There’s nothing like a fine bottle of wine to liven up any party or celebration. In order to ensure that the aroma and
flavour is perfectly preserved, almost all wine bottles are sealed with corks, which require wine openers to remove.
There are many different types of wine bottle openers, ranging from the twist corkscrew and the waiter’s corkscrew, to air pressure wine openers, winged corkscrews, air pump corkscrews and electric wine openers. While some types look more stylish than others and make great decorative home items, they can be difficult and cumbersome to use – which is not what you want especially when you’re stuck trying to open up a stubborn cork with dozens of guests waiting outside.
If you are not a traditionalist, electric wine openers, which are a fairly recent invention, make a good choice for opening wine bottles. While they can be a bit more expensive, they make up for it with convenience and looks, durability and long-term value.
How Does an Electric Wine Opener Work?
Traditional wine openers rely on manual strength to loosen a cork, which often involves rotating the opener repeatedly or using levers for leverage. The electric wine opener improves on the fundamental idea, but automates it. The corkscrew part is automated and rotates at the push of a button, digging into the cork and releasing it from the bottle within seconds.
Types of Electric Wine Openers
Electric wine openers come in plenty of designs, but they can generally be divided into two categories, based on how they are powered. Battery-operated units require batteries to operate , so you won’t have to look for power outlets. They are hands-free compact and easy to carry around – handy for outdoor parties. The other type is rechargeable, and has to be connected to a ‘base’ for recharging. The base plugs into a power outlet so these are best used in homes.
Advantages of Electric Wine Openers
Effective
The most basic wine opener, the twist corkscrew, was patented in 1795, while the common ‘waiter’s corkscrew’ was created in the early 19th century and is still widely used today due to its simplicity. However, these openers often require good wrist strength and proper technique to use. Electric wine bottle openers are effective almost every time, making them ideal for beginners and people with mobility or joint problems, such as the elderly.
Fast
With traditional wine openers, it often takes time to uncork each bottle, especially if you are not familiar with using the device. Since electric wine bottle openers are automated, they reduce the time needed for uncorking each bottle, and you don’t have to worry about your strength running out over time when opening multiple bottles.
Reliable
The design for traditional wine bottle openers has not changed much over the centuries. They are favoured because they are reliable – but the catch is that you need to be somewhat familiar with how to use it in order to gain maximum benefits. When pressure is improperly applied, it may actually drive the cork further in rather than loosening in, making it impossible to retrieve the contents of the bottle without breaking it. With electric wine bottle openers you always get precise movements and an even pressure and motion, as opposed to manual application which often wears down the user’s strength over time. This makes it ideal for people from all walks of life, including
the elderly.
Effortless
Some traditional wine openers have a complicated appearance and come with multiple appendages, which can also be daunting for first-time users to figure out. With electric wine bottle openers, users can expect fast, precise and easy action, simply by holding the device over the opening of the bottle, pressing a button and letting the machine do its job.
Easy to clean
As they are typically made from material such as stainless steel, electric wine openers are easy to clean and maintain, so you won’t have to worry about rusting.
Safe to use
Some wine openers have sharp edges on different parts, aimed at helping the user to leverage or pop out the cork easier. However, these can cause injury if not used properly. Most electric wine openers have a sleek and streamlined design that is also easy to grip, preventing accidental slippage.
Value for Money
Although electric units can seem more expensive initially, they give you more bang for your buck in the long run. Many models are rechargeable, and battery-powered units are also able to run for a long time.
Features of High Quality Electric Wine Openers
With so many types of electric wine openers on the market, choosing one can feel like a difficult task, but there are several features that you can look out for to help you with your choice.
Performance / ease of use
Performance can be measured in several ways, such as speed (namely the number of corks the machine is able to
remove per minute) and efficiency (how effective the machine is at removing the cork). A high quality electric wine opener should be fast as well as reliable.
Convenience
One of the main reasons that people choose to get an electric wine bottle opener is convenience, as they are easy to use and don’t require complicated instructions. Most can be operated at the simple push of a button. Also consider how easy it is to bring around, if you’re planning to use it outside the home, how convenient it is to charge if it is a rechargeable unit, or how often you might need to change the batteries if it is a battery-operated unit.
Build and Durability
Most if not all electric wine bottle openers are made from stainless steel, which is a strong and tensile material. The corkscrew (also known as the ‘spiral) is no doubt the part that is most often abused. It is usually covered in a protective layer of non-stick coating to prevent damage and rusting. You can gauge its durability by the number of times it can be used before needing a replacement. A good electric opener should last 800 to 1,000 uses.
To get the most value out of your purchase, proper care is needed. Keep the opener in good condition by cleaning the spiral occasionally with a damp cloth or sponge, and remove pieces of cork that may cling to it after use.
