This corkscrew from Sveid makes the Rabbit look inexpensive and simplistic by comparison. The corkscrew from Sveid has fifty-two pieces that form a puzzle-like corkscrew. It is made of aviation titanium with a fingertip lever of 18 carat gold.The wooden presentation box is equally luxurious has a unique opener with invisible hinges. Each one is made on order and the presentation box can be personalized with your choice of wood and the color of the shagreen that lines the box as well as having the hinges done in gold. The fingertip lever of the corkscrew can also be cast in platinum. Both the corkscrew and the box can be engraved. The corkscrew starts at 50,000 euros. If you are curious how it works there is a video at the website that shows the corkscrew in action. Personally, I'd rather spend the cash on what I'm opening rather than the opener! (via Luxist)

Le Creuset Screwpull

Description

After presenting way too many wine decanters with floating bits of cork in them, I got smart and got the Screwpull wine bottle opener. It's incredibly easy to use, results in flawless cork-removal and gets the wine into the decanter a lot faster than the "oops, I have to pry to rest of the cork out with an ice pick" method.
