Le Creuset Screwpull Lever Model Elegance

*Est. $150 Compare Prices

While it's expensive, reviewers identify the Screwpull Elegance as the best wine opener.

It also comes with a gift box and an extra corkscrew. Experts prefer this model to the Screwpull Classic (*est. $80), which has plastic handles.

Best-value, lever wine opener

Vacu Vin Winemaster

*Est. $50 Compare Prices

While the more expensive Screwpull lever wine opener gets better reviews overall, experts say the Vacu Vin Winemaster is an excellent value. It also uses levers to extract the cork with minimal effort, but reviewers say… the Vacu Vin has a bit of a learning curve. Still, it's a far better value than the Screwpull wine openers, and many owners like it just as much.

OXO Good Grips CorkPull

*Est. $20 Compare Prices

If you don't want anything fancy, experts say that continuous-turn corkscrews are an improvement over traditional screw-and-pull corkscrews. The OXO Good Grips CorkPull doesn't actually require pulling -- you just keep… twisting the worm in the same direction and the cork rides up the spiral. Reviewers like the large handle and simple operation.

Waiter's wine opener

OXO Good Grips Waiters Corkscrew

*Est. $12 Compare Prices

Corkscrews don't get much more low-tech than a so-called "waiter's friend" corkscrew. Experts say it takes some practice to use this type of restaurant-style corkscrew, but once you get the hang of it, it's rewarding.… Using a waiter's wine opener requires good hand and arm strength, Most reviewers say lever-style and continuous-turn wine openers are easier to use, but a waiter's corkscrew is easily portable and can last forever. In one review, the simple OXO Waiter's Corkscrew wins over models that cost four times as much.
