10 COUNTERTOP APPLIANCES & SMALL ELECTRICS KITCHENWARE NEWS & HOUSEWARES REVIEW n JANUARY 2014 n www.kitchenwarenews.com Electric Wine Openers: Entertaining With Class and Ease BY: DAVID A. BOWERS The days of fumbling with manual wine openers or trying to figure out complicated gadgets are long gone. The new array of electric wine openers from trusted names are making home entertaining a snap. The Waring Pro WO50B removes up to 80 standard or synthetic corks in one charge and looks stylish in the process. The black and brushed stainless steel body fits snugly over the bottle, and with the click of a button, the opener removes the cork within seconds. Included with this model is a foil cutter that stores in the rechargeable base. Also included is a vacuum sealer to preserve the flavor and freshness of unfinished wine, and a NiMH battery pack. MSRP $39.95 The Ozeri Nouveaux II Electric Wine Opener comes in three stylish colors: red, black and silver. All models include a unique transparent shell that makes the entire cork removal process visual, and each is illuminated with a soft blue light while in operation. The patent-pending removable lid also doubles as a foil cutter, and the European-inspired curved design stands without the need of a base unit. The device can open up to 60 bottles on a single charge, all with the press of a button. Also included with this unit is a wine pourer and stopper that saves the remaining wine for another time. MSRP $25.95 The Metrokane Electric Rabbit Corkscrew is available in black, silver and metallic red, and is considerably smaller than other models. The Electric Rabbit is the only electric opener with an LED screen that shows how many cork pulls are remaining on the charger – up to 30 without recharging. Also included is a built-in foil cutter and AC power supply that fully charges the unit in five hours. MSRP $39.99 The HOMEIMAGE HI-48F1 Wine Opener is offered in a classic stainless steel design with a clear plastic chamber, and features a glowing LED light when in use. The device can open up to 40 bottles per charge and is suited for home or commercial use. The foil cutter is stored neatly in the underside of the black base, which is also the charger of the unit.
