A bit of history... the Champion wine opener was a prominent fixture at Al Capone's bar on Van Buren Street in Chicago. During the Roaring 1920's, it opened bottles for Chicago's society and Al's friends. Later on, it was used in Al's estate in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. After Al's arrest in 1931 on income tax evasion, his property including the Champion was sold at auction. It is now back in the possession of Rogar International.

The Champion The Champion wine opener is a recreation of the original Champion first produced in 1897. Even the original artwork featuring a Jocabean vine and flower design has been duplicated. Die cast zinc metal is used for the base of our Champion series of wine openers. Two distinctive finishes are available (nickel-plated and pewter-plated) and each opener can uncork or recork a wine bottle in less than one second. The wine opener can be easily clamped onto a bar, shelf or table or can be used with our specially designed wood or granite table stands.
The EstateThe Estate wine opener is beautifully hand-finished and is based on the 1897 U.S. patent of Michael Redlinger. The Estate is fashioned of cast aluminum with an Antique Bronze finish. It features an ornate raised design of grapevines and clusters of grapes.
Opening a fine bottle of wine can be accomplished with style and ease and the bottle can be re-corked as well.
The Professional The Professional CorkMaster is a replica of another antique bar corkscrew. H.J. Williams patented this corkscrew in April 1891.
This speed opener, with its clear plastic safety barrier around the auger, is perfect for wineries, restaurants, caterers and even home bars. This opener automatically ejects the cork when the bottle is opened. It is easily mounted to a bar, shelf or table.
Rogar's History
The history of Rogar’s Estate and Champion Wine Openers is a history of the art of opening fine wines.
Cork became commonplace for stopping 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 Henshal. 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 it’s introduction of the solid brass Vintner in 1975. Like Rogar’s current Champion and Estate wine openers, the Vintner was based on the “Champion Cork Removal System” made by the Arcade Manufacturing Company using Michael Redlinger’s American patent of 1897. Even then, the Champion had the unique ability to uncork and recork. Rogar took the original mechanical concept and has continued to enhance it with modern materials. Although the Vintner is no longer in production and has become a collector’s item, Rogar’s Estate and Champion wine openers are now the fastest, easiest and most stylish 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 their wine openers comes from the past, the technology is 21st century.
All the Estate and Champion openers have been designed to work on the newest flange top wine bottles as well as standard wine bottles. They even can be used to open corked olive oil bottles.
All Rogar wine openers are proudly crafted in Virginia, USA, and carry a one-year limited warranty.
All Rogar Wine Openers are available for shipping throughout the United States, USA and Canada.
