Schroeftrekker Chic Monsieur | L’Atelier du Vin

The stainless steel build gives it a nice heft, and the self-pulling system glides through the cork with almost no effort—I actually smiled the first time I used it. It's become the only corkscrew I keep on the counter.

Broke three cheap waiter’s corkscrews on stubborn bottles last year, but this stainless steel one yanks the cork out in one smooth pull every time. The sculptural body looks great on the counter, and the self-pulling system takes all the wrist strain out of opening a heavy red.

The self-pulling mechanism is so smooth it almost feels like the cork is sliding out on its own, and the stainless steel build gives it a nice heft that feels premium in hand. I've used it on a few stubborn bottles now and it hasn't slipped or wobbled once.
