Rogar Champion (0600) Nickel Plated Wine Opener (Without Stand) Feature
- This Opener Clamps to the Bar, Shelf, or Optional Stand
- Made of Die Cast Metal, and Nickel Plated
- Crafted in Richmond Virginia USA
During his frequent saloon visits about a century ago, the legendary gourmand Diamond Jim Brady probably encountered a wine opener like this. In that era of mechanical inventiveness, it was called the "Champion Cork Removal System"--by any name, a thing of beauty and a joy forever. First manufactured in 1897, the design was replicated a century later. A nickel-plated model, this opener is ornamented with a vine-and-flower design from the Jacobean period between Elizabethan and Renaissance styles. It clamps to an antiqued steel arm that attaches to a solid base (Rogar also offers a table stand that works perfectly). Place any wine bottle--standard or flange top--into the opener, grip the clamps, pull the walnut handle, and in one second, the cork pops out. Recorking a bottle takes only a second, also.
