Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
THE ONLY FRENCH PATENTED SPRING-LOADED DOUBLE LEVER – The Coutale Sommelier corkscrews are the market's ONLY patented spring-loaded double lever corkscrews. The Original Innovation by Coutale Sommelier is a fine tool in Coutale Sommelier's extensive waiter's corkscrew range, patented by Philip Bernède, French winemaker and owner of Clos La Coutale winery in Cahors, France. The Innovation is the sommelier's tool of choice, thanks to its smooth grip and automatic knife closure.
AUTOMATIC KNIFE CLOSURE – The Patented auto knife closure is unique to the Coutale Sommelier Innovation line of corkscrews. When the lever arm is lifted after cutting the foil, the knife automatically closes! The automatic knife closure, in combination with the double lever, gives you more control and safety when uncorking.
SOLID STAINLESS STEEL FRAME – Our Original Coutale Sommelier Innovation is constructed of solid stainless steel with a smooth black plastic handle. The result is a corkscrew that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The Original Innovation by Coutale Sommelier is as at ease opening hundreds of bottles a night as it is on display at home, thanks to its practical lines.
TEFLON-COATED WORM – A Teflon-coated worm is included in Coutale Sommelier's Innovation line of corkscrews. The worm is not only beautiful (it's made of one piece of stainless steel and coated in Teflon), but it's also useful. The Teflon coating ensures that the worm spirals smoothly into the cork, requiring less screwing force and resulting in a smoother cork pull.
Stainless Steel Serrated Knife – Unlike the dull standard-issue knives on most corkscrews, the Innovation line of corkscrews comes with a Stainless Steel Serrated Knife that cleanly cuts the foil, allowing for an even cut across the foil and a clean removal. With Coutale Sommelier's Innovation, you'll never have to worry about torn foils again.

Questions & Answers

Is there a spring in the lever? loaded? There is no spring in the one I received. ?

It isn't spring-loaded, to be sure. When you use it, however, the action of pulling up on the corkscrew retracts the hinged part, which is very slick and effective. I work in a restaurant, and this is the best low-cost corkscrew I've ever used.

What country did they come from?

I'm not sure where it was made, but this (Coutale Sommelier) is the best corkscrew available. I have one at home, one in the car, and one in the camper.

What kind of packaging is included with this wine key?

Hello Dave,br>Our wine keys are packaged in a Coutale Sommelier Sleeve,br>Thank you for your interest and please let me know if you have any further questions,br>Cheers! br>Arthur @ wine-n-coffee.com gear

What's the difference between a pocket, an innovation, and a reputation?

The Innovation has a manual double lever hinge as well as an auto-closing knife. When you lift the lever, it closes. Both the Prestige and the Pocket Prestige feature a spring-loaded mechanism. Double-lever hinges that are loaded. The Prestige Pocket is a smaller and more portable version of the larger Prestige.

Selected User Reviews For Innovation Waiters Corkscrew By Coutale Sommelier - Black - French Patented Manual Double Lever Wine Bottle Opener for Bartenders and Gifts - Patented Auto Knife Closure

It's big, it's simple to use, and it's made well
5/5

All of our wine keys recently began to loosen and fall apart, primarily because the single rivet holding it all together became wobbly, and nothing worked properly after that. It's only a matter of time before you get a hand injury! And who wants that when they're about to open a lovely bottle of wine?! br>br>When I saw the rave reviews for this wine key, I thought to myself, "Enough is enough, I'm getting a good one!" 'This one is packaged in a simple but effective manner, with easy-to-access cardboard rather than a difficult-to-open plastic wrapper- To get around, use the rage bubble. The wine key is sleek and, dare I say, beautiful in appearance. It has a substantial feel to it but is not bulky or heavy. The worm is easy to pierce, and I like the 2-inch length. step 1: remove the cork! br>br>In general, this is a lovely addition to your bar service!.

I'm a little let down
3/5

This is a well-made corkscrew that does what it says it will. Auto- The retractable foil cutter is a clever idea. The corkscrew, on the other hand, feels too light in my hand. This, combined with the lack of packaging, fails to give the impression of a high-end product; you won't be disappointed, but you might be disappointed.

A fantastic product from a fantastic seller! I work as a server in a busy restaurant, and during my shift, I open several bottles of wine
5/5

The first time I used this wine key, it was fantastic! The cork is easy to extract with a sharp knife and a straight, sturdy corkscrew. I had been using the same wine key for over a decade when it finally broke, and I needed a replacement right away. I quickly received my order and returned to my job of opening wine bottles for customers.

Corkscrew of high quality
5/5

This corkscrew was purchased to replace a double lever corkscrew that I had for many years. This design was successful. The lever action is smooth and well-built. It works smoothly and consistently, without the risk of the cork breaking off at an awkward angle, as many single lever corkscrews do. I would strongly suggest it.

If you work in the restaurant industry like I do, this is the best wine key! I've been in the service industry for 15 years and have used a lot of wine keys, but this one is by far the best! It's sturdy as hell, nice looking, has a good weight to it, not too light but definitely not too heavy, great size, not bulky but rather slim, and easy to open with one hand once you get the hang of it, which is crucial
5/5

If you work in the wine industry, you'll undoubtedly appreciate this key as much as I do. Never buy a cheap corkscrew because it will fall apart, become loose, and bend. again. Just want to make sure it doesn't get stolen!.

The Double Lever is one of my favorite things in the world
5/5

Many corkscrews are too short to screw into and pull out of the cork without breaking it. Oh, no! br>And the quality for the price isn't bad either. br>With the double lever on this corkscrew, I can get a secure grip on that corkscrew and be quaffing in no time. Note that the action may appear awkward at first, but after a couple of bottles, you'll be a pro in no time. Cheers, Sante! Kampai!.

The additional cost was well worth it
5/5

I'm a bartender/server who has owned and used far too many wine keys to count in the search for one that ticks all of the boxes. . . this wine key has put an end to my search!! Thank you for producing such a high-quality, long-lasting product!.

This isn't the same thing as before
3/5

To begin, I should state that I placed an order for one of these over a year ago. It was ideal, but after a year in the wine industry, your wine key begins to show signs of wear and tear. So I went out and bought another. The package that arrived was not the same as the one that had been sent to me a year before. The worm's point was in an awkward position, and it was very thin. Something wasn't quite right when I screwed in my first cork. When I went to remove the cork, my arm didn't meet flush with my lip. Then the nail that held the worm in place slid out of place, preventing me from fully closing the wine key. I yanked it back into place and pretended everything was fine. I was sitting at the table, about to open my second bottle of the evening when it blew up. The nail flew out, the worm broke off and became stuck in the cork, and the interior metal rod snapped. I'm not sure what I got, but it wasn't the wine key I fell in love with a year ago.
