The Finest Electrical Wine Openers of 2024, Examined & Reviewed

Our Favourite Electrical Wine Opener 

We examined 10 electrical wine openers, however our high choose is the Peugeot Elis Contact Electrical Corkscrew. Glossy, barely heavier, and intuitive, the Peugeot eliminated the cork from our bottles in lower than 10 seconds with zero wobbling. We preferred its clear stainless-steel design and appreciated the compact charging station and foil cutter. We additionally preferred its pressure-activated automated begin function, which by no means brought about any false begins.

How We Examined Electrical Wine Openers

We examined 10 electrical wine openers by means of a month-long testing interval. We used the identical two bottles of nonetheless wine to check every wine opener: One white (a bottle of Grillo or a Muscadet) and one purple (a bottle of Nero d’Avola or a Portuguese Vinho Tinto). 

We evaluated every electrical wine opener by utilizing the under testing methodology:

• Design: We unboxed every wine opener and evaluated its basic design and building. We famous if it was a modern, enticing product we might fortunately show on our bar cart or if it felt cumbersome, heavy, or outdated. We additionally evaluated if the supplies felt sturdy or cheaply constructed and famous any useful design options like built-in foil cutters, included equipment, buttons, and LED mild shows. 
• Pace: Every time we used the electrical wine opener to open a bottle, we timed how lengthy it took to take away the cork. We additionally famous the downward pressure required to provoke the cork removing and ejection and the pressure required to take away the foil from a bottle if a foil cutter was included.
• Stability: We famous any wobbling or instability encountered throughout uncorking and if any corks obtained caught within the chamber throughout ejection.
• Noise: We noticed the noise produced by every opener, noting if it was distracting.  
• Handbook Begin: We paid shut consideration to fashions with automated begins, evaluating in the event that they helped or hindered the cork removing course of. Typically, we most well-liked guide begins with the push of a button since this gave us extra management. 

What We Seemed For

Ease of Use

The most effective electrical wine openers make it straightforward to shortly and safely take away a cork from a bottle of wine, so we paid shut consideration to how user-friendly the fashions have been in our checks. Any fashions that proved to be wobbly, felt unstable, broken the cork, or led to corks getting lodged within the chamber weren’t included in our record of winners. 

Included Equipment

Most electrical wine openers will embrace a USB twine and wall charging unit, however pricier electrical wine openers often additionally embrace an identical charging stand and foil cutter. For those who’re gifting a wine lover or on the lookout for a complete set, we advocate the Peugeot Elis Contact Electrical Corkscrew because it comes boxed with these equipment in a pleasant giftable field. 

Handbook vs Computerized Begins

We examined a number of openers with an automated begin and really discovered most to be tougher to make use of than these with a guide begin or a easy push-button. For some pressure-activated automated corkscrews we examined, the corkscrew falsely began earlier than making contact with the cork, and in some instances, earlier than it was even positioned on high of the bottle. Excluding the Peugeot Elis, we’d advocate electrical wine openers with a guide begin and, ideally, a easy push-button. 

Dimension

Positive, you’ll be utilizing your wine openers rather a lot — however there are definitely situations the place you may need to hold them out of sight, too. When testing one of the best electrical openers, we appeared for modern designs that weren’t unnecessarily cumbersome and will simply be saved, just like the travel-sized Ozeri, or the compact Zwilling. The exception to this rule is the Peugeot, which comes with a compact charging doc that you just’ll possible need to hold displayed in your bar cart anyhow. 

Different Electrical Wine Openers We Examined

After testing 10 electrical wine openers, we advocate solely the three picks on our record above. The under fashions fell brief in two or extra main testing classes, which prevented them from making our greatest record. Right here’s the place they may have finished higher:

Cuisinart EvolutionX Cordless 4-in-1 Wine Opener ($70 at Amazon)
This wine opener felt cheaply constructed as a result of its plastic body, and we felt its rectangular form was too awkward to snugly place onto a bottle of wine. It took us a couple of makes an attempt to make even contact with the cork to correctly take away the cork utilizing this opener. We needed to tilt the wine opener over and take a look at precisely the place the corkscrew was situated earlier than reducing it straight on high of every cork, so there was an additional step concerned to correctly align this opener each time. The included foil cutter additionally felt flimsy and virtually dangerously sharp. 

Cuisinart Vacuum Sealer Cordless Wine Opener ($40 at Amazon)
This wine opener has two buttons and was not as intuitive to make use of as we had hoped. We discovered we needed to maintain the bottom of the wine fairly firmly to stop the bottle from spinning and shifting round on the countertop. Whereas it eliminated the white wine’s cork very simply, we had hassle with the bottle of purple’s cork. It ended up fully bending, virtually in half.

Oster Electrical Wine Opener ($25 at Amazon)
The design of this wine opener felt excessively cumbersome, too tall, and a bit outdated. Throughout our checks, cork remnants fell into our bottle, and the extractors felt jilty, stopping and going alongside the best way. Whereas we preferred the included foil cutter, we didn’t just like the clunky charging station. In the end, this wine opener took upwards of 30 seconds to open a bottle of wine. 

Rabbit Computerized Electrical Corkscrew ($52 at Amazon)
We thought this wine opener was going to be the simplest to make use of since there are not any buttons and it is automated. Nevertheless, we shortly realized that it was very tough to get the timing down appropriately to correctly uncork. Since this corkscrew robotically begins at any detection of stress, the cork extraction course of began robotically (and prematurely) a number of occasions throughout our checks.

The entire cycle ran robotically for the uncorking and extrusion, and there was no approach to cease it. So if we misaligned the corkscrew or nudged the bottle in any respect earlier than we have been able to uncork, we needed to watch for the total 20-ish second cycle to finish earlier than we may open a bottle. There have been no buttons or options that allow us management the motion or cease the cycle, so this wine opener was not very straightforward to make use of by any means. It made opening a bottle tougher than it must be.

Rabbit Electrical Wine Opener Set ($50 at Amazon)
The precise extraction course of was comparatively clean and quick with this corkscrew, however we felt it got here with far too many subpar equipment. This set comes with an electrical corkscrew, a charging base, a foil cutter, an aerator/pourer, and two wine stoppers. Whereas it comes with a number of equipment, there are such a lot of items that we discovered the entire setup to be a bit overwhelming. Extra importantly: The foil cutter didn’t work. 

Secura Electrical Wine Opener ($23 at Amazon)
Whereas this wine opener semi-successfully opened our bottle of purple wine, the Secura Electrical Wine Opener fully broke the neck of our white wine, inflicting glass shards to enter the wine and posing a possible security hazard. We chalk this up partially to consumer error, however we additionally famous that this wine opener felt wobbly and secure when it did efficiently open our purple. 

Wine Fanatic 2-in-1 Electrical Blue Computerized Wine Bottle Opener ($60 at Amazon)
We thought the automated function would make this wine opener very straightforward to make use of, however we had problem positioning the corkscrew appropriately over the cork as soon as the automated uncorking course of had already begun. We additionally had to make use of a really safe grip and a good quantity of downward stress to stabilize the wine opener, which might be limiting for anybody with joint points or missing higher physique or arm power.

We might have most well-liked a button to carry as soon as we appropriately positioned this wine opener over the cork to provoke the uncorking course of manually. The automated uncorking proved to be extra problematic than useful. The button-operated extrusion course of, nonetheless, labored simply superb.
