The Bilame (Twin-Blade) corkscrew is a timeless wine tool patented by L’Atelier du Vin in 1949.

Why Choose a Bilame (Twin-Blade) Corkscrew?
Unlike traditional corkscrews, the Bilame uses two thin blades that slide between the cork and the neck of the bottle. This ingenious design makes it possible to extract the cork intact, even when it is old, brittle, or porous.
Key advantages:
- Cork preservation: Protects delicate or vintage corks from breaking.
- Re-sealing option: The cork can be reinserted into the bottle, preserving wine for later enjoyment.
- Ease of use: With a little practice, the Bilame becomes intuitive, even for beginners.
- Versatility: Works with natural, synthetic, and aged corks.
For those who value precision and respect for fine bottles, the Bilame is more than a tool — it is a safeguard for exceptional wines.
