I beg to differ completely. I happen to open some 4000 bottles a
year, and my last Laguiole survived for five years. I have yet to
see *any* other brand with such a performance. We sometimes use
give-away waiters friends - many do not even survive one larger
tasting (~ 400 corks to pull).

Not that I would put too much weight on that argument, but
Laguiole is state of the art in any sommelier competion on this
planet.
