OMAC Vesuvio Twin Lever Corker - Italian Hand Corking Machine for Wine Bottles

The OMAC Vesuvio is the classic Italian answer to corking day: a twin-lever hand corker, made in Italy, that compresses a straight wine cork in its tapered nylon-lined cone and drives it flush into the bottle in one smooth pull. Centre the cork, set the corker on the bottle neck, bring the levers down — corked. No wrestling, no half-inserted corks, no bruised palms.

It takes standard straight corks of Ø24mm and 33–38mm length — the classic wine format. OMAC’s tips from the box: boil hard corks briefly before use and keep the mechanism lightly lubricated with oenological oil for the smoothest action. A tool that corks a few hundred bottles a year for decades — Italian winemaking hardware the way it has always been built.
