This — along with the gas-filled types — is a great gift for a person who enjoys wine but who has a hard time getting the cork out of bottles. Being too weak or coordinated to get a cork out of a bottle is nothing to be ashamed of, and shouldn’t relegate a person to screwtop wines. This nifty electric opener does all the work for you, opening up to 30 bottles in one charge (yes, it’s rechargeable). The fact that it is rechargeable, and therefore does not require the future purchase of gas cartridges, gives it a slight edge over the equally efficient gas-charged openers.
