Anyone who loves wine knows that it is an aesthetic passion as much as it is a culinary one. Drinking out of beautiful glasses, served from a beautiful bar cart or home bar, or using a beautiful cocktail set can completely upgrade the experience from mundane to fabulous. Brooke Shields's favorite corkscrew, The Sommelier from Forge De Laguiole, is the ultimate home bar accessory.
We've long been fans of her kitchen storage, and clearly, her home bar lives up to the standard it has set. Brooke Shields is drinking in style. 'The Laguiole wine opener is perfect if you appreciate wine and want to add a cool accessory to your bar cart,' she told Forbes as part of their gift guide. Whether you give it as a gift, or keep it for yourself, this elevated corkscrew is more than a tool – it's a timeless piece of decor.
Shields's recommended bar cart accessory is painstakingly crafted from French grape vines in France, by iconic brand Forge de Laguiole, which follows a tradition dating back to 1828. It can also be customized for a simple bespoke touch. The gentle curve of the handle would provide a break to the angularity of a typical home bar, while the natural materials add texture and depth. It comes in branded gift box with a beautiful leather case, making it easy to store in style.
This beautiful, customizable corkscrew is the stuff of legends. With its beautiful, sommelier-designed look it instantly upgrades any bar cart or home bar.
However, just because Shields's home bar accessory is beautiful, doesn't mean it falls down on function. The Forge de Laguiole Sommelier Corkscrew was created with input from professional Sommeliers, creating an ergonomic and efficient design that can remove the cork from even a vintage bottle of wine. Plus, it includes a lifetime warranty, so you have protection if it ever breaks.
