Alessi Anna G Corkscrew

A corkscrew shaped like a smiling woman who throws her arms up every time you knock back a bottle of plonk. Think of the little rascal as your debauched hype man. Mendini designed this in the nineties and ever since she’s been grinning on design-shop shelves.

The spec:

• Chromed zamak, several colours
• Twist the head, the arms lift the cork
• Roughly 19cm of cheerful

A gift for: the couple who turn up to the pre-drink pissed.
