We love this neat gadget, the Screwpull metal cork catcher in a luxurious black nickel finish.


This is the most spectacular champagne cork remover we have seen in premium metal finish. Screwpull helps you open your sparkling wine or champagne with ease by catching the cork safely in the top of the device but without losing the excitement of the ‘POP!’ - Presented in a stylish black gift box.
Choosing a champagne for your wedding is often an overlooked element of the planning with many couples opting for the house champagne. Depending if thats the local country pub or a manor house that could be two very different tipples.
Each case though you’ll end up spending a considerable amount on champagne for your wedding, if you opt for the standard 2 glasses per guest.
Our tip is to order in smaller champagne flutes! and remember quite a number of non educated folk do not care for champagne so you can offer an alternative, say pimms and this will help your budget whilst keeping the toffs content!
