L'Atelier du Vin "de Gaulle" Lever Corkscrew

The "de Gaulle" winged corkscrew and foil cutter has been an iconic tool since 1970 in L’Atelier du Vin’s range and still remains timeless to this day. This must-have corkscrew, with its head and two big levers that look like arms, comes in all shapes and sizes throughout the world. It owes its name in France to General de Gaulle lifting his arms into the air while addressing the public. L’Atelier du Vin carefully selected each component of the corkscrew’s mechanism to ensure that it is robust and easy to use. The redesigned “de Gaulle” corkscrew is equipped with a special forged, “Teflon-coated” worm and a five-step turn to properly grip the cork and extract it. The de Gaulle winged corkscrew is multipurpose, like a sommelier bottle opener. The head includes a large bottle opener to gently remove beer or lemonade caps of any size. Which means you only need one tool to uncork or uncap any type of wine bottle or fizzy drink. This sturdy and user-friendly corkscrew’s two lever mechanism enables to extract corks efficiently and effortlessly. Indeed, its renowned mechanism combines the benefits of an endless corkscrew and those of a lever corkscrew. The pressure required to extract the cork is spread over both arms, thus reducing the effort by half compared to a single lever system. This popular bottle opener, with its instantly recognisable silhouette, is among the French’s favourite table utensils. From one generation to the next, the “de Gaulle” corkscrew is used at family dinners or to share a good bottle of wine with friends.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
