The Champion is a recreation of the original Champion first produced in 1897. Even the original artwork featuring a Jacobean vine and flower design has been duplicated, and it features a medallion that celebrates the 100th anniversary. Die cast zinc metal is used for the base of the Champion series of wine openers, and each opener can uncork or recork a wine bottle in less than one second. The opener can be detached from the stand in order to mount to a bar, shelf, or table at home to cork and recork with style and ease. Proudly crafted in the USA.
