Sommelier Black Horn Corkscrew

With its black horn handle that makes the polished stainless steel bolsters and rivets shine, this sleek Forge de Laguiole corkscrew can usually be found residing in the pockets of sommeliers in world-renowned restaurants. Although tastes and fashions in wine may change, this classic design will never go out of style.

Forge de Laguiole is all about ergonomic elegance, as demonstrated by their Philippe Starck-designed workshop in the village of Laguiole, and the knives they make – so loved that they have become synonymous with French gastronomy. Their whippet-lithe corkscrew is the go-to choice of the world’s top sommeliers, not just because it’s a thing of beauty and has a helix that glides through cork like a hot knife through butter, but because they’re light enough to slip into a pocket, gracefully functional and highly reliable. Each one comes with a protective leather pouch, as corkscrews like this can be passed down from one generation to the next.