Design and Comfort
Look out for slim, sleek silhouettes and ergonomic shapes that are easy to grip. You will be holding the machine over the bottle, so it should not be too heavy or cumbersome. If you’re planning to carry it around, such as for special occasions or outdoor parties, then you will need to look for a compact and portable opener that is also lightweight.
Additional Features
Some openers include additional features built into the opener itself, such as a foil opener, which is used to tear away
the protective foil covering the bottle. Some openers come in a value for money ‘set’ and includes items like a wine aerator (a device that exposes the wine to more air so that it can ‘breathe’ – this process of oxidation allows for a softer wine and for aromas to be released), or a wine preserver (which stoppers the bottle and prevents degradation of the wine).
FAQs
Is an electric wine bottle opener better than a manual opener?
While an electric opener has its advantages and can certainly be more convenient in some ways, there are other factors to consider, such as personal preference and price.
Do electric wine bottle openers come with warranty?
Like many electrical items, most electric openers will have a warranty. The conditions and length of warranty are best checked with the respective retailers and manufacturers.
How do I know when to replace the corkscrew/ spiral section of the opener?
Extreme wear or misuse can shorten the lifespan of the spiral, and you will usually see signs of this if there is visible flaking or the metal showing underneath the nonstick coating.
How do I ensure the spiral lasts?
Always ensure that the foil cap is removed properly before pulling the cork, as the material can scrape against the spiral and cause the coating to peel off. Wax seals should also be disposed of before opening the wine bottle.

Performance / Ease of Use
Ivation’s electric corkscrew extractor offers a modern solution to uncorking wine bottles, as it is able to seamlessly remove up to 30 stoppers on one full charge. Say goodbye to manual twisting, turning and pulling, as the machine operates at the simple touch of a button, which sends the spiral down in a clockwise direction, entering the cork before slowly pulling it out, without the need for strength or force. Furthermore, the precise motion and application of pressure is just right, so you will never get a stuck or broken cork.
The opener works on both normal as well as synthetic corks, although with the latter, there is a tendency for the cork to stick to the spiral – which would require you to remove it with a small pair of pliers. Another thing that users should note is that the opener should always be held upright over the neck of the bottle; if it is held at a slight angle, this will hinder the spiral’s ability to remove the cork. To release, press and hold the button to turn the spiral in a counterclockwise direction.
Convenience
The Ivation electric opener is cordless, so you don’t have to worry about tangling. It is lightweight and portable. It is also very convenient to recharge the opener as well as the included electric preserver, by placing them into the dedicated pods on the charging base. The base comes with a power adapter, so you can connect it to different power outlets. It has a power input of 9V DC 200mA.
When not in use, the opener should be placed in the charging base to protect the mechanism. Each charge takes 10 to 12 hours, so there won’t be problems leaving the unit to charge overnight. An integrated viewing window allows you to see the spiral in action so that you can gauge whether the mechanism is properly positioned.
Build and Durability
Featuring a tough but lightweight stainless steel body, the opener has a sleek and streamlined build that is easy to grip. The unit measures 2 x 9.7 inches and can easily fit into bags; a handy tool to bring along for parties or gatherings. The charging base is 7.9 x 1 x 4.3 inches, so it won’t take up much space on the counter.
Additional Features
Aside from the opener, the set also comes with a foil cutter that is razor sharp but still safe to use, a premium aerator which mixes air into the wine to allow it to ‘breathe’ thus enhancing the flavour and pour precision, an electric wine preserver that helps to extend the wine’s freshness by removing air from the open bottle, as well as special date-stamped stoppers.
The charging base has attractive blue LEDs that light up when charging, making it an attractive addition to your home bar or counter. For peace of mind, the set and its components are covered by a limited one year warranty.
Highlights
Complete set for wine drinkers, includes opener, preserver, stoppers, aerator, foil cutter
The Cuisinart brand needs no introduction, as it is known internationally for its quality cookware and home
appliances, which include everything from food processors and blenders, to kettles and toasters. With the CWO025 electric wine opener, you can expect the same level of quality and assurance that comes with the Cuisinart name.
Performance/Ease of Use
Say goodbye to manual labour, as the CWO025 opener is efficient and able to uncork up to 50 bottles on a single charge. It is simple to operate as it only has two buttons, namely ‘remove’ which sends the spiral down into the cork, and ‘eject’ which is used to release the cork. While it is fairly easy to use, the opener has to be placed directly over the wine bottle’s opening for it to work properly. This might take some getting used to due to the machine’s ‘closed’ design, which is unlike the Ivation which has a transparent window for you to see where the spiral is going. The CWO025 works well for both synthetic and natural corks.
There are a few drawbacks to the CWO025. The machine can be quite loud while in operation, and it can be slow, especially if you’re an expert at popping corks using traditional corkscrews. Another thing to note is that the machine must be placed completely upright; else, the corkscrew might end up chipping the bottle.
