Design We Are Feeling: Top 10 Corkscrews
Stylish wine openers make the perfect holiday gift
The first corkscrew was designed by German inventor Carl Wienkle back in 1882. Since then, we've come a long way in corkscrew design. While the market may be saturated with all kinds of hefty electronic openers, we prefer sleek, simple designs. Check out our thoughtfully curated list of corkscrews, perfect as a holiday gift for a wine enthusiast or as an addition to your own collection (because old baseball cards won't open that bottle of wine).
