Laguiole Corkscrews in Vine Stock Wood – Rooted in the World of Wine
Vine Stock – A Wood Born from the Vine
Few materials speak as directly to the soul of wine as vine stock wood. Once part of a living grapevine, this gnarled and twisted material is harvested from old vines at the end of their fruit-bearing life — transformed from a plant of production into a symbol of heritage.
Its grain is wild, marked by the passage of seasons, sun, and soil. No piece is alike. The surface may reveal dark swirls, cracks, and textures that feel almost fossilized — a reminder that beauty often grows in resistance. Holding it is like holding a fragment of vineyard memory, where nature and human culture are forever entwined.
A Laguiole corkscrew crafted from vine stock wood is more than a tool: it’s a tribute. To the winemaker, to the terroir, to the rituals of sharing. Ideal for gifting, collecting, or honoring the craft of wine itself.
The Classic Vine Stock Corkscrew – Authentic and Alive
The classic version showcases vine stock wood in its rawest, most evocative form. The satin finish enhances the contrast between rough knots and smooth areas, revealing the wood’s inner architecture without overpolishing. Each handle is a landscape.
Light yet robust, with excellent grip and presence, this sommelier corkscrew is perfect for professionals or enthusiasts who want a daily companion that connects directly to the wine they serve. Simple in form — rich in meaning.
With a Sculpted Bee – The Signature of Craft
On select vine stock models, the corkscrew is crowned with a hand-sculpted bee — Laguiole’s most symbolic emblem. Chiseled into the spring by a single artisan, this bee brings a sense of elevation to the rugged wood, forming a striking contrast between the wild and the refined.
The bee itself is more than an ornament — it’s a mark of artisanal legacy. Its wings, softly arched and finely detailed, evoke motion and lightness. Against the vine’s gnarled grain, it rests like a quiet signature of human craftsmanship layered atop nature’s memory.
These models are ideal for those who value detail and meaning in equal measure — for whom a simple object becomes a celebration of time, hands, and heritage.
Sculpted Bolsters & Chiseled Liners – Vines Framed in Metal
In these models, the natural drama of vine stock wood is heightened by sculpted bolsters and chiseled liners. The vegetal motifs engraved into the metal echo the twisting of the vine itself, while the hand-filed liners offer a luminous contrast to the earthy tones of the wood.
This is a corkscrew that feels like a ceremonial object. A piece for collectors, sommeliers, or wine estates who see the opening of a bottle not just as a gesture — but as a ritual. Bold, beautiful, and steeped in symbolism.
