  Champagnebowl in Stainless Steel 33 cm

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280265

  Three bottles of champagne on ice, ready to be opened the moment your guests arrive - that is exactly what this champagne bowl is built for. The hammered stainless steel surface gives it a solid, handcrafted look that suits a restaurant table just as well as a kitchen counter at home.

  The Expert's Description

  The Champagne Bowl in Stainless Steel 33 cm is a champagne cooler in brushed stainless steel with a hammered surface finish, holding up to three bottles of champagne at the same time.

  The bowl is built for the moments when several bottles need to be ready at once - a milestone birthday, a wedding, or simply an evening where more than one bottle gets poured. The wide, stable base and tall sides keep the ice and water in place, so the bottles stay steady while you pour.

  Design & Material

  The surface is hammered in a pattern borrowed from traditional silversmithing, a technique where the metal is struck with many small, even blows to strengthen it and create a lively, uneven surface that catches the light. The stainless steel withstands ice water and temperature changes without rusting or losing its shine, and with a diameter of 33 cm and a height of 20 cm there is ample room for the three bottles of champagne it is designed to hold.

  Use & Care

  Fill the bowl with crushed ice and a little cold water, and the champagne stays cold for several hours - ideal if you are pouring throughout an entire evening. After use, wipe the bowl with a damp cloth and polish it dry to keep the hammered surface shining.

  Did You Know?

  The hammered finish on the bowl is the same technique old silversmiths used to make jugs and bowls stronger without making them heavier - each small hammer strike compresses the metal's structure slightly.

  Grahams Buttlers Thief

  Item no.: 2227865479-1106-197280322-192

  Long before anyone poured a glass, the cork stayed untouched. A cellar master or the house butler could still taste what was hiding inside the cask or bottle, with a tool that still carries their name.

  Expert's Description

  Graham's Butler's Thief is a wine-tasting accessory, a long, thin tube used to draw samples directly from a cask or bottle without permanently removing the cork.

  The tool is lowered through the bung hole or past the cork, after which the top opening is covered with a finger to hold the liquid inside the tube by suction. Lifting the tube and releasing the finger lets the sample run back out, a method cellar masters and sommeliers have used for centuries to judge how a wine is developing without disturbing the rest of the bottle or cask.

  The name dates back to a time when the house butler was responsible for the wine cellar and therefore had access to bottles and casks the household otherwise didn't watch closely. A tool like this made it possible to discreetly taste, or 'steal' a sip, without leaving any visible trace on the cork, hence the name 'thief'.

  Specifications

  Name: Graham's Butler's Thief
  Manufacturer: Graham's
  Type: Wine thief for sampling
  Use: Drawing samples from a cask or bottle without permanently removing the cork

  Did You Know?

  The word 'thief' in the tool's name is no accident: it dates back to a time when a cellar master or butler could discreetly taste, or rather 'steal', a sip straight from the household's casks and bottles, without it ever being noticed.

  Grahams Corkscrew

  Item no.: 22227865464-2021-03-0022

  Old Port bottles have a habit of hiding a surprise in the cork — long, dry and prone to crumbling into pieces if you go at it with an ordinary corkscrew. Graham's Port Corkscrew is built for exactly that problem.

  Expert's Description

  Graham's Port Corkscrew is an accessory designed specifically to open Port bottles with long, fragile corks, without the cork breaking or crumbling into the wine.

  Port is often aged for many years, both in cask and in bottle, and the cork in an older bottle of Port gradually dries out and becomes brittle. An ordinary corkscrew with a spiral worm risks boring straight through such a cork and pushing pieces of it down into the wine — particularly unfortunate if the bottle is being decanted in front of guests. A Port corkscrew is therefore built to grip the cork from the outside rather than drilling into it, so it can be drawn out in one motion.

  The tradition of specialised tools for Port bottles goes back a long way: historically, red-hot tongs were even used, heated and clamped around the bottle's neck to cleanly crack the glass, precisely because very old corks were too fragile to be pulled out. Today's Port corkscrews are a far gentler solution for the ordinary bottle of Port.

  Specifications

  Name: Graham's Port Corkscrew
  Producer: Graham's
  Type: Accessory – Port bottle corkscrew
  Use: Opening Port bottles with long, fragile corks

  Did You Know?

  Before modern corkscrews existed, red-hot tongs were used to open particularly old bottles of Port — the tongs were heated over a flame and clamped around the neck of the bottle, so the glass snapped cleanly off instead of risking a mangled, ancient cork.

  Laguiole Aerator Gift Set with 4 accessories

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727872

  Some gifts are hard to get right - others simply gather everything into one box and let the recipient figure out what to reach for first. This set belongs to the second kind.

  The Expert's Description

  Laguiole Gift Set with Foil Cutter Corkscrew Pourer and Stopper is a gift set from Laguiole with four wine-handling tools, gathered in one box. The Laguiole name comes from a village in southern France, where knives and wine tools of high quality have been made for generations, and this set is machine-made at Whisky.dk's supplier, but meets the same strict quality standards the Laguiole name is known for. It's a natural choice as a gift for anyone who appreciates a bottle of red wine and good craftsmanship around it.

  About the Set

  The set consists of four parts that together cover most of the work around a bottle of wine: a foil cutter for cutting the foil off the bottleneck, a waiter's corkscrew for opening the bottle, a pourer for serving without drips, and a stopper for closing the bottle again when it isn't going to be finished right away.

  Use & Care

  Use the parts in the order they're meant for - foil cutter, corkscrew, pourer, and finally the stopper if the bottle needs to be saved for later. The set is not dishwasher safe, so the individual parts should be washed carefully by hand and wiped dry with a cloth.

  Laguiole Corkscrew Capdenac Zebra 11,5 cm

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197176

  A name like Capdenac sounds almost like a village you'd drive through on the way to a French vineyard - and that's not far off. This corkscrew carries the same French pride as the rest of the Laguiole family.

  The Expert's Description

  Laguiole Corkscrew Capdenac Zebra 11.5 cm is a corkscrew from Laguiole in the Capdenac series, measuring 11.5 cm when closed. The Laguiole name comes from a small village in southern France, where knives and corkscrews of high quality have been made for generations. This model is machine-made at Whisky.dk's supplier, but meets the same strict quality standards Laguiole is known for across its workshops, and it's just as natural a companion to a bottle of red wine as its pear wood sibling.

  Design & Materials

  The handle is made of wood and may show natural colour variation from piece to piece, giving each corkscrew its own character. The compact, foldable construction makes it easy to carry in a pocket or bag.

  Use & Care

  Unfold the corkscrew, screw the worm down into the cork, and use the handle as a lever to draw the cork out. Wipe it down with a dry cloth after use and avoid submerging the wooden handle in water.
