Wine Keys & Corkscrews
Professional wine service tools. Waiter's corkscrews for elegance, electric openers for convenience, foil cutters for clean presentation.
Electric Wine Opener
Rechargeable automatic cork extraction. Modern convenience for frequent wine service.
The electric opener removes all technique from wine service—place it on the bottle, press the button, and watch the cork extract automatically in seconds. Rechargeable models open 30-40 bottles per charge, ideal for restaurants, wine bars, or enthusiastic home wine drinkers. While lacking the romance of traditional corkscrews, the consistency and speed are undeniable. They're particularly helpful for anyone with arthritis or hand strength limitations who still wants to enjoy wine without struggling.
Foil Cutter
Circular blade device for clean foil removal. Professional presentation for wine service.
The foil cutter creates clean, professional foil cuts in seconds. Place it on the bottle neck, squeeze, rotate, and the circular blade cuts perfectly even lines around the capsule. This prevents the ragged, torn foil that results from using a knife or the foil cutter on a wine key. It's a small detail that communicates care and professionalism—particularly important in fine dining or when serving expensive wines where every detail of presentation matters.
Waiter's Corkscrew / Wine Key
Double-hinge professional corkscrew with integrated foil cutter. The sommelier's essential compact tool.
The waiter's corkscrew is the most elegant solution to opening wine—a compact, pocketable tool that uses leverage rather than brute force. The double-hinge design allows two-stage extraction: set the first hinge on the bottle lip, lever up halfway, then reposition the second hinge for final extraction. This mechanical advantage means even long corks come out smoothly with minimal effort. The integrated foil cutter eliminates needing a separate tool. Sommeliers worldwide carry these, often custom versions that become signature tools they use for entire careers.
