Meanwhile, the lever corkscrew – L’Atelier du Vin’s other iconic tool – has been galvanized with Cobalto blue leather, in a move that will delight purists and fun lovers alike, showcasing rivets painted a matte black.

Les Bons Amis go hand-in-hand, combining functionality with aesthetic design. The Bilame is perfectly suited to older bottles, while the lever corkscrew can handle all the rest.

Presented in a high-quality cardboard gift box, in a nod to the unrefined materials making up both corkscrews, the Les Bons Amis set is the perfect gift for a friend who enjoys French art de vivre and fine wine. We didn’t call it “Les Bons Amis” – “good friends” in French – for nothing.

My idea was to marry unrefined and noble materials.

Les Bons Amis, an Iconic and Stylish Corkscrew Duo

When the magic of the Bilame meets the conviviality of the winged corkscrew… The perfect opportunity for good friends to come together and enjoy good wine! These iconic L’Atelier du Vin bottle openers, with perfectly complementary opening mechanisms, are easy to carry around in their fresh and on-trend ginger red and cobalt blue genuine leather, custom-made cases. Les Bons Amis is the perfect gift for any wine lover with a zest for life!

The French Art of Living Wine

Les Bons Amis is the story of two L’Atelier du Vin emblematic corkscrews with a shared passion: discovering and enjoying the best that vineyards and winemakers have to offer each year.

A picnic with friends, a tasting session at a winery, a family meal, an oenological trip… The ingenious Bilame and popular winged corkscrew complement each other perfectly to ensure you never miss out on an opportunity to cultivate the art of living wine.

The Bilame and Winged Corkscrew Go Hand in Hand!

Les Bons Amis combines form and function and is always on hand for a fine wine tasting session. The 2 complementary opening mechanisms ensure that the cork is successfully extracted in any circumstances, whatever the bottle!

The Bilame, a Sommelier and Cellarman’s Secret Weapon

The Bilame corkscrew can extract the most fragile corks without piercing them, which is ideal for carefully opening and recorking old bottles. Its use requires a certain oenological savoir-faire and is sure to impress onlooking neophytes.

The Winged Corkscrew, an Icon of Popular Culture

The winged corkscrew, otherwise known as Le Charles de Gaulle in France, is an icon of popular culture and a must-have at any family gathering when sharing a nice bottle of red, white or rosé wine. It also includes a bottle opener for amateurs of craft beer. It is easy to use and reliable.

2 Fresh and Stylish Genuine Leather Cases

To give these classic corkscrews a little extra zing and colour, Margherita, a designer at L’Atelier du Vin, decided to dress them in red and blue genuine leather. The combination of high-quality materials and bright colours creates a contemporary and on-trend look.

Ginger Red and Cobalt Blue, a Vibrant Combination

The Bilame corkscrew, made out of raw zamak, is wrapped in ginger red leather, leaving the top part visible, thus retaining the simplicity of the design. Equipped with a genuine leather cord, the Les Bons Amis Bilame corkscrew can be worn around the neck or wrist for any occasion, such as a spur-of-the-moment picnic or an evening with friends.

Meanwhile, the winged corkscrew, an iconic L’Atelier du Vin tool, is enveloped in a cobalt blue leather belt, which will delight purist and adventurous wine lovers alike. Watch as this famous Charles de Gaulle bottle opener, with its matte black painted rivets, raises its two arms into the sky and announces a new tasting session!

I wanted to highlight their similarities and complementarities. So I played with the color of the edges, opting for red leather with a blue edge for one, and blue leather with a red edge for the other.

The Perfect Gift Idea for Wine Lovers

Les Bons Amis makes the perfect gift for parties, birthdays and any occasion to celebrate with good company.

The L’Atelier du Vin signature corkscrews are presented in a beautiful high-quality card box, in a nod to the unrefined materials used for both corkscrews, and will delight your family, friends and anyone who enjoys the French art de vivre and fine wine!

They bring a certain flow, confidence and grace to the wine experience.

The six decorative pieces are presented in a lined case crafted from responsible calfskin tanned in Italy. The outer leather is supple and sensual, while the inner is engineered to resist wine stains.

Lastly, a hidden, hand-sewn pocket can tuck away business cards, wine labels or thank you notes.

For Les Bijoux, I designed a case that’s minimalist and sleek on the outside to house precious pieces within.

Les Bijoux, Precious Jewels for Beautiful Bottles

L’Atelier du Vin’s Les Bijoux set, or “Jewels” in English, adds an elegant finishing touch to wine tasting sessions. Fitted to the ring or top of the bottle, these radiant accessories enhance the oenological experience, ensuring that the sommelier’s motions are smooth, confident and graceful.

The set is made up of 6 prestigious wine tools, designed to perfect the serving process and prolong the tasting experience, carefully arranged in a genuine leather pouch. Each of the 3 bottle stoppers and 3 wine drip rings, in matte pink, silver and gold, are as practical as they are elegant, and will showcase your finest bottles of wine.

This collection of luxury wine accessories, with its 3 exquisite hues and timeless designs, complements all wine colours, bottles shapes and label styles, from great historical grand crus to promising young vintages.

3 Elegant Wine Drip Rings

Inspired by the creations of bespoke jewellers, these pink, silver or gold metal adjustable drip rings were designed to enhance the wine bottle’s neck. But that’s not all. The absorbent felt layer on the inside discretely soaks up any drops of wine to ensure a perfect, drip-free pouring process.

3 Bottle Stoppers to Honour Each Tasting Experience

In the place of the cork, each bottle stopper crowns the glass bottle. With refined and ergonomic curves, these three jewel stoppers provide an optimal grip using the thumb and index finger. You can thus continue to enjoy an open bottle of wine, while uncorking and recorking it with great ease.

The stoppers are also made out of ideally weighted alloy, reflecting their value and quality. Their food-grade silicone rings adapt to all neck diameters to ensure an airtight seal. The wine is honoured as it should be and preserved to the very last drop.

A Responsible and Genuine Leather Case, Hand-Tanned in Italy

These six wine jewels are arranged in a double calf leather pouch, made from responsible leather tanned in Italy. Each leather case is a unique piece, handmade by highly skilled craftsmen, selected by our design studio.

The case’s outer leather is supple, raw and sensual, whereas the inner leather is smooth and technical to avoid wine stains. Enthusiasts can also insert business cards, wine labels or little thank you notes in the hidden hand-sewn pocket.

The Gard’Vin On/Off Power is a gem of technology which helps preserve fine wines for longer after opening them.

Release the aromas of spirits with the Exploreur Spirits glass.

By slowly turning your glass and so its contents, you will gain a true appreciation of the rich aromatic intensity of the brown spirits you’re tasting.

The ultimate in taste optimisation.

The Aroma Line, associated with a good ratio of the dimensions of the Explorer® Spirits glass allows you to better perceive and experience the ‘texture’ of (good) spirits with just a nip of alcohol in your glass.

The opening of the rim and the retention of aromas.

Unlike glasses with very ‘small’ openings, the Explorer® Spirits glass has been specifically designed to have a well-sized rim. This feature heightens your experience of the aromas while minimising the scent of alcohol.

A glass of specific dimensions.

The precise dimensions of the Exploreur Spirits glass allows you to experience the full aromatic expression of whiskeys, cognacs and rums… even in small volumes.
