History of Champion Wine Opener

Cork became a commonplace for shopping up wine bottles in the mid-18th century. The corkscrew then had to be invented so the cork could be cleanly removed.

It wasn't until the late 18th century that the first patent for a corkscrew was granted in Birmingham, England, to Samuel Henshall. The availability of a corkscrew allowed wine-makers to use an airtight seal, permitting wine to be stored for long periods of time.

Cork removal could be a challenge on a busy night in a saloon or public house back in 19th century America.
The need to safely open and serve wine resulted in the invention of the bar or speed corkscrew – one that combined speed, function and aesthetics.

Rogar International Corporation has been the premier name in speed wine openers since its introduction of the solid brass Vintner in 1975. Like Rogar’s current Champion and Estate openers, the Vintner was based on the “Champion Cork Removal System” made by the Arcade Manufacturing Company using Michael Redlinger’s American patent o 1897. Even then, the Champion had the unique ability to uncork and recork. Rogar took the original’s mechanical concept and has continued to enhance it with modern materials. The Vintner is no longer in production and has become a collector’s item. Rogar’s Estate and Champion wine openers are now the easiest way to open a wine bottle. They are fast, simple and foolproof.

As we enter a new millennium, Rogar has kept pace with the times. Although the inspiration for our wine openers comes from the past, the technology is 21st century. All our Estate and Champion openers have been designed to work on the newest flange top wine bottles as well as standard wine bottles.

All Rogar wine openers are proudly crafted in Virginia, USA, and carry a one-year limited warranty.
