Laguiole

A French knife-making tradition from Aveyron, where the bee on the handle has become an international symbol of craftsmanship.

  • Laguiole gift set with corkscrew, foil cutter, pourer and stopper in box
    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.

  • Folded Laguiole corkscrew from the Capdenac series
    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.
