Knowing fine wine is an art, but apparently so is opening it. A Belgian dude called Frank Sveid has just designed and created what is the most expensive corkscrew on the planet at £36,000 – That equates to 3,600 bottles of good quality plonk!
I guess for the wine connoisseur who owns every gadget under the sun then this may be worth taking a mortgage out for!
The item itself works just like a normal corkscrew (it opens a bottle) but the difference lies in the build and quality as you’d expect. It’s handcrafted t order and made out of titanium and gold and constructed of 52 pieces of aviation titanium, including a lead cap cutter and the actual screw, and comes in its own cigar-like presentation box.
The lever is made out of 18-carat gold or platinum on request.
If so then you need to get yourself some motorized Inline Skates by Motosk8. YES, they’ve been outlawed here in the UK, but that makes them even more desirable as this year’s ‘must have Christmas gadget’.
On the standard version of the skates one of the boots has attached to it a 22.5cc two stroke engine which will achieve 25mph (that’s fast when you can’t stop). And if that isn’t enough for you then you can always opt for the high-performance version capable of a pant-smearing 35mph.
But beware, UK police forces have said they will confiscate the skates if they see them being used in public due to the fact that the petrol tank could rupture and send the rider up in flames along with other pedestrians.
If you produced this little beauty you may get as many ladies swarm you as you would do driving a Lambo… only difference would be that they would be geeks!
This little beauty was inspired by Italian craftmanship, and created by the Rich and Beautiful GmbH and embodies the Lamborghini brand. (Psssst.. it’s actually a Nokia!).
If you want the gory details you’ve got “Automobil Lamborghini” on its holder and an etched Lamborghini logo on the front. It’s got a 262,144 colour TFT display protected by scratch-resistant sapphire coated glass and an integrated 2-megapixel camera as well as a 128mb internal memory. The Nokia 8800 contains a selection of Lamborghini graphics for use as wallpapers or screensavers and a short documentary video by Lamborghini plus exclusive Ringtones that evoke the power of the Lamborghini engine!
