Cuisinart Rechargeable Automatic Wine Opener With Vacuum

This is a great wine bottle opener. It’s very well made and look premium quality, also it’s very powerful so you have to grip the wine bottle quite strongly but it removes the cork very quickly. Excellent overall and would highly recommend if your after a cork opener.

Having read some of the 1 & 2 star reviews I am amazed – I think that some people are not in tune with the operation. I’ve had mine for over a year and opened many bottles! Just ordering another for a Christmas gift. Simply place the opener over the bottle while holding it, with the other hand, push lightly down and hold the ‘down’ button. The screw goes into the cork, and turns until it touches the top of the bottle and starts to extract the cork – at this point you have to keep holding the bottle as it tries to turn if the cork is tight. A few seconds and the cork is out and now press the top or ‘up’ button and the cork comes off the screw – simple! Its a lovely looking bit of kit which looks great and just works. It plugs into the mains for a quick re-charge which lasts a long time. There is also a foil cutter with a slot to hold it in the base station which is simple to use making a nice job of cutting the foil as well as making the bottle look good. I also use an aerator (separate purchase) which is a great addition to the ‘wine event’ – even the cheap ones. Not sure they do much to soften the wine but they do look good and prevent most drips.

It keeps the wine fresh too, there is another piece that you can put on the top of your wine bottle and it seals it like it’s never been opened.

Removes corks easily ideal for anyone who has dexterity issues, and anyone who doesn’t want to drink a whole bottle of wine in one go.
