Questions fréquentes

What is a waiter's corkscrew?

A waiter's corkscrew is a sommelier's corkscrew: a single tool that combines a worm, a blade to cut the foil and, depending on the model, a lever, all on one handle. It is also called a sommelier knife. The Laguiole waiter's corkscrews from Fontenille Pataud, Château Laguiole and Forge de Laguiole are organized brand by brand above.

How do I choose a waiter's corkscrew?

For everyday use, a lever corkscrew like the Pulltap's from Pulltex is enough. For a lasting piece or a gift, a Laguiole waiter's corkscrew offers a wood, horn or bone handle. For an old wine with a fragile cork, choose a two-prong model instead.

What is a Laguiole corkscrew?

Laguiole refers to a type of knife and a French cutlery tradition, not a single brand. Several houses make them, and we carry three: Fontenille Pataud, Château Laguiole and Forge de Laguiole. The full selection is also on the authentic Laguiole page.

What is the difference between Fontenille Pataud, Château Laguiole and Forge de Laguiole?

Fontenille Pataud is a Thiers house founded in 1929, with a wide range of Magnum waiter's corkscrews. Château Laguiole, created in 1993, made the sommelier knife the heart of its house. Forge de Laguiole makes its pieces in the village of Laguiole, in Aveyron.

Which corkscrew should I choose for an old wine?

For a dry or fragile cork, The Durand pairs a helical worm with an Ah-So style two-prong puller. It is designed for old cork stoppers, and is not suitable for stoppers that are not cork. L'Atelier du Vin also offers a two-prong model.

Is there a left-handed corkscrew?

Yes. Pulltex offers a black left-handed corkscrew, a lever waiter's corkscrew designed for the left hand.

Are there electric corkscrews?

Yes. Final Touch offers a rechargeable electric corkscrew, and Pulltex an electric bottle opener, also available in a Monza edition.
