Pocket Collector – Black, a Vintage Pocket Corkscrew | L'Atelier du Vin

L’Atelier du Vin offers a revised version of this corkscrew invented in the 18th century. Faithful to the original design, in hand-worked black metal, the Pocket Collector – Black is the ideal companion for connoisseurs who can take it from one tasting to another, from the cellar to the vineyards, from the city to the countryside, from the kitchen to the dining room. Its excellent grip and smooth, pleasant mechanism also make the Pocket Collector – Black an ideal playmate. Indeed, it can be folded and unfolded endlessly just for the pleasure of it.

The All-Terrain Pocket Corkscrew

Whether it's raining or windy, in a dark wine cellar or outdoors in the vineyards, on a boat on the high seas or in the forest around a campfire, the Pocket Collector Black pocket corkscrew accompanies you on all your indoor and outdoor adventures.

Along with a survival knife, canteen, compass, and fire starter, this compact bottle opener is one of those essential tools to have on hand when traveling, hiking, or on a road trip. It's ready to serve and extract the corks from wine bottles in any situation!

Protected by a sturdy genuine leather case with a loop, it attaches to the belt of an adventurer or the carabiner of a hiker's backpack. It easily fits into the pockets of a traveling oenophile or the glove compartment of a motorcyclist. Ideal for wine tourism, the miniature Pocket Collector Black bottle opener invites you on a world tour of vineyards and wines.

The Helix Protected in the Folding Handle: An Ingenious Mechanism

Its clever folding metal handle protects the spiral helix when at rest. It only unfolds to form a T-corkscrew when opening a fine bottle of wine. A simple press of the thumb and forefinger is enough to fold or unfold it.

In the open position, this pocket bottle opener offers a good grip when uncorking for cork extraction by arm strength. The sharp point of the helix can be used to remove the bottle’s capsule if a proper capsule cutter is not available.

In the closed position, like folding knives or a Swiss army knife, it takes up minimal space, occupying almost only the length of the spiral rod hidden in the handle. The dimensions of the Pocket Collector Black corkscrew are optimal.

A Vintage Corkscrew for Collectors' Delight

To revive this tableware collection piece, the creators, engineers, and artisans of L’Atelier du Vin have faithfully reproduced the highly resistant original mechanism of the 18th-century corkscrew.

This winemaker and cellar master’s tool of yesteryear is a gem of ergonomics and robustness, typical of old utensils and popular tableware, these ingenious everyday accessories whose lifespan is infinite and design remains timeless.

Clad in black, the Pocket Collector Black corkscrew stands out visually with the raw look and industrial style of the visible metal parts of its mechanism. It perfectly matches the charm of its thick leather case, reminiscent of the cut of satchels and the texture of leather jackets.

With this authentic and artisanal spirit, the Pocket Collector Black bottle opener will charm sommeliers, oenologists, vintage corkscrew collectors, and art object enthusiasts. Under modest appearances, this vintage corkscrew is rich in history and culture: a small masterpiece of oenology!
