1. Automatic Wine Bottle OpenerIf you're anything like me, the least enjoyable part of an evening glass of wine is the actual opening of the bottle. Corkscrews can be fiddly and difficult if done incorrectly, not to mention the risk of corking the bottle and ruining an excellent Merlot. Well, you can say goodbye to that inconvenience with this Amazon beauty.
This rechargeable bottle opener can quickly and painlessly open your bottle in 6 seconds, a lot faster than I could manage on a good day. With a safe and seamless design, this bad boy can carefully remove the foil from the bottle, pop the cork, and it comes armed with its very own decanter, so you can pour yourself a fresh glass every time. Plus, this makes a great addition to any host or hostess' arsenal, as you get a clean pour no matter how many glasses you've had.
Simply charge this gem up with the provided USB-C cable, and chill out as you can open up to 40 bottles on a full charge. Plus, say goodbye to having to jam the cork back in to protect your wine from spoiling, as this set also comes with a vacuum stopper. So even if you don't finish the bottle, next time you fancy a glass it'll be as good as new.
