This corkscrew device is the perfect gift for that old-school oenophile who refuses to buy into today's high-tech wine-opening tools. It's just as easy to use as many of the more complex devices on the market: all you need to do is ratchet down, spin the cork and pull to pop open the wine and get the party started.

AN ACCOMPLISHED AIR

For the wine lover who thinks they've seen—or that they have—everything, this line of stemware is a breath of fresh air.
