Preserve the Integrity of Your Wine with the Bilame Twin-blade Corkscrew
The Bilame corkscrew, a favorite among French bistrot waiters, allows for a stealthy sip of wine without piercing or crumbling the cork. This tool’s legendary design lets you remove and replace corks seamlessly, keeping your wine tasting activities discrete.
How to Operate the Bilame Twin-blade Corkscrew:
- Start by inserting the tip of the longer blade, followed by the shorter blade.
- Use short, alternating vertical movements to rock the blades down into the cork.
- Once fully inserted, twist and pull to remove the cork effortlessly.
A Staple of French Craftsmanship
Developed in 1949 and patented by L’Atelier du Vin, this twin-blade bottle opener is a testament to French design and engineering. Used by sommeliers and wine merchants, it’s ideal for handling bottles with delicate corks without damaging them.
An Elegant and Authentic Design
Redesigned in our Paris studio, the Bilame Classic offers a blend of elegance and functionality. Its sleek, black finish and straightforward design echo the traditional tools used in vineyards, refined to enhance handling and use. This corkscrew is a celebrated classic, embodying decades of French expertise in wine accessory design.
Designed for the Wine Enthusiast
Wine lovers will appreciate the Bilame Classic’s robust construction and ergonomic handle, which ensures a comfortable grip for all actions required in opening a bottle. The manual corking and uncorking process becomes an integral part of the sommelier’s art.
Innovative Cork Extraction
The Bilame Classic corkscrew employs a unique extraction method that leaves no trace. Without relying on a spiral worm, double lever, or other complex mechanisms, it uses twin blades to slide corks in and out of the bottle seamlessly. This method not only opens the bottle but also extends the life of your wine by allowing you to reseal it perfectly.
More Than Just a Corkscrew
The Bilame isn’t just for opening bottles—it’s also a wine preservation tool. Enjoy a glass or two without the need to finish the bottle; simply recork it with the Bilame Classic and save the rest for later. It stands out in the market as the only corkscrew that can both uncork and recork a bottle flawlessly, making it an indispensable accessory for any wine aficionado.
