 Lesprit et le Vin Corkscrews
Wine, an "art de vivre"
Manufactured in France, L’Esprit et le Vin corkscrews and wine accessories are some of the finest 18th and 19th century reproductions available today. Each corkscrew is extremely distinctive and unique. Here are some examples not found in any other brand of corkscrew.
Double-action Steel Corkscrew
 Patented by Sir Thomason in 1802, the double-action system enables you to pull out the cork easily by continuously turning the handle in the same direction. The aim is to reduce the physical effort required to remove a cork and so allow you to open the bottle gently. The first helical shaft causes the worm to penetrate the cork. When it reaches the bottom of the cork, the larger helical shaft turns in order to pull out the cork. A ring of leather placed at the base of the corkscrew protects the neck of the bottle and adapts the device to different bottleneck sizes.
Folding Silver-plated Pocket Corkscrew
 During the 18th century, stoppers made of cork were used more and more frequently for vanity products, perfumes and medicinal preparations. Back then, it was useful to have a pocket corkscrew handy with its worm protected so it could be transported without danger. Today the pocket model is easy to carry and use.
Duck Decanter
 Its horizontal shape encourages oxygenation and minimizes the disturbance of the wine while being served. A lovely decanter for any table.
