| The Grand Cru foilcutter, made of mat polished spring steel and black rubber, is completely without loose parts which can be worn out or break. |
| The foil cutter is designed so it works on all types of foil, paper, plastic, aluminium and even works on lead if the bottle is from before 1993, when lead was prohibited to use as foil. | | You can live without the foilcutter, but once you have used it, it becomes difficult to do without. | | It is therefore a must to ensure a well presented bottle of vino. | | But why have the foil in the first place? | | Well, the foil - or cap - is a part of the wine's traditional wardrobe, but it originally served to protect the cork from mould or insect attacks during maturation. Today, metal foil or plastic are most prevalent but throughout the course of time many other materials - such as lead and enamel - have been used. |
