This Alessi corkscrew designed by Alessandro Mendini is a great way to extract a cork. Forget about those cheap winged corkscrews that you may have bought at the supermarket, using a good sommelier corkscrew is a pleasure and this one has good design to boot.
Admittedly, this parrot corkscrew is more expensive than most wine openers at $57, but it is still less than a Chateau Laguiole corkscrew, which will run you more than $100. There are also different colors if you don’t like blue, and I also think the unique multi-colored pattern is worth a look.
