The evolution of corkscrew design is clearly presented in extensive
text and displayed in over 500 photographs - over 450 in beautiful
color - and 1000 U.S. patent drawings dating from 1851 to 1994.
Brother Timothy Diener, the former winemaker at the Christian
Brothers celler in Napa, California has written the Foreword. The
book is arranged chronologically to show the development of
designs. Here is a progression of corkscrews from common to unique,
in materials from metals to plastics, and in value from inexpensive
to priceless. The diversity is amazing. This book is a unique blend
of primary research, visual excitement, and friendly dialogue which
enriches our appreciation of corkscrews.
