Wine Corkscrews
A good wine corkscrew makes opening traditional cork-sealed bottles quicker and easier.
Different corkscrew designs suit different preferences, from compact waiter’s knives to electric openers that remove much of the manual effort.
For wine enthusiasts, a reliable corkscrew is one of the most important tools to keep alongside your wine glasses and decanter.
Our collection includes professional-style corkscrews that combine several functions in one compact tool, making them useful both at home and in hospitality environments.
Waiter’s Corkscrews
A waiter’s corkscrew, sometimes called a waiter’s friend or waiter’s knife, is a compact tool designed specifically for opening wine bottles efficiently.
The Waiter’s Corkscrew Miass with Bottle Opener combines a corkscrew, bottle opener and foil cutter in one compact design.
Its bamboo-coated finish gives the tool a natural decorative appearance, while the all-in-one design makes it particularly useful for sommeliers, bartenders and wine enthusiasts.
The compact format also makes it easy to keep in a kitchen drawer, drinks cabinet or bar station.
Waiter’s Friend Corkscrews
The term waiter’s friend generally refers to the familiar folding corkscrew used throughout restaurants and wine service.
The Waiter’s Knife Corkscrew combines several useful tools, including:
- Corkscrew
- Integrated bottle opener
- Foil cutter
- Sharp blade
- Two-stage lever
The two-stage lever can help remove corks gradually rather than requiring one large pulling movement.
This makes the tool particularly suitable for frequent wine service in restaurants, bars and at home.
Two-Stage Corkscrews
A two-stage corkscrew uses two leverage points to help remove a cork more gradually.
The Waiter’s Knife Corkscrew features a two-stage lever alongside a foil cutter and integrated bottle opener.
This style of corkscrew is popular with hospitality professionals because it combines several tools into one compact format.
For home users, the same design provides a practical way to open wine without requiring a large standalone opener.
Electric Wine Openers
If you prefer a more convenient way to open wine, an electric wine opener can remove much of the twisting and pulling associated with a manual corkscrew.
The Electric Wine Bottle Opener by VINO – Black Finish provides quick electric cork removal in a sleek black design.
Its ABS casing keeps the opener lightweight and suitable for everyday use, while the electric mechanism makes it particularly useful for anyone who regularly opens several bottles when entertaining.
Electric wine openers can also make excellent gifts for wine enthusiasts.
Wine Bottle Openers
The term wine bottle opener covers several different tools designed for cork-sealed wine bottles.
Options include:
- Traditional corkscrews
- Waiter’s friends
- Lever corkscrews
- Electric bottle openers
- Multifunction wine tools
For compact everyday use, consider the Waiter’s Corkscrew Miass.
For a more automated option, choose the VINO Electric Wine Bottle Opener.
The right choice depends on how frequently you open wine and whether you prefer a traditional manual tool or an electric design.
Bottle Openers
A bottle opener is essential for crown-capped beer bottles, soft drinks and other bottled beverages.
Many of our corkscrews combine a wine opener with an integrated bottle opener, allowing one tool to handle multiple drink types.
The Waiter’s Corkscrew Miass, for example, includes a dedicated bottle opener alongside its corkscrew and foil cutter.
This type of multifunctional design is particularly useful for home bars where storage space is limited.
Beer Bottle Openers
Beer bottles often require a simple crown-cap opener rather than a corkscrew.
A dedicated or integrated beer bottle opener allows caps to be removed quickly without damaging the bottle rim.
Multifunctional tools such as the Waiter’s Knife Corkscrew include a built-in bottle opener, making them useful for households that serve both wine and beer.
Pair your bottle opener with products from our Beer & Pint Glasses collection for a complete beer-serving setup.
Corkscrews with Bottle Openers
A corkscrew with bottle opener combines two useful bar tools in one compact design.
This makes it ideal for anyone who regularly serves both wine and beer.
The Waiter’s Corkscrew Miass includes:
- Corkscrew
- Bottle opener
- Foil cutter
while the Waiter’s Knife Corkscrew combines a bottle opener, foil cutter, blade and two-stage corkscrew.
Multifunction tools can reduce the number of separate accessories required in your kitchen or home bar.
Corkscrews with Foil Cutters
Many wine bottles include foil or another covering around the top of the neck.
A corkscrew with foil cutter allows this covering to be removed before extracting the cork.
The Waiter’s Corkscrew Miass includes a built-in foil cutter alongside the corkscrew and bottle opener.
This integrated design helps keep the complete wine-opening process within one compact tool.
Professional Corkscrews
Professional wine service requires tools that are compact, reliable and easy to use repeatedly.
The Waiter’s Knife Corkscrew is designed as a professional-style bar tool with a two-stage lever, foil cutter and bottle opener.
This makes it particularly suitable for:
- Restaurants
- Wine bars
- Hotels
- Pubs
- Catering companies
- Event venues
- Sommeliers
- Bartenders
A compact waiter’s knife can be carried easily and used across both wine and beer service.
Corkscrews for Home Bars
A reliable corkscrew should be one of the first accessories added to a home bar.
A useful home bar might include:
- Corkscrew
- Bottle opener
- Wine glasses
- Whisky tumblers
- Highball glasses
- Cocktail glasses
- Decanter
- Carafe
A multifunction tool such as the Waiter’s Corkscrew Miass can cover several opening tasks without taking up much space.
Complete your setup with our Wine Glasses and Cocktail Glasses.
