Frank Sveid's Corkscrew Earns "Most Expensive" Title
Since my father is quite the avid wino I have certainly seen my share of interesting gadgets with which to open bottles of wine. But Frank Sveid's corkscrew made of aviation titanium and 18K gold (or platinum if you prefer) definitely takes the cake. Presented in a beautiful cigar-esque box and handcrafted to perfection when ordered it is a work of art. The video of its exquisite movement suggests the reason behind its luxury-level price tag of £36,000.

I'm not sure if you meant "wino" in a humorous manner, but as someone who does not know you or your father, "wino" carries a negative connotation; perhaps "enophile" would be a more accurate descriptor?
