Winged corkscrew and Bilame corkscrew
The two go hand-in-hand.A trendy twist on French art de vivre.
L’Atelier du Vin designer Margherita has revisited our two iconic corkscrews, wrapping them in red and blue leather.
The Bilame corkscrew features Ginger red leather, but stays true to the model’s classic simplicity in unrefined zamak, with links left deliberately visible. Suspended from a black leather cord, the Les Bons Amis Bilame corkscrew can be worn around the neck or wrist for spur-of-the-moment picnics or evenings with friends.
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."

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."
– Margherita, Leather designer for L’Atelier du Vin.The Perfect Gift Idea for Wine Lovers

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!
