I suspect that these factories are also the makers in many cases of the actual name brand corkscrews, and as long as they have the tooling setup they run a few hundred thousand extra alt name, slightly re-styled copies as well. Who knows. But this corkscrew is a good example of clone and original being so close that you would have to think they came from the same place. True Fabrications Wood Professional Corkscrew is a near clone of the Prestige Coutale Sommelier with Wood Inlay Handle corkscrew, which is itself a near clone of the Le Creuset Waiter's Friend Corkscrew, which is otherwise identical to the Coutale Sommelier except for having the Le Creuset name and logo stamped on the hinge. The True Fabrications Wood Professional Corkscrew is identical in all respects, except for having a cheaper wood handle that runs the length of the handle area, instead of terminating in a finished metal tail. Is this important? All three corkscrews laid side by side appear so close in detail and finish that it seems a sure thing -- please correct me if I am wrong crowd source of knowledge -- that they came from the same factory. Even if that's not the case, all three seems close enough in quality and function so as to make buying one mostly a matter of price -- go with the True Fabrications for $10 (average selling price on desertcart) or if it's a matter of status and wanting the glossy wood handle then go with the Le Creuset for $35 or the Coutale Sommelier for $20 (average selling prices on desertcart). But to the function. Although I was skeptical of the whole two stage waiter corkscrew concept I have to say that these corkscrews work wonderfully. I would very much recommend any of the three I mentioned over the Pulltap / TrueTap types as the two stage hinge on True Fabrications Wood Professional, Coutale Sommelier and Le Creuset Waiter's Friend are spring loaded and much easier to two step through the opening process. Likewise, the very broad section of the handle that you pull upward on is much more comfortable than the Pulltap type. I own one each of True Fabrications Wood Professional, Coutale Sommelier and Le Creuset Waiter's Friend corkscrews and use them interchangeably. I am very happy with all three, and would recommend them with the buying choice made more on a buyer's idea of value for money, trim and finish and personal taste. The function is great on all three. RECOMMENDED. Review: Best of the best - I’ve had this wine key for over 6 years now, it was recommended to me by the lead somm I used to work with at the time. Not only is it been my work wine key but also my personal at home wine key. It’s opened hundreds (possibly thousands) of bottles and still works amazing. At this point it has a lot of sentimental value to me and I hope to never lose it but if I do, I know I will 100% be getting another one. Thank you Coutale ❤️ ## Features - The Coutale Sommelier corkscrews are designed by Philippe Bernde, French winemaker, vintner and owner of Clos La Coutale. Over the years he became increasingly frustrated by the poor quality of the corkscrews that crossed his path. After a day of struggling to open his wine at a tasting he set out to create his own! Et voila! The 1st Coutale corkscrew was born! Coutale Sommelier is now a complete line of corkscrews. The patented spring loaded double lever adds ease, control and power to your uncorking experience. Coutale Sommelier is package in sleeve. uncorking made easy! It works so well that we have been copied! The authentic Coutale Sommelier has a smooth lever and its brand name engraved. It is made up of our patented spring loaded double lever system and stainless steel frame. This corkscrew was designed to last a lifetime. This corkscrew elegantly blends the features of a wine corkscrew, bottle opener and foil cutter all together in a stylish and durable stainless steel body with comfort-grip wood handle. It inspires confidence and offers the satisfying, solid heft of a fine tool and feels good in the hand, like a well-balanced kitchen knife. - The strong grooved stainless steel screw is guaranteed to cleanly remove any natural or synthetic cork in only 5 turns with no breakage. The precision-cut notch along the worm grips the cork firmly and also reduces the drag as it cuts through the cork, making it less likely the cork will crumble. - The double-hinged SPRING LOADED patented lever provides extra leverage and smoother pulling of even the longest corks. The two-piece hinge makes opening wine twice as easy by allowing for a nice, 2-part removal that offers a significant mechanical advantage over older-style single-hinge devices. It also stops the cork from breaking within the bottle. - LONG, SHARP, AND ROUNDED SERRATED FOIL CUTTER makes foil removal quick and eliminates the need to purchase another gadget. Lots of corkscrews have dull knives, forcing your to tear rather than cut the foil. But not ours! Its also specially designed to reduce the risk of slippage and minimize any form of tearing of the foil or plastic. - 100% LIFETIME MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY: We stand behind our products with a complete, lifetime guarantee. If something breaks or if you don't absolutely love your new Coutale Sommelier wine opener, we will take it back and offer a replacement or refund, no questions asked.

The original is designed by the famed Frenchman Philippe Bernede-- Clos La Coutale-- You may get more info at www.coutale.com--I have never noticed any country marked on the product? but, it is patented and shows the brand on the opener "Coutale SOMMELIER Prestige!" I got mine from Amazon and it works great!! I do not use the knife as a foil cutter very often but it is fine! I prefer a separate foil cutter as the one in the cork screw is actually a knife that while very nice is very sharp and you could cut yourself if not careful! **Q: where is this made?** A: No idea Got as gifts Beautiful and quality built **Q: Will it open beer bottles?** A: Yes this wine opener does also have a beer bottle opener above the hinge. Just above the "Push" engraving in the photos online. **Q: Does it work good on synthetic corks?** A: Works just fine on synthetic corks. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prestige Coutale Sommelier vs Le Creuset Waiter's Friend vs True Fabrications Wood Professional corkscrews *by A***S on April 15, 2014* Although there are, I am sure, many factories in China producing knock offs of high end corkscrews, including zillions of cheap Laguiole copies, it seems sometimes as though there is only one vast corkscrew factory out there somewhere in China.

RECOMMENDED. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best of the best *by A***A on May 12, 2026* I’ve had this wine key for over 6 years now, it was recommended to me by the lead somm I used to work with at the time. Not only is it been my work wine key but also my personal at home wine key. It’s opened hundreds (possibly thousands) of bottles and still works amazing.

Thank you Coutale ❤️ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Product Fix has made this #1 again *by C***L on May 16, 2012* After going through rabbit corkscrews and basic corkscrews, all which broke after some time, we found this amazing wine opener. It is solid and easy to use. What a breeze. Looks fancy on our bar as well. Highly recommended. UPDATE: I am updating this review because I had to deal with the company Wine-n-Gear and their service was exceptional. After quite a bit of use, I still highly recommend this opener and if anything goes wrong with the product or your order, just know that you will be well taken care of. A+ for the product and for customer service. UPDATE #2: I am updating my May 16, 2012 review because this corkscrew turned out to be a dud. It worked very well for the first while, but then the spring that holds in the little foil cutter broke causing the very sharp knife to fall out - very dangerous. So, we contacted the sellers who replaced the corkscrew immediately (very good customer service). Unfortunately, our second corkscrew didn't even last as long as the first one before the foil cutter spring broke again. We are now using it very gingerly so as to not cut our hands every time we open wine. I do not recommend this product. UPDATE #3: I was contacted by the vendor that the design flaw in this product has been fixed and they replaced my defective opener. I have changed my rating back to 5 stars for two reasons. #1 - the product has been used every day since it was replaced and it remains in excellent shape. It's a great opener. Excellent quality. Not sure why someone didn't like the quality of it. It's durable and sleek. Heavy duty. #2 - the customer service I received from the vendor, Wine-n-Gear, was exceptional. I would refer this product because I believe it's a great opener, and also because the company is great to deal with and provided excellent service.
