Uncorking a bottle of wine is part of many a celebratory get-together, social event and romantic evening. Enjoying wine is a ritual that goes back centuries. So, it’s annoying when a wine key or corkscrew is difficult to use. No one wants to do battle just to open a bottle of vino.

Whether you’re a casual wine drinker or a frequent host with a dedicated at-home bar, having the right wine bottle opener is a must. For versatility, choose a combination wine and bottle opener; or, if you’re a dedicated wine enthusiast, consider an electric wine opener, which is certainly convenient if you have multiple bottles to open.

Look at reviews and consider additional features when choosing the best electric wine bottle opener to add to your collection of wine accessories.

An electric wine cork opener is simple to use—in fact it is designed to make the job of opening wine easier. Just select your wine of choice from the wine rack or wine cooler, cut off the foil top (most wine openers include a foil cutter to do this), place the electric wine opener on the mouth of the bottle and use the correct buttons to pull out the cork and then release the cork from the opener.

You may choose to add an automatic cork opener to your own collection or buy one as a host or hostess gift. Consider pairing it with a quality wine stopper or wine preservation system. Together, these gadgets are some of the bar accessories to improve the experience in small but meaningful ways.

You don’t have to be a sommelier to appreciate wine, but you can certainly feel a step closer to being a wine expert when you have the right wine accessories to heighten the experience.
