"To make something you love is one thing, but to love something you make is another. Love is a key ingredient in everything, for without love their shall be no product. The world is missing love in its items, and that is what I shall deliver" Annabella Le Vin, Founder
In 1723, Annabella Le Vin, a French aristocrat, decided to move to Albertasby. In her home land of France, she was a food critic and a wine connoisseur; being described as one of the best in the business. With her husband, Pierre, they bought a vast estate in the Albertasbian coutryside.
Upon the estate, grapes were planted and the estate began to produce wines, but it wasn't until 1749 that Annabella began to turn the estate into a business. Previously, the wines had only ever been made for their world famous parties and their closest friends, but in 1749, she began to sell her wines at the marketplace, thus CorkScrew was founded.
With the passing on of two generations, Annabella and Pierre's grandchildren took over the estate. Under the joint ownership of Henri and his wife Aimée and Stéphanie and her husband Matthieu, the estate began to sell more and more beverages; with the introduction of beer, larger and cider.
In 1928, Jacques Le Vin inherited the estate, and he branched out to producing high quality cocktails, vodka and flavoured alcoholic drinks; branded as alcopops. He also extended the estate to some of the surrounding fields and the estate had grown massively.
With the April of 1956, Émilie Le Vin and her husband; Henri Clarence, began to expand the company even more. The company was growing rapidly and Émilie had and idea to make it seem to her competitors that the company wasn't dominating the market; she began to sell each individual beverage under a different trade / company name; even though she owned all of the companies.
The current owners of CorkScrew and the Le Vin estate are husband and wife; Philippe and Astrid Le Vin. Philippe was born into the estate and grew up on the farm with his parents. From a young age, he expressed interest in running the company and producing the drinks.
Astrid was an Albertasbian opera singer and actress. Born in Swantana, she was always a city girl and enjoyed the finer things in life. In the summer of 2001, the couple married and therefore Astrid was bought into the company. She adapted to it like a duck to water and began to enjoy the company; becoming a farm girl.
