How much should I spend on a corkscrew?

I was recently ask if it was worth spending the money to get a Laguiole corkscrew versus a less expensive one. The Michelangelo is a large corkscrew 5.75 inches long and heavier than most corkscrews. I like the larger size of the Michelangelo, some people prefer the smaller (normal size). It comes in a natural wood box.
Laguiole is the Mercedes of corkscrews which sets the standards but it is pricey. You can't go wrong with a high end corkscrew like Laguiole if it's in your budget however, I think you would be pleasantly surprised with the quality of the Michelangelo corkscrew. With the cost savings in buying a Michelangelo you can afford to buy some other wine accessory like the Vinturi Wine Aerator and still end up spending less than the cost of a Laguiole.
Personally, in my wine cellar I use the Michelangelo corkscrew and I keep it displayed in the wood box which sits next to my wine aerator.

We carry a large selection of corkscrews which should satisfy anyones needs.

New Wine Accessories at Chicago Housewares Convention

We saw a number of new wine accessories at the Chicago Housewares convention. There are quite a few wine aerators on the market plus a product called The Wine Clip, which works with magnets. We tried both the aerator and wine clip and they do seem to make the wine smoother but they also reduce the nose. Has anyone tried these products if what did you think of them? Wines that are high in tannins appear to improve with these products. Do these products over aerate the wine? Comments?
