Savvy Wine Openers For Anyone Who’s Ever Struggled With a Corkscrew

In the most trying of times, take comfort in the fact that one thing is for certain: A glass of wine makes everything better. There’s really nothing better than choosing from your treasure trove of bottles and seeing the red, white or pink swirling in your glass. But before you can wind down with your favorite sip, you have to get the damned thing open, and we all know how that goes.

If anything’s going to lower where wine is involved, it’s the uncorking process. Happy hour becomes a workout when you’re wrestling with corkscrews that either aren’t sharp enough to break the seal or get stuck halfway through. Thankfully, wine openers have undergone a series of upgrades over the past few years: Now there are electronic openers and lever gadgets that do the work for you, so you can spend less time stressing and more time sipping. And if you really want to use a manual tool (lol, why?), there are state-of-the-art wine openers that deliver that warm and fuzzy feeling of nostalgia you’re looking for, with a few contemporary touches.  

On that note, it’s wine o’clock somewhere. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to any of the following wine openers we’ve scoped out for you. You’ll appreciate how quickly they open so you can pour — and, believe us, so will your wrist.
