Twin-blade raw zamak corkscrew

Unveil the magic with the Bilame Craft® corkscrew, a piece of living history shaped from pure zamak. Its authentic design is a tribute to the legacy of an iconic wine opening tool.

Encased in a bespoke, genuine leather pouch crafted by artisans in Italy, this corkscrew guards its unique mechanism meticulously. The precisely engineered blades slide effortlessly between the cork and bottle neck, allowing you to open or seal a bottle with a gentle twist, entirely without strain. Invented by L’Atelier du Vin in 1949, the innovative design of this opener preserves the cork’s integrity by extracting and reinserting it seamlessly, as if untouched.

How to Operate the Bilame Craft® Corkscrew

1. Position the longer blade between the cork and the bottle neck, and the shorter blade on the opposite side.

2. Gently rock the handle to slide the blades down completely.

3. While pulling upward, twist the handle to ease the cork out smoothly, avoiding any force.

A Legacy of French Craftsmanship Enclosed in Leather

Crafted and perfected in France, the Bilame bottle opener carries a patent from 1949 by Sanbri®, under the prestigious L’Atelier du Vin® brand. This dual-blade opener, originally favored by waiters for discreetly sampling wine, features a raw zamak build and an Italian leather pouch stitched by hand, celebrating the robust elegance of traditional wine accessories.

Distinctive Twin-Blade Design

With its stark, functional aesthetic, the zamak twin-blade bottle opener distinguishes itself through its simplicity and effectiveness. The bare zamak texture emphasizes the tool’s robust quality, equipped with a solid handle for a dependable grip. The twin blades, once unsheathed, fit perfectly between cork and bottle, exemplifying superior technical and ergonomic prowess.

Artisan-Crafted Leather Pouch

The exquisite pouch of the Bilame Craft corkscrew, stitched in Italy with vibrant red thread and fashioned from premium leather, showcases the hallmark of true artisanal craft. This combination of tactile leather and cool metal enhances the aesthetic, safeguarding the blades and ensuring the tool’s longevity across generations.

Essential for Aged Wine Enthusiasts

Especially valuable for those with cellared wines, the Bilame Craft opener addresses the delicacy of aged corks that might disintegrate under less careful methods. Renowned among vintners, merchants, and expert sommeliers for its gentle handling, this tool is indispensable for opening matured bottles, making it a prized asset for any wine collector.
