“de Gaulle” Winged Corkscrew and Foil Cutter
A French Icon Since 1970
An emblem of conviviality and craftsmanship, the “de Gaulle” winged corkscrew has been part of L’Atelier du Vin’s collection since 1970. Instantly recognisable by its two broad levers—evoking the raised arms of General de Gaulle—it remains one of the most beloved and enduring wine tools in France.
An Iconic Bottle Opener, Reinvented
L’Atelier du Vin has reimagined this timeless classic with enhanced materials and refined mechanics. Its forged, Teflon-coated worm glides smoothly into any cork, while a five-step turn system ensures optimal grip and effortless extraction. The self-centring base positions perfectly on the bottle neck, making each opening fluid and precise.
Engineered for Strength and Authenticity
Crafted from raw zamak, a highly durable alloy, the body retains its original, uncoated finish—protected only by a transparent varnish to highlight its rugged, industrial character. Matte black rivets and oversized gears underscore its strong personality and mechanical precision. The result: a corkscrew that is both functional and boldly aesthetic.
Designed for Everyday Use
A reliable companion for any table, the “de Gaulle” corkscrew combines tradition with versatility. Its dual-lever mechanism distributes pressure evenly for smooth, controlled cork removal, while the built-in bottle opener easily uncaps beers and soft drinks.
How to Use
-
Place the tip of the worm in the centre of the cork.
-
Twist the handle to insert the worm—watch the wings rise automatically.
-
Press both levers down to extract the cork effortlessly.
A Heritage of Wine Craftsmanship
Made in Europe, the “de Gaulle” corkscrew embodies nearly a century of L’Atelier du Vin expertise—rooted in the Champagne region and passed down through generations. Sturdy, timeless, and symbolic, it’s as much a piece of French history as it is a tool of pure practicality.
