Best Wine Bottle Openers

Updated on December 3, 2012

The best wine bottle openers are the ones you can use quickly and easily. You have a bottle of wine, but it is corked and there really only is one way to actually get to the wine to drink it, and that is with a wine bottle opener.

No that is not as dumb as it sounds! You really can't open a bottle any other way - trust me I have tried. You can sit with a screwdriver and try, but all that will happen is that the cork breaks up and contaminates the wine.

Now there are several different types of wine bottle openers.

The cheapest is just a spiral metallic end with a handle. You screw the spiral into the cork, then pull and you will need brute force to pull it out. This is fine if you are young and fit and possess the strength needed.

Yet others have a lever so that once the spiral end is inserted, you can use the edges of the bottle to lever the cork out. This is less work that the first option, but still difficult, if not impossible, for the elderly or infirm.

Then we have the type than once inserted all you have to do is pull the handles on both sides down at the same time, and the cork pops out. Out of all the cheaper types of wine bottle openers, this is probably the most practical as it is easy to use.

Electric wine bottle openers make light work of opening bottles, and for people who entertain a lot, this would be the bottle opener of choice.

  • Opens up to 30 bottles on a single charge; simple push-button operation

What a great buy! You can carry this electric wine bottle opener to wherever the people are at your party, indoors or out. No need for an electric point to plug it in, no wires, no fuss. Simply place it over your bottle and press a button. Cork comes out and you get down to the serious job of drinking the contents!

Buy 2 if you entertain a lot and regularly use more than 30 bottles of wine in one sitting. That way you can always have one on charge, should the first one run out of power.

This is the exact same Oster 4208 Inspire Electric Wine Opener as above but with a Wine Chiller too!

This would make a great Christmas or other occasion gift as well!

As well as purchasing a fantastic cordless wine bottle opener, which if you read the customer reviews through on Amazon you will realise is a great buy, you also get an electric wine chiller too.

Halfway through a dinner party you may realise the chilled wine is getting low.

With the electric wine chiller you can quickly and easily chill a fresh bottle - this is a much better idea that placing the bottle into the freezer for a quick chill.

I've done that before and forgotten about it.

The result is the bottle and its contents freeze, then explode.

Avoid that scenario by buying the Oster 4208 Inspire Electric Wine Opener with Wine Chiller.

The True Fabrications Nautilus Wine Opener Set is a manual wine bottle opener, but designed in such a way to make it super-easy to use, especially for those of us with weaker hands and wrists.

The grip is natural and comfortable to hold, and makes opening wine bottles extremely easy.

If you read the reviews through at Amazon, almost everyone agreed that this is a super little wine bottle opener. One person said they found it awkward and unnatural, as well as lightweight and not especially fit for the purpose.

Certainly from looking at the photos, it looks like a very nice and practical wine bottle opener.

To be honest I haven't tried it so can't say for certain.

What is worth remembering if you are considering buying the True Fabrications Nautilus Wine Opener Set is that everyone else who reviewed it, raved about it. This suggests it really is as good as it says on the packaging.
