This high-end corkscrew from Sveid uses a neat scissor action mechanism to easily uncork your bottle of wine or champagne instead of the usually twisting or prying action needed to get the cork out. And it should be easy if not completely effortless for the $71,000 price tag that comes with it.
The Sveid corkscrew is made up of 52 pieces made of aviation titanium along with a fingertip lever that can be made of 18k gold or platinum upon request. It also comes in a custom box that can be made from the wood of your choosing which locks the corkscrew in place when stored. You can check out the video of the Sveid corkscrew in action below and by the looks of it you’ll want to be sure to have your fingers in the right place when using this spendy contraption for fear of losing one!

That’s kinda cool but have you seen the $70 000 personal wine cellar by Veuve Clicquot and Porsche Design Studio?

Let’s say I do have a spare few grands around, at least I know which one to get!
