You like having the right tool for the job, and the right tool for opening a fine bottle of wine is an aluminum Forge de Laguiole corkscrew: http://www.forge-de-laguiole.com/visualisation.asp?image=upload/pagesEdito/SOMAlu3.jpg - hand-made and guaranteed for life, neither of which would justify the over-$200 price were the object itself not so aesthetically pleasing.
Sensible? Of course not. A two buck special from your local liquor depot will get a bottle open. But then 99-percent of the purchases we make aren't sensible, are they? If all we need is food and shelter, how many of the things we spend cash on qualify?
Like a beautifully-crafted pottery mug - $20, when a $1 mass-produced mug holds coffee just as well - this object combines function and art, seamlessly elevating the quality of otherwise routine activities.
Too esoteric for you? Well then, let me use language you'll understand: IT LOOk GOoD. rICK SAY u LiKE.
