Alessi Anna G. Corkscrew

The lever-action mechanism uses the two arms of the figure to provide leverage. As you push the arms down, the cork is pulled upward smoothly and consistently, requiring significantly less physical effort than a standard waiter's corkscrew.

Yes, the design is compatible with standard wine bottles. The lever mechanism is designed to grip the neck securely, allowing it to handle natural and synthetic corks with ease.

The body is constructed from durable thermoplastic resin, while the internal mechanism and the figure's face are crafted from chrome-plated zamak. This combination ensures both a lightweight feel and the necessary structural integrity for the lever action.

Because of the chrome-plated finish and resin body, you should avoid putting it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth after use to keep the surface clean and prevent any buildup on the mechanism.

While it is certainly a conversation piece, the anthropomorphic design is also functional. The 'arms' serve as the levers, and the 'head' acts as a handle, making the tool comfortable to grip and operate during the opening process.
