Its sleek design, ease of use, and an included foil cutter are the top reasons we think the Oster’s Silver Electric Wine Opener is an excellent choice. Accented in black, this budget-friendly model opens a wine bottle effortlessly with a single touch. As you hold the opener, the corkscrew penetrates and then removes the cork with one press of the button. The soft-grip handle is comfortable and ergonomically designed.

During testing, we were able to open a bottle of wine in a matter of seconds. We found it extremely easy to use and appreciated that it came with its own foil cutter, making the bottle-opening process even easier. 

The opener’s charging base measures 5.51 x 5.32 inches and includes storage space for the foil cutter. The unit recharges in six to eight hours and can open about 30 bottles of wine on a full charge. We did find the red power light to be a bit harsh, but that is not a reason to fret with this option.

After testing this one, we believe the Secura Electric Wine Opener is among the best available and is very helpful for anyone who needs a little bit of extra help with tasks and heavy lifting. We were impressed right away with the stylish design of this model, with the stainless steel build blending in nicely with the other steel appliances in the kitchen, and were continuously impressed during testing. We found that this model easily removed the cork in seconds thanks to the opener’s one-touch, up/down functionality. Only a tiny bit of pressure was needed when removing the cork but it didn't take that much effort.

It should be noted that you should use it on a level surface and that it does wobble a bit while on the charging station. But we love that you can see if the corkscrew and cork line up through the transparent shell. There’s also a bright LED light illuminating the inner chamber during opening.

It comes in four color options: stainless steel, champagne gold, blue, and rose gold. The opener also includes a foil cutter, which has a storage slot on the base. When fully charged, it can open up to 30 bottles.

Ozeri Nouveaux Electric Removable Free Foil Cutter Wine Opener

View On Amazon View On Wayfair View On Walmart

Electric wine bottle openers are perfect for reducing the risk of cork breakage. This model from Ozeri also reduces the annoyance of cutting a bottle’s sealing foil since it comes with a built-in foil opener.

Upon first receiving this wine opener, we liked its high-tech look and that the bottom of the opener has a light blue glow when charging. While testing, this opener removed a wine’s foil in two seconds, causing it to fall off like a bottlecap.

This model utilizes one-touch functionality for operation, and there’s a blue light and transparent window to help you line up the bottle and the corkscrew. Measuring just 3 inches in diameter, this electric opener can happily live on your counter or bar cart. 

This opener doesn’t have a charging base; instead, you can connect it directly to a charging cable. (We don't love this, but it makes it easier to store). A full charge can open about 40 bottles of wine. We also love that the black and brushed metal elements match most kitchens and make it pleasing to the eye enough to leave it on the counter or bar cart when it is not charging.

Rabbit is renowned for its wine bottle openers, both manual and electric. With a timeless black and gold design, the RBT Electric Corkscrew by Rabbit is effortless and definitely a worthwhile splurge—for yourself or to give as a gift.

Measuring 8.27 inches in height and made from stainless steel, the RBT fits over the neck of a bottle and will automatically begin to penetrate the cork. The opener also auto-ejects once finished. The set includes an anti-slip coaster to prevent your wine bottle from rotating during opening, as well as an integrated foil cutter that can be attached easily to the top of the model. 

Unlike many rechargeable openers, the RBT’s USB cable plugs directly into the wall for charging and opens over 30 bottles before a recharge.

During testing the first thing we noticed was the sleek golden-brass finish on this electric corkscrew, but the second thing we noticed was the finish picking up fingerprints. The automated nature of this opener made it feel more like it came from the 21st century than the others, but it did break the (natural) cork a bit as it was retrieving it from the neck of the bottle. Overall, we found the process was mostly effortless, and it was one of the quietest models we tested.

Glass bar carts with gold or brass accents are popular in home decor. A sleek opener with an Art Deco style, WITANHURST’s Electric Wine Opener is designed to fit right in.

Available in black, with gold, red, or silver accents, this opener automatically removes the cork when placed on the neck of a bottle and auto-ejects it afterward. A hidden magnetic foil cutter connects to the top of the model and cleverly hides the power button. A compact base for wireless charging and USB charging completes the design. However, the AC adapter wall plug isn't included. After charging, it can open up to 60 bottles.

Appearance-wise, this was one of our favorites. It looks striking and elegant in person. The foil cutter atop the power button was a nice touch, but it did take the foil cutter a few tries to successfully remove the foil. It took out the cork cleanly (no breakage here!) and quickly, though, and for that reason, is one of our top picks.

Best Set, Battery-Operated

Flauno Cordless Automatic Electric Corkscrew Bottle Opener Set

View On Amazon

Battery-operated wine openers offer the advantage of more bottle capability on one set of batteries and the ability to swap them out on the go. We love Flauno’s Electric Wine Opener because it can be operated by four AA batteries, enough for 120 bottles of wine, and also comes with other necessary wine accessories. 

The main star of the kit is the aluminum wine opener, which features a Teflon drill and LED light in the transparent internal chamber. The opener has two buttons—up or down—for operation and can remove a cork in six seconds. There’s an included foil cutter, a small aerator pourer, and a vacuum stopper for when you’re done with the bottle.

When they call this a kit, they’re not kidding. Though it may feel like overkill for some, this collection of tools may be perfect for those just starting their wine journey. During testing, everything did what it was supposed to do, though the opener took a bit longer to remove the cork than some of the other openers on the list.

Brookstone is known for its clever home products, and this opener is no different. The sleek black case and steel accents make Brookstone’s Automatic Wine Opener look chic without breaking the bank.

Measuring almost 11 inches in height, this opener works with a single touch of the button on top to easily remove natural and synthetic corks. An included manual foil cutter is built into the opener’s stand. This model uses four AA batteries, which are not included, and opens up to 150 bottles before a new set is needed.

It took a few tries for us to get this one to work—the down button needs to be held down for a bit longer than the others and the first few tries were unsuccessful. However, if you’re prepared for that quirk, it’s simple to use and it’s nice not to have to wait for it to charge.

An opener isn’t all you need to enjoy a great glass of wine. For those needing a full wine kit and interested in a rechargeable wine opener, there’s this 4-in-1 set from Crenova. 

The kit is centered around the non-slip matte-finished wine opener. After using the included foil cutter, you can open your wine in six seconds by pressing the up and down buttons. This set comes with a swan-neck aerator pourer and a manual vacuum stopper. Charging via the included USB cable takes about two and a half hours, and the unit can open up to 80 bottles on a full charge.

Though it took a bit longer to charge than it said (it took more like three and a half hours during testing), this opener was fairly straightforward to use. The snap-in foil cutter made a clean cut on the first try and the cork came out a bit more quickly than average. The aerator pourer didn’t drip and helped bring out the flavor of the wine more quickly.

Though many electric wine openers are cordless and stay charged through multiple bottles, they take up a bit of space. This travel-size opener from Ozeri is perfect for both smaller kitchens and wine lovers who often open a bottle on the road.

Measuring 6 inches tall and weighing 1.12 pounds, this compact opener opens synthetic and natural corks with the push of a button. The transparent shell is great for lining up the opener and seeing when the cork has been removed. It can open up to 80 bottles before needing a recharge and comes with a USB charger, which is helpful for a quick charge in the car.

We found this one the flimsiest, which is unsurprising given that it’s a travel-size opener, but we don't mind that as it means it isn't a huge deal if it breaks or gets lost while away. It is the loudest of the openers we tested, but it did seamlessly open the wine bottle and the transparent shell was helpful.
