Alessi's Socrates corkscrew, designed by Jasper Morrison, is a playful wine opener whose name refers to the Socratic method, in which the right answers are skillfully and precisely drawn out through dialogue – much like a cork from a wine bottle. Crafted from polished stainless steel, the Socrates corkscrew features a folding form and a sturdy handle that aids in cork extraction. True to Morrison's style, the design is stripped of any excess yet remains distinctively eye-catching.
