This Forge de Laguiole corkscrew features a handle crafted from authentic Vine Stock (Cep de Vigne). Sourced from retired grapevines in the French countryside, this wood represents a full circle in the world of wine. Vine stock is characterized by its incredibly dense, twisted grain and a rugged, rustic appearance. Because grapevines grow slowly and irregularly, each handle is a one-of-a-kind artifact, offering a deep, symbolic connection to the very vines that produced the wine it opens.
Handmade in Laguiole, France, these corkscrews—often referred to as the "Sommeliers"—are the only high-end waiter-style tools to feature the traditional Shepherd's Cross meticulously pinned into the handle.
Developed in collaboration with professional sommeliers worldwide, this tool’s ergonomics, elegance, and efficiency earned it the prestigious "Prix Design Plus" award in Frankfurt, Germany. Each masterpiece is entirely hand-assembled and completed by a single master craftsman to ensure the highest standards of quality and pride in the finished object.
Today, Forge de Laguiole represents the pinnacle of quality in the industry. With a reputation for integrity, ethics, and innovative design, this specialized team of 100 employees has established the brand as the essential choice for luxury Laguiole cutlery.
The Forge de Laguiole workshop is located in the historic village of Laguiole, France (population 1,300), the birthplace of this iconic style of cutlery in the early 1800s.
Grape Vinewood harvested in France - Extremely hard and dry wood that could very well be over 100 years old.
