Laguiole Corkscrew Rosewood with Case

Laguiole Corkscrew Rosewood with Case Review



The well known Laguiole corkscrew line has been celebrated as one of the finest line of corkscrews ever created and this rosewood set is no exception. This genuine Laguiole waiter's corkscrew features a bottle opener, serrated blade for cutting foil, a stainless steel grooved spiral for easy wine opening, and of course the trademark Laguiole corkscrew bee on the back. It comes with a protective leatherette case with a magnetic closure and belt clip for professional waiters; perfect for gift giving! 5 year warranty. Common Questions Is this a real Laguiole corkscrew? Yes it is a officially licensed Laguiole product. The common misconception is that Laguiole itself is a manufacturer, it is not. Laguiole is actually a city in France, not a manufacturer. Laguiole just licenses their name and signature Laguiole bee to manufacturers whom meet their strict quality standards. There are actually dozens of manufacturers for Laguiole branded products, many of whom overcharge for the name. There are two main differences between this corkscrew and many of the more expensive Laguiole corkscrews you see elsewhere. 1) This corkscrew set is assembled in China, and much of it is made by machine to keep the cost down while still meeting the strict quality standards set forth by Laguiole. 2) This Laguiole corkscrew carrys a 5 year manufacturer warranty, whereas many of the other handmade Laguiole products do not.
