Product details for Chateau Laguiole Giuseppe Vaccarini Best Sommeliers Corkscrew

In 1993, Master Sommelier Guy Vialis introduced the Chateau Laguiole® Classic, the first genuine waiter-style Laguiole corkscrew. Since its inception, Chateau Laguiole® has become a favorite among elite sommeliers worldwide and remains the top-selling and most counterfeited high-end waiter-style Laguiole corkscrew globally.

The Giuseppe Vaccarini Edition

This exclusive edition was created in honor of Giuseppe Vaccarini, who earned the prestigious title of 1978 World Sommelier Champion. As a historic champion and past president of the International Sommelier Association (ASI), he is celebrated for his profound expertise and dedication to the wine profession in the very design of this tool.

Handle Character: Designed with direct input from the champion himself, this specific model features a striking handle crafted from Lemonwood, also known as "Degame" (Calycophyllum candidissimum). Sourced primarily from the Indian Ocean region around Sri Lanka, this resilient wood is celebrated for its incredible strength and flexibility—often utilized in the crafting of archery bows and premium fishing rods. The natural pale, creamy-yellow tones of the Lemonwood provide a smooth, elegant feel in the hand, ensuring your corkscrew is both a professional-grade instrument and a unique piece of natural artistry.
