I just wanted to thank you for this video. I know it's 7 years old but it's quite possibly the only one with a hands-on review of this particular sommelier knife! Thank you Sir!
That's a sign of a true romantic -- or food lover. I was gifted an opener not unlike the Laguiole en Aubrac as gift for being in a groom's man in my sister's wedding ten years ago and I have been using it ever since. I can't imagine going without such a tool now.
Nice as always, Stefan. I know this is an old video, but I just happen to be shopping these knives right now and, lo and behold, your video popped up in the search. Just when you think you have all the knives you'll ever need, along comes another. Cheers.
Beautiful presentation as usual and beautiful wine bottle opener:) Thanks for bringing the finer style of knives and tools to us! I like those handle scales.
Great review, as always. When I saw this knife/wine bottle opener, I thought it was pretty funky looking, and I didn't understand the practical application of using it. However, when you did the demonstration with the wine bottle at the end of the video, it all made sense as to how the features work together. Good job, and I look forward to seeing more of your knife reviews in the future.
The length of corkscrew is very important when opening old French wines. As the corks are long and become more decayed at the base you need a screw that almost penetrates the base, otherwise the cork will break where decay has started.
Another great review. I have to admit that most of the time I prefer a cool beer over a glas of wine. But every once in a while me and my wife have glas of wine together. To open the bottle we use one of those fancy "easy-to-use" bottle-openers (don't know the exact name). But a beautiful sommelier knife like this one takes the celebration of opening a bottle of wine to another level. Maybe I have to drink more wine to have a reason to get a nice piece like this one. :-)
My mom got an olive wood opener as a gift. I love using it. I didn't know the co. who made it until I seen your reviews but within 10 seconds of handling and looking at it I knew it was an ordinary wine opener. The craftsmanship, the decorations. She asked me if I wanted it but I told her "no, I like it being here and using it for you." Hers came with a dark green leather pouch. Assuming yours did also, what kind of pouch did you get? Thank you.
Got one of those, but not a Laguiole though, it´s a "noname" item. Didnt know that there was "Handmade" Sommelier Knives. Thank You for this great video review!
Great vid. My cousin has become a sommelier...where did you say one could get that lovely piece of art? I think it would make a wonderous gift. Thanks. Craig
Nice video although there are two little but very important additions I'd like to make: 1. Turning the wine while using the foil cutter might harm the quality wine. It is recommanded to turn the foil cutter instead. 2. Place the spindle in the middle of the cork. 3. Don't push the spindle through the cork bottom and don't shock the wine with a plopp. Enjoy!
Forgot to add, I keep one in my glove box so I'm never forced to open a bottle with my Swiss, like some kind of savage. ;) As always, I appreciate the reviews.
nice tool for sure...I have one that was awarded to my wife from her company that's pretty nice, but not quite that nice....is important though, and depending on the day-week-month can be considered a true 'survival' knife :)
I do love those graceful Laguiole lines but if you are a professional you will go for the kind of sommelier knives with an articulated lever as they give more control and prevent cork breakages more effectively.
An inexpensive one. Takes up no space and both the wine and beer opening functions have come in handy more than once at barbecues, and impromptu picnics, and fishing trips, and the like. You might be surprised at how many people here Stateside don't have a decent wine opener of any sort. I figure if I need something one time, and having it handy isn't a burden, why not keep it handy for the next time? Like being a "prepper", but with less freeze-dried food and more joie de vivre. =)
Meh, my Glock78 does the same job (at least when it comes to sparkling wine and beer) ^^. Video on that coming up. In all honesty though, a very nice item. Would make an excellent gift for someone, I'm sure.
Hier im Rheingau setzen sich immer mehr Glaskorken oder Schraubverschlüsse durch. Hat den Vorteil, dass der Wein nie korkt. Dafür fehlt dann natürlich das "Plopp" beim Öffnen. Ich habe ein Kellnermesser von IKEA, das sieht allerdings nicht ganz so schick aus. ;-)
Do you expect me to know all international distributors of all the knife brands I present on my CZcams channel? Please contact Laguiole en Aubrac directly.
ужасно не профессионально крутить бутылку при срезе капсулы (промолчу про место среза) и выкручивать пробку из штопора... Лайоль заслуживает большего))) а так по факту: искал видео как открывать лайолем бутылку для того чтоб понять технику работы с одноступенчатым ножом сомелье, но из личного опыта поделюсь: главное знать длину пробки... для этого срезаю капсулу полностью, дальше уже как можно ближе вкручиваю и вытаскивать надо одним движением не заламывая...
Ok I’m horrible at wine service and I am trying to watch videos on how to properly open a wine bottle for customers & every single video I’ve found, the wine is opened on a table…🫤 in most fine dining restaurants, the wine is always held while opened, if I could sit it on a table I’d have zero issues 😅 does anyone out there in the interwebs land have any advice??? Plz help!

