The 7 Best Electric Wine Openers of 2022

While most wine experts opt for the traditional waiter’s friend corkscrew when opening a bottle of wine, gadgets like electric wine openers can serve a great purpose, too. “Electric openers can increase the likelihood of corks on older bottles to break," says Michele Thomas, a Brooklyn-based sommelier and writer. "However, for those with mobility issues or an injury, an electric opener is a fantastic option." She adds, "They can also be great for parties."

When looking for an electric wine opener, Thomas has a few tips: “For me, the key to picking the right electric opener is about design. Is it lightweight? Is it loud? How many bottles can be opened with a single charge? Is the worm stainless steel or coated for smooth insertion?” According to Thomas, cordless models are generally the best looking and easiest to use. Here are some of the best electric wine openers for your home bar.

Ivation’s sommelier-designed electric wine opener set has everything you need to enjoy (and preserve) any bottle of wine. The seven-piece kit is comprised of a rechargeable electric wine opener, electric vacuum preserver pump, aerating pourer, two airtight stoppers with a date stamp function, charging station and foil cutter. The opener works just like any standard electric wine opener—place it on the bottle’s neck and press the button to remove the cork while holding firmly in place (and press again to release the cork once it’s out). This opener can extract around 30 corks on each charge. Use the aerator to help any wine breathe as you pour into your glass or decanter, and if you’ve got leftover wine, extend its life by sealing the bottle with one of the airtight stoppers.
