Sommelier's corkscrew in wood and leather

Sommelier's corkscrew in wood and leather

The grip of leather, the nobility of wood. This sommelier's wooden corkscrew combines a handle made of fine wood with a full or partial leather covering on the handling area.

• Genuine leather covering: grainy texture increases hand-tool friction
• Structural wood handle: complementary mechanical rigidity and natural aesthetics
• Professional sommelier format: 5-turn helix + double-notch lever + foil cutter
• Leather color varies depending on the tanning process: from light camel to dark brown depending on the model

The leather used on corkscrew handles is vegetable-tanned—a traditional process using extracts from oak, chestnut, or mimosa. This tanning gives the leather an evolving patina: a new camel-colored leather gradually darkens to cognac and then brown through repeated contact with the hands.

Leather and wood care

Cuir Limonadier recommends dry brushing with a soft brush after each use. Apply a colorless leather cream quarterly (unless a quick patina is desired). Never wet the leather excessively—leather swollen by water will warp as it dries.