Corkscrews for Wine Lovers
Anyone who regularly enjoys bottled wine needs a reliable corkscrew.
For someone who prefers traditional tools, the Waiter’s Knife Corkscrew provides a professional-style option.
For someone who values convenience, the VINO Electric Wine Bottle Opener offers an easy electric alternative.
Pair your corkscrew with our Wine Glasses collection and Wine Decanters to create a complete wine-serving collection.
Corkscrews for Dinner Parties
When entertaining guests, a corkscrew needs to work quickly and reliably.
A compact waiter’s corkscrew allows bottles to be opened directly at the dining table without requiring a bulky accessory.
For larger gatherings where several bottles may need to be opened, an electric opener such as the VINO Electric Wine Bottle Opener can provide additional convenience.
Once opened, wine can be served in our Wine Glasses or transferred to a Wine Decanter.
Wine Accessories for Entertaining
A corkscrew is only one part of a complete wine-serving setup.
Useful accessories include:
- Corkscrews
- Foil cutters
- Bottle openers
- Wine decanters
- Carafes
- Wine glasses
- Champagne glasses
Browse our Wine Glasses, Decanters and Carafes & Pitchers to build a coordinated drinks collection.

A multifunction waiter’s knife can cover several of these opening requirements while remaining compact enough for everyday storage.
Explore our wider Drinkware Accessories for additional bar and drinking accessories.
Bottle Openers for Parties
During parties, a reliable bottle opener should always be easy to find.
An integrated tool such as the Waiter’s Corkscrew Miass can open both corked wine bottles and crown-capped drinks.
That versatility makes it particularly useful for gatherings where guests may be drinking wine, beer and soft drinks.
Pair it with our Beer Glasses, Wine Glasses and Highball Glasses.
Corkscrews for Restaurants & Hospitality
Corkscrews are essential tools for professional drinks service.
Waiter’s knives are particularly useful because their folding designs are compact while combining several functions.
The Waiter’s Knife Corkscrew provides a foil cutter, integrated bottle opener and two-stage corkscrew in one professional-style tool.
The Waiter’s Corkscrew Miass offers a similar multifunction design with a distinctive bamboo-coated finish.

Christmas Corkscrew Gifts
Wine openers and bar tools make practical Christmas gifts because they can be used immediately throughout the festive season.
An electric opener is particularly useful when several bottles need to be opened during Christmas dinner or New Year's Eve celebrations.
A personalised waiter’s corkscrew can provide a more individual gift.
Pair either option with wine glasses for a complete Christmas present.
Wedding & Best Man Gifts
A personalised corkscrew can also make an unusual wedding-related gift.
The compact format of the Waiter’s Corkscrew Miass, combined with personalised engraving, makes it suitable for best men, groomsmen and wine enthusiasts.
It can also be paired with glassware to create a more substantial gift.
Electric vs Manual Corkscrews
Choosing between an electric and manual corkscrew depends largely on personal preference.
Manual Corkscrews
Manual tools such as waiter’s friends are compact, portable and give the user direct control over the opening process.
Electric Corkscrews
Electric wine openers reduce the amount of twisting and pulling required and can be particularly convenient when opening several bottles.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose a traditional waiter’s knife if you value compactness and versatility.
Choose an electric opener if convenience and minimal manual effort are more important.
How to Choose a Corkscrew
When selecting a corkscrew, consider how and where you will use it.
Home Use
A simple waiter’s corkscrew is compact and versatile.
Frequent Entertaining
An electric wine opener can make opening several bottles easier.
Professional Service
A two-stage waiter’s knife provides a compact solution for frequent wine service.
Multi-Drink Use
Choose a corkscrew with an integrated bottle opener if you also regularly serve beer.
Gifting
Personalised and electric openers can make particularly attractive presents.
How to Use a Waiter’s Corkscrew
Although designs vary slightly, a typical waiter’s corkscrew is used by first removing the foil from the bottle neck.
The corkscrew spiral is then inserted into the cork before the lever is rested against the bottle rim.
Two-stage designs allow the cork to be lifted gradually using two separate leverage positions.
Always follow the specific instructions supplied with your corkscrew.
Corkscrew Care
Keep your wine opener clean and dry after use.
If your corkscrew includes a folding blade or foil cutter, take care when opening and closing the tool.
Store sharp tools safely away from children.
For electric openers, follow the manufacturer's charging, battery and cleaning instructions.
Proper care can help ensure your opener continues to operate reliably.
Pair Corkscrews with Wine Glasses
A corkscrew and set of wine glasses are natural companions.
Explore our Wine Glasses collection for red, white and universal wine glasses from Krosno, Stölzle and other brands.
Once the bottle is open, a suitable glass allows the wine to be presented properly at the table.
Pair Wine Openers with Decanters
For wine that benefits from decanting, combine your opener with a Wine Decanter.
Open the bottle with your corkscrew and carefully transfer the wine into the decanter before serving.
For spirit drinkers, the same broader decanter collection also includes whisky and spirit designs.
Corkscrews vs Bottle Openers
Although the terms are sometimes grouped together, they perform different functions.
A corkscrew is designed primarily for removing corks from wine bottles.
A bottle opener typically removes crown caps from beer and soft-drink bottles.
Multifunction tools such as the Waiter’s Corkscrew Miass combine both functions in a single accessory.
This makes them particularly convenient for mixed drinks service.