Thank you, Stefan. That demonstration at the end was everything 🙌🏽
Thanks for watching!

Thank you. Both for the demonstration and the delightful rendition of the Goldbergs by Ms. Ishizaka.
Thanks for watching!
You are the best reviewer of knives out there. Thank you for your time and effort. God bless.

Muy buena herramienta para tomarse un vino.saludos desde Bolivia

Stefan your reviews are superb...Bravo sir.
I love your style of videos they all look very professional and prepared for nice job

You have a very good eye for details, Andrew! Yes, I always care about those little details. Thanks for watching!
Dear Stefan,
your sommelier from LAGUIOLE EN AUBRAC is a beauty !!! and you video is as usual EXCELLENT.
Great video, Stefan.
I love the wine-colored font at the end. It's those little details that help make your vids better than most people's.
Haha, I noticed it the second time I watched. Beautiful, keep them coming.
You're awesome as usual. Missed your work. Best wishes and thanks for the review. Thumbs up!
Thank you for another superb video.
this is my choice style for slaying corks
great quality video as always :)
Thank you very much for your kind words!
Thank you very much!

Cool!
Lass dir auch in Zukunft den Wein gut schmecken!
Wunderbare Musik....da gehe ich gleich verloren drinnen!

Can you confirm where to purchase an actual Laguiole en Aubrac knife in L'Aveyron? I cannot find the actual location of their shop. Thanks!
Immer noch die alten Schnorrer, die Ossis! LOL - Herzlichen Dank für Deine lieben Worte, Tito!
Excellent review, as always...but what was the wine?
You cut the foil above the gollete of the bottle - wrong
Die Glasstopfen der Rheingauer Flöte kenne ich. Wir holen uns immer einmal im Jahr ein paar Kisten Riesling von Schloss Vollrads.
Great vid.
My cousin has become a sommelier...where did you say one could get that lovely piece of art?
I think it would make a wonderous gift.
Thanks.
Craig
Thank you! Yes, a lot of work is done before I actually turn on the camera.
Style. WOW
Cheers!
YESSSS I HAD NO IDEA HOW TO USE THIS THING! :D I had lost my easier bottle opener, I can get drunk now. :')
Let me hug you, brother! You are a true gentleman prepper! ;-)

1. Turning the wine while using the foil cutter might harm the quality wine. It is recommanded to turn the foil cutter instead.

I agree with you on these points. One other is that the bottle should not touch the table while being opened.
Also don't talk too loudly to prevent the wine from waking up. groggy wine is the worst! ugh!
I don't think the goal of this video was to be educational. It's an advertisement for that $150 screw.
...and the capsule has to be cut on the second notch, not on the first to prevent contamination.
When opening a bottle of wine it's not supposed to touch the table until everyone has been served
Vielen Dank! Liebe Grüße nach Spanien!
Thanks for stopping by, my friend!
Forgot to add, I keep one in my glove box so I'm never forced to open a bottle with my Swiss, like some kind of savage. ;)

Astiagogo I'm looking for a corkscrew for my sommelier fiancé. Any suggestions?
Victorinox Wine Master.
Thank you! It was a bottle of a rather inexpensive Bordeaux wine (Château Chenu-Lafitte).
You keep a sommelier knife in your glove box? Wow!
An inexpensive one. Takes up no space and both the wine and beer opening functions have come in handy more than once at barbecues, and impromptu picnics, and fishing trips, and the like.

😍 where and how to order that somelier knife? I'm from the Philippines.

Mine didn't come in a pouch, it came in the nice black presentation box that you can see in the video.
Thanks for watching!
What is the background music? please reply. Thank you --Harold
Just watch the video to the very end.
How do I open a bottle of wine? With a smile.
I've always known these tools as a "wine service." As distinguished from a mere "corkscrew."
cool, now thats what I call a wine bottle opener...
Balisongs or flipping knives are leagel in Germany or not?
Man sollte immer unterhalb des Flaschenhalses schneiden und ohne die Flasche zu drehen .
*not an ordinary

Château Chenu-Lafitte
i open my wine with the corkscrew on a SAK ...or i just open the box...and take the bag out..cause im cheap like that
Ich musste mit dem Teil ja üben, üben, üben: LOL

Well, some wines don't deserve a better treatment. ;-)
You opened the wine incorrectly lol.
adamo36532 Does it really matter
Oh man. If only they had used some nice heavy death metal music when the guy was uncorking the wine. This video would've been perfect. ;-)
