Wine accessories: anything to properly enjoy a glass of wine

How to choose the best wine accessories

If you're an avid wine taster, you'll want the opening of the bottle to be part of the experience. Have you considered treating yourself or your loved ones to a chic sommelier knife or champagne sabre?

Waiter’s knife, sommelier knife or corkscrew?

Yes, we are pretty much talking about one type of tool: a tool to open wine bottles. These different terms have subtle differences but are sometimes used interchangeably. We differentiate between waiter’s knives/sommelier knives and corkscrews. Waiter’s knives are often more compact and usually have more tools than just the spiral corkscrew itself, like a little blade to cut away foil and a bottle opener. In the category of corkscrews, you’ll find the corkscrews like lever corkscrews and twist-and-pull corkscrews.

Champagne sabre

With a champagne sabre you can open a bottle of champagne. When you sabre a bottle of champagne you remove the cork and the top part of the champagne bottle. It is a display of style and the act itself makes you feel amazing. It is quite the rush! It isn't difficult to sabre. To successfully remove the cork, you need a sabre made from the right materials and one that has the right shape. Read more about how to use a champagne sabre.
