The Durand offers an essential accessory for passionate wine lovers, the high-end corkscrew designed to celebrate the pleasures of tasting old vintages. Designed by wine collector Mark Taylor, this versatile and innovative tool combines the efficiency of a traditional corkscrew with the delicacy of a sommelier's wick.

The Durand corkscrew is a fully patented two-part device, providing the user with the ability to successfully remove corks from old and fragile wine bottles, preserving them whole and intact. No more inconvenience of broken, dented or partially removed corks leaving residue in the wine. Each uncorking becomes a hassle-free experience, allowing the vintage's subtle aromas to fully unfold upon tasting.

The Durand brand, founded in 2007 by Mark Taylor under Wining Taylors, LLC, pays homage to Yves Durand, a world-renowned sommelier, friend and personal mentor to Mark. The Durand corkscrew has captured the hearts of many renowned wine enthusiasts, collectors and sommeliers nationally and internationally.

When you choose The Durand on Athenaeum, you are opting for an iconic corkscrew model specially designed for old vintage corks. The Durand's premium manufacture and dual mechanism reflect the brand's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
