Handmade in Laguiole, France, the Forge de Laguiole corkscrews, often called the “Sommeliers,” are the only high-end waiter-style corkscrews to feature the traditional shepherd’s cross on most models (check photos).

Forge de Laguiole created this wine opener in collaboration with professional sommeliers in France and worldwide. Its ergonomics, elegance, and efficiency earned it the “Prix Design Plus” (the Design Plus award) in Frankfurt, Germany. Additionally, each of these incredibly efficient masterpieces is entirely hand-assembled and completed by the same craftsman to ensure pride in the finished object.

The Forge de Laguiole workshop is located in the tiny village of Laguiole, France – Pop. 1300 – where the famous style of knife first appeared in the early 1800s.
