About this list:

A corkscrew is like a plane, it's a means to an end but that's not to say that the journey can't be delightful.

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)

Description

I have spent a lot of time in France and actually have visited the town in the center of France where these are made. I have a wine opener made with olive wood that is beautifully crafted and is a great combination of design and engineering. I bought it in Burgundy, and think fondly of France every time I open a bottle.
