Screwpull - Creation & History of a High-tech Corkscrew (Hardcover)

After more than two centuries, the process of opening a bottle of
wine changed significantly in the 1970s with the introduction of
the Screwpull. This is the story of the development and realization
of one of the best devices in the world for removing a cork from a
wine bottle, the Screwpull, and its inventor, Herbert Allen.
Alongside hundreds of examples of experimental prototypes, patent
drawings, and many production models, the story unfolds to reveal
Allen's conceptualization of how the Screwpull should work and how
imitation knockoffs affected his market. The story goes on to
detail the events following Mr. Allen's death-the transfer of the
company to LeCreuset of France and the production of new models. A
beautifully illustrated and detailed history of this remarkable
product, Screwpull is the perfect addition to the libraries of
corkscrew collectors, product designers, those with good taste, and
wine aficionados.
