This unique apparatus has a lot to do with the shaping of French history and culture: the wine bottle corker which facilitated the distribution of wine and spirits far from the vineyards, giving the world a taste of the country’s terroir. Once a vineyard’s grapes have been harvested, pressed, and aged, the resulting wine will be bottled and finally sealed with a cork, using an iron wine corker just like this one. Many aspects of French winemaking have remained unchanged for centuries. A conversation piece for any home bar, kitchen, or restaurant. Please view the detailed images for a closer look. See less
