Winged corkscrew

The classic, timeless and practical de Winged corkscrew

It needs no introduction; it's found in every kitchen and wine cellar in France, the go-to corkscrew for most wine lovers. That said, there are still a few things you should know about it before making your choice.

Use the de Gaulle Corkscrew

It's quick and easy to use, which is why it's so popular with the general public. Simply insert the corkscrew into the standard cork of your favorite wine bottle and press the side tabs to open the bottle; the locking mechanism will do all the work for you.

There is another alternative for even less effort: the electric corkscrew .

Warning, have the wine bottle on a flat and stable support: you will probably use both hands on the de Gaulle corkscrew, so there will be nothing to hold the bottle.

Maintaining the locks

If you want to maintain your de Gaulle corkscrew for many years, remember to apply a little oil to the locks every 6 months after cleaning it with a cleaning product in the small cavities using a metal sponge.
