The Le Creuset Original Lever Corkscrew Wine Opener and Foil Cutter Gift Set in Black is a lever-style corkscrew set designed to remove even the toughest cork in seconds. With a Teflon-coated screw, comfortable rubber-cushioned handles, and a quick foil cutter, it's built for home entertainers and everyday wine lovers who want dependable, effortless service.
How to Use the Le Creuset Original Lever Corkscrew Wine Opener
Place the opener over the bottle neck with the screw centered in the cork. Press both side levers down to drive the screw in, then lift the levers up to pull the cork out. The lever action distributes force evenly, so you won't fight with stubborn corks or break them halfway. After the cork clears the bottle, slide the four-wheel foil cutter around the neck to remove foil before opening—or set it on top and rotate.

Features
Teflon-coated screw: glides through even the toughest corks.
Opens 2,000 bottles: long-lasting performance before screw replacement.
The Le Creuset Original Lever Corkscrew is designed for people who entertain often and don't want opening wine to be the hardest part of the evening. Its even lever motion removes corks cleanly, while the comfortable rubber handles give you a confident grip even when your hands are busy or a bottle is stubborn.
Why a Lever Corkscrew Beats a Waiter's Friend
A waiter-style opener works, but it takes more effort and technique. A lever corkscrew uses the bottle neck as leverage, so the screw goes in straight and the cork comes out level. That's especially helpful for old bottles, long corks, or anyone with limited hand strength.
Care and Maintenance
To keep your Le Creuset opener performing like new, wipe the screw after each use and let the mechanism dry fully before storing. The set is dishwasher safe, but a quick hand rinse helps preserve the Teflon coating. With this small habit, your opener will be ready for the next 2,000 bottles.
