Le Creuset Screwpull Lever Model Elegance

Best wine opener overall

*Est. $100
Estimated Price

Although it's expensive, reviewers identify the Le Creuset Screwpull Lever Model Elegance as the best wine opener. Like other lever wine openers, the Screwpull Elegance doesn't require nearly as much arm or hand strength as a regular corkscrew. Reviewers say the Screwpull Elegance is simple to use, with durable metal handles and an included foil cutter. It also comes with a gift box and an extra corkscrew. Experts prefer this model to the Screwpull Classic (*Est. $85), which has plastic handles.

Vacu Vin Winemaster

Best value wine opener

*Est. $40
Estimated Price

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
Oxo Good Grips CorkPull

Budget corkscrew

*Est. $20
Estimated Price

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.

Oxo Good Grips Waiter's Corkscrew
Oxo Good Grips Waiter's Corkscrew

Waiter's wine opener

*Est. $12
Estimated Price

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 Good Grips Waiter's Corkscrew wins over models that cost four times as much.

Electric wine opener

*Est. $20
Estimated Price

If you will be opening multiple wine bottles during a party or if you have difficulty using more traditional openers, an electric wine bottle opener may be a good alternative to traditional wine openers. Reviewers recommend the Oster Inspire Cordless Wine Opener because it allows for easy removal of corks with minimal effort. Owners and reviewers note that the Oster Inspire is a little noisy, and you need to keep it plugged in and charged up.
