An iconic corkscrew designed for those who appreciate fine wine and quality craftsmanship. Its raw zamak finish highlights its authentic character, while the elegant genuine leather pouch, handcrafted in Italy, protects the mechanism and reflects a long tradition of artisanal workmanship.
The two slim blades slide between the cork and the neck of the bottle, allowing you to remove or reinsert the cork without piercing it or using excessive force. A simple twisting motion of the hand is all it takes. Patented by L’Atelier du Vin in 1949, this system is ideal for preserving even the most delicate corks.
How to use
1. Insert the longer blade between the cork and the bottle neck.
2. Insert the shorter blade on the opposite side.
3. Gently move the handle back and forth until both blades are fully inserted.
4. Twist the handle while pulling upward slowly to extract the cork without forcing it.
Designed in France, finished in Italy
The Bilame Craft is entirely designed and manufactured in France and has been patented since 1949. Once a favourite tool of French bistro waiters, it allowed bottles to be opened and resealed without damaging the cork.
Its thick genuine leather pouch, hand-stitched in Italy with distinctive red thread, was designed by Margherita Matticari. It protects the blades and ensures the corkscrew remains durable for years to come.
Timeless design, authentic materials
The raw zamak construction gives the corkscrew a clean, understated appearance with a distinctive tactile finish. The handle provides a secure and comfortable grip, while the two blades are precisely spaced to slide smoothly between the cork and the glass, ensuring a gentle yet effective extraction.
Perfect for aged wines
As wines age, their corks become more fragile and prone to breaking. A traditional spiral corkscrew can pierce the cork, causing it to crumble into the wine.
The Bilame Craft removes the cork without piercing it, keeping it intact. For this reason, it is highly valued by sommeliers, winemakers and collectors, particularly for opening vintage wines and prestigious bottles.
An essential accessory for any wine cellar and for anyone who wants to open their finest bottles with the utmost care.
