Product Description
Product Details
This must-have corkscrew, with its head and two big levers that look like arms, comes in all shapes and sizes throughout the world. It owes its name in France to General de Gaulle lifting his arms into the air while addressing the public.
Our redesigned ¿de Gaulle¿ corkscrew is equipped with a special forged, ¿Teflon-coated¿ worm and a five-step turn to properly grip the cork and extract it. The ¿de Gaulle¿ corkscrew and sturdy spiral worm enables to effortlessly extract any type of cork without damaging it. The ingenious self-centering base helps to position it correctly on the neck, before plunging the metal into the soft cork.
We deliberately kept the body ¿ made out of particularly hard-wearing zamak ¿ in its original raw state, with a simple coat of transparent varnish and no chrome or paint, to emphasise its rugged nature. Its powerful matte black rivets and oversized gears further highlight its strong personality. The sturdy and authentic aspect of L¿Atelier du Vin¿s ¿de Gaulle¿ winged corkscrew can thus be seen at a glance.
How to Use a Winged Corkscrew
1. Place the tip of the worm in an upright position at the centre of the cork.
2. Twist the handle without touching the ¿wings¿, or levers, so that they rise up by themselves.
3. Push both levers down to extract the cork from the bottle¿s neck.
