Helixophiles, rejoice! Corks off and THANK YOU to Samuel Henshall for designing and patenting the corkscrew and getting us to our wine so elegantly.

in Henshall’s patent, the top surface of the button between shank and helix is inscribed, “OBSTANDO PROMOVES, SOHO PATENT” (which means “by standing firm one makes advancement”).

A portion of proceeds from sales of this item will provide scholarship opportunity to those seeking certification as a sommelier.
