The Laguoile Sommelier's Corkscrew is the industry standard. Professional wine waiters worldwide use a corkscrew with a bee on the bolster. It's a sign of the finest traditional bottle opener. Laguiole ( pron la-yule) is a regional French town of only 1500 people. It's been a world cutlery centre for over 500 years.
Surprisingly, Laguiole corkscrews only rose to wide fame in the 1980s, but they're now an acknowledged classic - to extract a cork, feel fabulous in your hand, and look good too.
Today, the Laguiole Corkscrew with its dagger-shaped handle is the most famous corkscrew in France. And that little bee on the bolster ? The bee was on Napoleon's coat of arms as a symbol of industry. It's a guarantee that this is a real Laguiole Corkscrew. Just like sommeliers use.
