Anyone in the market for a corkscrew? ...

[cmeisenzahl]

World's Most expensive corkscrew sells for £36000 - Luxurylaunches.com
"We always knew that wine is an expensive deal, but to take the fetish to another level, even the Corkscrew has hustled up it's prices. The world's most expensive corkscrew has gone on sale at a price of £36,000.($71,247) The extravagant corkcrew delivers the same function of opening a wine bottle, but the high price accords to the usage of Titanium and Gold while making this item, and that it is handcrafted to order. Made out of 52 pieces of aviation Titanium, including a lead cap cutter, and the actual screw, the corkscrew comes in it's own cigar like presentation. The Lever could also be made out of Titanium or 18-carat gold on request. The Sveid corkscrew is viewed more like a piece of art, although it could be used domestically."

It should come with a personal pianist so you can uncork to music, just like in the video.

Forget that! It should come with a butler that opens and serves it at that price.

Should come with an escort who sucks the cork out ...

Seriously though, if you could draw it up, most any machine shop charging one off hourly prices would build you one for a fraction of the price.

Forget about it

the only corkscrew you'd ever need and a real connaisseur will appreciate is a Laguiole "tire-bouchon de sommelier"

EUR 140 only

because everyone know aluminim just doesn't have the yield strength to perform reliably in bottle opening applications.

Titanium & gold... LOL

(oh, and titanium isn't that expensive anymore)
