I am pretty sure a "Wine Key" refers to one of these http://www.amazon.com/Waiters-Wine-Key-Chrome-Plated-boxed/dp/B004I4KOA0.
Cork screws are not "Wine Keys"
It's also called a wine key and a regular working one can be had for about $20.

Actually, a "wine key" is an actual thing that has a knife and corkscrew, as well as a lever to help you pull the cork (which almost always has a bottle-opener as well).
I'll be honest, those seem unnecessary. Why not get her a nice classic wine key, like this one - which is my go to (http://www.amazon.com/Waiters-Wine-Key-Chrome-Plated-boxed/dp/B004I4KOA0/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1370539824&sr=8-10&keywords=wine+key) and then spend that money on something more useful.
A Wine Key refers to something specific, the swiss army type corkscrew like this. A wine key is a corckscrew but not all corcscrews are wine keys.
Dad worked in restaurants growing up (Like really a nice one that sold copious amounts of wine), I only heard them referred to as wine keys.

we had both in the house regularly so I think sapir whorf would say it made sense for use to discriminate between the two.
False.
The tool that has a spiral metal thing that you put into a cork to remove it is called a "cork screw."
The tool that waiters at fancy restaurants carry with them that contains a cork screw, a small knife, and a can opener, is called a "wine key."
Edit Proof: A wine key contains a small knife which the waiter uses to cut the foil covering the cork. The can opener looking device is used to provide leverage to use the cork screw.
