Campagnolo has released a very special limited-edition gold-plated version of its Big Corkscrew just in time for Christmas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The corkscrews retail for an eye-watering \u20ac1,950, making them pricier than Ekar<\/a>, the brand\u2019s gravel groupset.<\/p>\n

The limited-edition corkscrews come in 18-karat Rose Gold and 24-karat Gold options.<\/p>\n

Campagnolo for your Barolo<\/h2>\n

There are plenty of fine details etched into the corkscrew.<\/span><\/figcaption> Campagnolo<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Tullio Campagnolo is responsible for several key cycling innovations<\/a> \u2013 including the cam-design quick-release skewer and the parallelogram-style rear derailleur \u2013 but he is also said to have pioneered the self-centring corkscrew.<\/p>\n

According to the Italian brand, the corkscrew originated from an incident in 1966 where Tullio hurt his hand opening an awkward bottle of wine with a corkscrew that wasn\u2019t up to the job.<\/p>\n

Minutes after the incident, he is said to have designed a new type of corkscrew that uses a self-centring telescopic bell. This positions the screw exactly in the centre of the cork, allowing for easy extraction.<\/p>\n

Campagnolo says the design never punctures the lower part of the cork or raises any of the wine\u2019s sediments.<\/p>\n

The two levers of the corkscrew are fastened to the body using chainring bolts.<\/p>\n

A ten-fold price increase<\/h2>\n

Who knew a big corkscrew could be such a big investment?<\/span><\/figcaption> Campagnolo<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

The Big Corkscrew has seen a few different finishes over the years, including bronze, satin, black and titanium versions. The Big Corkscrew typically retails for \u00a3174.99 \/ \u20ac179, but these new gold-plated designs see the price jump more than ten-fold.<\/p>\n

UK and international pricing is to be confirmed.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
