L'Atelier du Vin originally patented this bi-blade cork extractor in 1949. Its simple-but-effective design has withstood the test of time and is sought out by wine connoisseurs and sommeliers.
The unique design allows you to remove the cork from a wine bottle without piercing it with a corkscrew. This is useful for corks that are old and fragile or for broken corks. Since the cork maintains its original shape, you can also reinsert it into the bottle so that it sits flush with the top.
How does it work?The Bilame extractor features two ultra-thin blades that slide between the cork and the bottle, allowing for a smooth and clean extraction without damaging the cork. It works seamlessly with a variety of cork types and bottle sizes. The ergonomic handle provides a secure grip for effortless cork removal.
