Wooden corkscrew with red wine bottle stopper

Rosewood corkscrew, 2-piece set, stainless steel with red wine bottle stopper

This set includes a rosewood corkscrew with a stopper for wine bottles. Offered by Limonadier, this set features a complete sommelier's tool with a 5-turn spiral, a double-notch lever, and a foil cutter. The handle is made of veined rosewood. The included stopper creates a slight vacuum in the opened bottle to slow the oxidation of red wines for 48 to 72 hours.

• Each corkscrew: 5-turn helix + double-notch lever + foil cutter
• Vacuum stopper included: internal vacuum -0.4 bar, preserves red wine for 48-72 hours
• Veined rosewood: each piece is slightly unique due to its natural grain.

A micro-pump integrated into the cork extracts air from the bottle in 5 to 6 manual pumps. The resulting vacuum (approximately -0.4 bar) reduces the wine's oxidation surface area without eliminating the lightest volatile aromas.

Technical specifications

Preserving red wine with the wine stopper

After serving, reseal immediately—oxidation accelerates as soon as it's opened. Pump 5 to 6 times until the cork resists. Store the bottle upright in a cool place: a cellar at 14-16°C for reds. A tannic red (Bordeaux, Southern Rhône) will keep for 48-72 hours. A light red (Burgundy, Loire): 24-36 hours maximum. A white: 24-48 hours. Before refilling, check that the bottle is still under slight vacuum by pressing the top of the cork—if it gives way easily, the vacuum is no longer effective.
