Pocket Collector – Black, a Vintage Pocket Corkscrew

Pocket Collector – Black: An Updated 2023 Version of an 18th Century Bottle Opener

L’Atelier du Vin presents a revised and updated version of a corkscrew with origins tracing back to the 18^th century.

Faithful to the original design and now in hand-worked black metal, the Pocket Collector – Black is the ideal companion for connoisseurs to take from tasting to tasting, from the wine cellar out to the vineyards, from city to countryside, from the kitchen to the dining room. Its excellent grip and smooth, pleasant mechanism make the Pocket Collector – Black the ideal partner-in-crime for all your bottle-opening needs. Fold it and unfold it endlessly for the sheer pleasure and feel of fine craftsmanship in the palm of your hand.

A Pocket Corkscrew for Any Occasion

Whether in a dimly lit wine cellar or the middle of a vineyard, on a boat, or in a forest, whatever the weather, our Pocket Collector Black corkscrew is the perfect companion for all your indoor and outdoor adventures.

Just like a Swiss Army knife, water bottle, compass, or firestone, this compact bottle opener is a must-have tool for any trip, hike, or road trip, and ready-to-use in any situation!

The corkscrew is protected by a sturdy genuine leather case, with a buckle to fasten on a belt or rucksack. It easily fits into an oenophile’s pocket or a motorcyclist’s glove box. The mini Pocket Collector Black bottle opener is ideal to take on a wine trip to discover different vineyards and wines.

A Folded Handle to Protect the Worm: An Ingenious Mechanism

When the bottle opener is not being used, the worm is tucked away inside the metal folding handle. It only opens up into a T-shaped corkscrew when extracting a cork from a bottle of wine. Simply press down with your thumb and forefinger to fold and unfold it.

When open, this pocket bottle opener provides an excellent grip to pull out the cork. The worm’s sharp tip can also be used to remove the bottle’s foil cap if needed.

When closed, the Pocket Collector Black corkscrew is an ideal size, taking up very little space, like a folding or Swiss-army knife.

A Vintage Corkscrew to Delight Collectors

While updating this collector’s item, L’Atelier du Vin’s designers, engineers, and craftsmen reproduced the 18^th-century antique corkscrew’s original, highly resistant mechanism.

This old-fashioned winemaker’s and cellarman’s tool is both ergonomic and sturdy, typical of traditional utensils and tableware, everyday timeless accessories that last forever.

The Pocket Collector Black corkscrew is all black and stands out for its industrial look with the visible metal parts of its mechanism. The handsome, thick leather case perfectly complements the bottle opener, similar in shape to a satchel and in texture to a leather jacket.

Sommeliers, oenologists, and collectors of vintage corkscrews and art objects will love the authentic and hand-crafted feel of the Pocket Collector Black bottle opener. Beneath its modest exterior, this vintage corkscrew is steeped in history and culture: a small oenological masterpiece!
