L’Iroquois wine openers are another top choice from Ligne-France. These openers are named after the Iroquois tribe of Native Americans and feature a unique, hand-carved design inspired by indigenous culture. Like the Château Laguiole wine opener, L’Iroquois is made from high-quality materials and features a comfortable, ergonomic handle.
