Better Living Through Design, one of my favorite design blogs, features beautiful food gadgets from time to time, and this Sebastian Bergne–designed corkscrew is definitely that. I love how it keeps track of how many corks you’ve popped over the course of the evening (up to three), and how its look changes as you add new corks. As you drink more (and get more drunk), it looks like it’ll also protect your hand from the sharp, screwish points.
Corker Corkscrew by Sebastian Bergne, preorder $37
Hey, I've been looking to buy one of these for ages and finally found a place to do it. www.buysebastianbergne.com is a new selling website from Sebastian Bergne. There is this on it and loads of his other products too.
ps. JK, I got my corkscrew yesterday and
they work really well!
It's cute, but once I get those first two corks on there I think the only reason I'm going to take them off is if someone else brings me a bottle of Silver Oak. Obviously someone else opens Bergne's wine. If he ever tried to use his own design of corkscrew, he would have known you need arms the size of tree trunks to pop open the bottle. Bad designer, no vino for you!
