Artists enjoy taking a simple theme and producing a hundred variations on it. The Alessi wine corkscrew catalog contains numerous examples of that simple truth. It offers models to add elegance to the kitchen, some humor in the den, or ones to just generate conversation in the living room. Wherever you open your wine, there is a style perfect for you.

One evening you may be feeling wise and scholarly. The Alessi Socrates corkscrew becomes your ideal choice. The form is by Morrison Jasper, but the substance is all Alessi. Made from 18/10 mirror polished stainless steel, it’s more than a mere utilitarian device. It is a work of art that will make you feel like a philosopher king.

In the den you may not want the servants to wait on you hand and foot. The Anna G. corkscrew is the next best thing. Made from chrome-plated zamak, this delightful design is the perfect wine opening assistant. Using it, you can be your own sommelier without feeling like part of the kitchen help.

Based on a statue in Bremen, Germany, the Anna G design (first created in 1996) was soon adapted to a wide array of household goods. Nowhere has that effort been more successful than in this delightful corkscrew.

Anna may need a companion in order to avoid feeling lonely. Consider mating her with the Alessi Alessandro corkscrew. Made from the same fine materials and coming in a variety of colors (red, blue, yellow, and mixed), this tool will delight even the most serious of sommeliers.

Admit it. There are those days when you want to say Screw.it. Now you can let your corkscrew say it for you in the most elegant way. This outstanding design from the Alessi catalog is made of mirror-polished stainless steel topped with minimalist melamine plastic. You’ll feel better the minute you start using it.

If that doesn’t suffice, try an imaginary trip to the tropics. Be sure to take along your Alessi Parrot corkscrew. Decorated in black or bright blue, it may not tell you when to open your bottle but, it will make the whole experience much more relaxing.

Consider the bright green Parrot corkscrew opener instead or go all out for the multi-colored Proust. You won’t need to take along a fine novel to generate lots of clever conversation. This cast aluminum tool will generate lots of talk by the wine sippers in any case.

But if you happen to be scouring the Alessi catalog for the ultimate in sophistication for your corkscrew choice, please consider the Smoki Christiani. Saying it is made from shell-moulded cast aluminum makes it sound mundane. Yet one look will tell you this is not just a wine opening device - it is a work of art you will want to buy for others to admire.

Selecting a corkscrew could rightly be considered a mundane task. Turn it into an adventure. Lift your spirits and improve your decor by spending a few minutes reviewing the Alessi corkscrew bottle opener catalog. You’ll find that you are not just selecting a sommelier’s tool, but a tiny sculpture that will add beauty to your home.