Convenience
The CWO025 boasts a sleek and compact design that is easy to grip. Being cordless, the unit is convenient to carry around without having to deal with plugs and wires. It runs on NiHM batteries, rechargeable via a charging base. Recharging is fast and an LED light on the base indicates when the unit is charging.
Build and Durability
Boasting a brushed, stainless steel exterior that is at once modern and elegant, this is one wine opener that you wouldn’t mind putting on display in your home, even when you’re not using it. At 3.5 x 4.75 x 10 inches, it is slim and lightweight at around 2 lbs, so you won’t feel fatigued even if you have to open multiple bottles. The exterior is also easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth. The charging base boasts the same elegant look and feel, with metallic and black tones.
Additional Features
You won’t have to buy a separate foil cutter, as the CWO025 comes with its own cutter that neatly trims off foil seals to ensure clean openings and drip-free pours. The cutter stores nearly underneath the charging base.
American brand Secura, Inc manufactures small home appliances, from grills and fryers to coffee makers and knife
sharpeners. Electric wine openers are also part of its repertoire, and this model is ideal for both personal use or as a gift, owing to its practicality and attractive appearance.
Performance / Ease of Use
The Secura opener opens up to 30 bottles on one charge, and each cork takes about six seconds to remove, saving you time and energy. It is compatible with most wine bottle sizes. To use, simply place it upright over the wine bottle opening, press the ‘Down’ button to lower the spiral and remove the cork, and then ‘up’ button until the cork is released. Holding it in position is easy, as the design features a transparent shell which enables the user to see where the spiral is positioned. The opener works on both natural and synthetic corks. The machine produces around 50dB of sound, which is quieter than most air conditioners.
Convenience
The Secura opener runs on 100-240V, which is compatible with most countries around the world. The unit is cordless, rechargeable and comes with a charging base. Owing to its small footprint, it is ideal for small apartments, as you can store it inside the wine fridge, storage rack or kitchen shelf.
Build and Durability
Featuring a stainless steel body and tough transparent shell, the Secura is not only durable but also easy to clean. At just over 11 x 4.92 inches, it is compact and lightweight, and comes in attractive hues of either silver, blue, pink or gold, with matching LED lights. The battery is built-in and cannot be disassembled, so the unit is rendered unusable once the battery has reached its lifespan. In endurance tests, it can last up to 5,000 uses. To ensure that you get the maximum battery lifespan, the unit should be charged every three months when not in regular use.
Additional Features
The Secura comes with a transparent foil cutter, which matches the appearance of the opener. The company offers a 12-month warranty for manufacturing defects.

Performance/Ease of Use
You can easily remove corks within seconds using the 76610’s up and down button. All you have to do is place the machine vertically over the mouth of the bottle, push down to allow the spiral to penetrate the cork, and continue pressing for it to remove the cork. The opener works for both natural and synthetic corks, and is able to open 30 stoppers in a single charge.
Convenience
Whether it’s for indoor or outdoor use, the 76610 allows you to easily open bottles anywhere, thanks to its cordless and portable design. When not in use, the opener recharges on the base which features LED light that turns green to indicate a full charge.

Another offering by Cuisinart, the CWO-50 is a step up from the CWO-25, and makes for a great present or use in
homes, or for catering, banquets, restaurants or bars.
Performance/Ease of Use
If you dislike recharging often, then the CWO-50 is the way to go, as it removes up to 80 corks on a single full charge. To use, position the unit upright over the mouth of the bottle, press down to get the spiral to remove the cork, and up to release it. However, just like the CWO-25, it can be difficult to gauge where the spiral is due to the machine’s closed design. The machine produces some noise for the first 15 seconds, but quiets down after. It works for both natural and synthetic corks.
Convenience
The CWO-50 contains rechargeable NiMH batteries, allowing users to go cordless and providing you with more freedom of movement. The rechargeable base is unobtrusive and features convenient LED lights that indicate power and charging states. The batteries are non-replaceable, as the unit cannot be disassembled.
Build and Durability
The body of the CWO-50 features brushed stainless accents and a rubberised section for superior grip, so you’ll never have to worry about slipping. The opener measures 5 x 6 x 15.8 inches, and the compact base means it barely takes up space on the kitchen counter.
Additional Features
The CWO-50 comes with a foil cutter and vacuum sealer to preserve flavour and freshness of unfinished wine, so you don’t have to purchase them separately. The rechargeable base even has a nook to store the items. The cutter is very sharp but safe to use, while the sealer fits over the bottle’s mouth to create an airtight seal, with a scale that helps you set the day as a reminder. As for the electric opener, the machine has a limited one year product warranty and a limited five-year warranty on the motor.
