A genie out of the bottle. The sommelier's magic wand. The raw zamak of the Bilame Craft ® is a testament to its authenticity and a nod to the history of this mythical corkscrew. A genuine leather case, handmade in Italy, protects its mechanism like the tool of a great artisan. The fine blades of the corkscrew slip between the side of the cork and glass neck to open or re-cork a bottle, all with a simple turn of the hand and no forcing. Patented by L'Atelier du Vin in 1949, this opening system lets you extract the cork without piercing its surface – before putting it back into place as if nothing had happened at all.
