularly important with older vintage wines. The foil knife cuts cleanly through the capsule, and the lever arm provides optimal resistance so you can draw the cork in one smooth movement. The combination of stainless steel and oak from former wine barrels gives not only a beautiful appearance but also a comfortable weight distribution of 100 grams that sits perfectly in the hand.
Value that lasts the lifetime of your wine
With this corkscrew, you hold a piece of wine history in your hand. The oak carries its own unique patina from its time as a wine barrel, making each piece entirely individual. The satin-matt finish and clean lines emphasise the premium aesthetic, whilst the well-considered construction ensures long-term durability. As a professional tool developed in collaboration with sommeliers, it allows you to open wines with the same precision and elegance as in top restaurants – and it only grows more beautiful with time as the oak develops further character through use.
Technical details and care
The corkscrew's total weight of 100 grams provides perfect balance between lightness and stability. The choice of stainless steel for the functional parts ensures durability, whilst the oak handle contributes warmth and character. To preserve the corkscrew's beauty and functionality, it should not be washed in the dishwasher, but cleaned gently by hand and dried thoroughly after use. Wood is a living material that will develop its own patina over time, which only enhances the corkscrew's personality.
