L' Atelier du Vin Bilame Classic
Twin-blade corkscrew in black metal. The Bilame twin blade corkscrew, an historical part of L’Atelier du Vin’s range since 1949 (patent date), extracts and leaves the cork intact, even those which are old and fragile.
There are 17 units left in stock.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The cork is not pierced, and thus does not crumble. As the legend goes, the Bilame was the favourite tool of waiters in French “ bistrots ”. Thanks to it, they could take a few sips from bottles and then replace corks without anyone noticing! Black metal. Designed and made in France.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
“The story of L’Atelier du Vin is inextricably linked to the history of my family.
It all began in the first half of the 1900s with the highly creative and skilled inventors of the “Sanbri” corking device – a play on “no broken glass” in French – and a rotary bottle washer. Originally hailing from France’s Champagne region, our family has cherished the rituals around wine through three generations. We know just how special it is to savor a fine wine in good company. And I am passionate about sharing l’art de vivre le vin à la française – the art of enjoying fine wine, the French way – with wine lovers across France, Europe and the world by designing highly technical, excellent quality tools. I suppose you could say that L’Atelier du Vin is the hallmark of what brings my family together.” - Georges Richard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
