Which electric wine openers are best?
If someone invites you to their home, it’s a common custom to gift them with a bottle of wine. This assumes, however, that they have a wine opener. In case they don’t, and in the spirit of the giving season, consider pairing that bottle with an electric wine opener. These handy tools can drill into a cork and pull it out easily with the touch of a button — all you need to do is hold it steady while it works.
Batteries
Electric wine openers use batteries, whether they be built-in and rechargeable or disposable AA or AAA batteries. Both options have their pros and cons.
Additionally, electric wine openers can give their maximum battery life in terms of hours or in how many bottles they can open before dying. The average opener lasts for six to eight hours and/or can open 30 bottles on a full battery. The best can last almost all day and/or can open 100 bottles.
Design
If you want to display your electric wine opener, make sure to find one you like the look of. Most are sleek, unobtrusive affairs but a few are more attractive than others. For example, some have a transparent bottom or come in several colors.
Extras
Electric wine openers often come with extras. These increase the price, so make sure you need what’s included before you spend the extra money.
Cost
Most electric wine openers cost $10-$50. Those with better batteries and more features and extras cost the most, but basic $10 openers are usually enough for the occasional wine drinker.
