Patented by Philip Bernde, French winemaker and owner of Clos La Coutale winery in Cahors, France, The Original Innovation by Coutale Sommelier is the fine tool of Coutale Sommeliers extensive waiters corkscrew range. With a smooth grip and automatic knife closure the Innovation is the sommeliers tool of choice. AUTOMATIC KNIFE CLOSURE  Exclusive to the Innovation line of Coutale Sommelier corkscrews is the Patented auto knife closure. After cutting the foil the knife automatically closes when the lever arm is lifted! The automatic knife closure combined with the double lever adds control and safety to your uncorking experience. SOLID STAINLESS STEEL FRAME  Our Original Innovation by Coutale Sommelier is built on a Solid Stainless Steel frame overlaid with a smooth black plastic handle. The end product? A corkscrew that is as aesthetically gorgeous as it is a fine tool. Made of practical lines, The Original Innovation by Coutale Sommelier is as comfortable opening 100s of bottles a night as it is on display at home. TEFLON-COATED WORM  The Innovation line of corkscrews by Coutale Sommelier features a Teflon-coated worm. Not only is the worm gorgeous  crafted from a single piece of stainless steel and fitted in a coat of Teflon but furthermore it is practical. The Teflon coating assures the worm spirals into the cork smoothly, allowing for less screwing force and a smoother cork pull. STAINLESS STEEL SERRATED KNIFE  The Innovation line of corkscrews comes equipped with a Stainless Steel Serrated Knife. Unlike the dull standard-issue knives on most corkscrews our Stainless Steel Serrated knife cleanly cuts the foil, allowing for an even cut across the foil and a clean removal. No more torn foils with the Innovation by Coutale Sommelier.
