Le Creuset FC110 Foil Cutter
The Le Creuset FC110 Foil Cutter removes wine bottle foil capsules with a single quarter-turn motion. Its ergonomic polycarbonate design sits comfortably in your hand whilst providing enough grip to apply the light pressure needed for a clean cut.
Four sharp cutting wheels work simultaneously as you rotate the cutter, slicing through both plastic and metal foil without leaving frayed edges. This eliminates the frustration of trying to peel foil away manually or using a knife, which can result in ragged cuts or slipping.
Key features:
- Quarter-turn mechanism: Single 90-degree rotation removes the foil capsule cleanly
- Four-wheel cutting system: Sharp wheels cut simultaneously through plastic or metal foil
- Ergonomic design: Shaped to fit comfortably and securely in your hand
- Durable polycarbonate construction: Lightweight yet robust material
- 5 year manufacturer guarantee: Backed by Le Creuset's quality commitment
This foil cutter is designed for wine enthusiasts who want a reliable, efficient tool that works consistently across different foil types and bottle shapes.
What Customers Ask About the FC110 Foil Cutter
Yes. The FC110 has four sharp wheels designed to cut cleanly through both plastic and metal foil capsules. The quarter-turn mechanism provides enough cutting force for either material without requiring multiple attempts.
No. When used correctly with a single quarter-turn motion, the four-wheel cutting mechanism produces clean edges without fraying. Attempting to turn it multiple times or using excessive force may affect the cut quality.
Place the foil cutter over the top of the wine bottle so it grips the neck just below the foil capsule. Apply light downward pressure and rotate the cutter 90 degrees (a quarter turn). The four wheels cut through the foil as you turn, and you can then remove the top portion of the capsule.
This foil cutter is designed to fit standard wine bottle necks. Most still wine bottles (Bordeaux, Burgundy, and similar shapes) use a consistent neck diameter of approximately 29-30mm, which this cutter accommodates. Champagne and sparkling wine bottles have wider necks and may not fit securely.
It reflects Le Creuset's confidence in the product durability. Foil cutters can fail if the wheels become dull or if the mechanism breaks, so a 5 year guarantee provides reassurance. Combined with our half-price accidental damage replacement policy, you're covered for both manufacturing defects and accidents.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Rinse the foil cutter under warm water and dry thoroughly.
After each use: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. The cutting wheels may collect small pieces of foil - use a dry cloth or soft brush to remove any debris. Do not immerse in water for extended periods.
Storage: Store in a dry place. Avoid storing in damp conditions which may affect the cutting wheels over time.
Avoid: Do not use the foil cutter for any purpose other than removing wine bottle capsules. Do not attempt to force it onto bottle necks that don't fit comfortably.
