Topprøvetrekker Bilame Classic | L’Atelier du Vin

Cork crumbled on my oldest bottle last week, but this two-prong slid in and lifted the whole thing out cleanly—no pierce, no mess. The black metal is slim enough for tight necks and it’s now my go-to for anything fragile.

The black metal finish feels solid in the hand, and the two prongs slid between the cork and glass on a fragile 20-year-old bottle without a single crumb breaking loose. Finally, an opener that respects the wine instead of attacking it.

Used it on a couple of old bottles with crumbling corks, and the two prongs slid in effortlessly without breaking anything. The black metal grip gave me enough control to pull slowly, which made all the difference.
